I know that this is the anger thread, but I have been able to use a pre-production N900 for a few days now, and no matter how you feel right now, it is worth the wait. It's seriously the coolest device ever. The media player is quite nice, but won't play some videos. I am waiting for mplayer and VLC to become available. The integration of messaging is really amazing, SMS conversations look just like skype chat or google talk chat. You can leave different chat sessions open and switch between them. I could go on and on about the thoughtful features and minor issues with this phone, but please go out and do something fun and stop reading this thread.

And also it had several contact numbers of store which sell Nokia phones. So i called couple of stores in Queens, NY. Some of them said they should have it by next Tuesday or later but others gave me an estimated time frame of 2-3weeks and they didn't have a price either.
Nice vid- you know it occurred to me- in the last 3 days I've seen several N97 mini adverts on TV suddenly pop up. i wonder if Nokia are waiting for those to subside so they can do same for 900- I haven't seen a single advert anywhere for the N900- has anyone else?
Anyway, I just registered on here been reading threads about N900. I'm thinking of buy when its available in stores for pickup.

It seems pretty odd that nokia would have an announcement like Nokia n900 Begins Shipping if that were the case.
I would think that a company would have an announcement like: "n900 production is underway! Expect deliveries to start early in the week of November 23rd!". That way people are all excited (and, more importantly, informed). Instead, we got either a completely misleading or flat out lie of a post last week. Hence, every single person who has been waiting for up to two months has every right to complain about the situation.
I would expect that Nokia will do another press release for customers when N900 is available in shops, as it did with E72.

I ordered mine a couple of days ago on Vodafone from Nokia Reail. Do you think I will receive it the same time as you lot who ordered many moons ago? Or will I have it later on, say first couple of weeks in December?
Also, they asked me to prove identification and bank details, I sent them an email containing these two days ago but havn't heard anything back yet. Do you think I should chase this up or is it normal to take a few days?

My guess is any projected dates are pure guesses. Need the boats to dock, clear customs and then inbound deliveries updated by each retail channel. Then it depends on how accurate and "real" time their product tracking is- from the point they are actually received by them.

I can see no clear-cut reason why Nokia Czech would release their handsets to Czech customers LATER than Nokia UK. Hence next week (27th) must be the likely date than everyone whom has ordered from Noka Online (in whatever european country - perhaps excluding Sweden) finally gets their N900.
This would also tie-in with the estimated delivery date announced by Play.com. Cheers for the link
