So, now I find out that my phone was charged last midnight and my $50 concession was NOT applied and that the expected delivery (to an address I no longer live at) is on Monday 12/7. Customer Care is the only dept that can change my shipping address but they are closed over the weekend.

If my phone is stolen by the new tenants on Monday all hell will break loose! I tried to input my waybill number into google to get a Fedex tracking # but there were no results.

Is it too soon for the results to show up? I need to contact Fedex ASAP to make sure I get my phone on Monday.
fedex takes a few hours to show up but you should be able to call them as soon as it shows up

No one really knows but read through the previous 100 pages and there is plenty of speculation on what could be the case.

That is the million dollar question.

Dear All,
This is the official deal with the orders in which the November 5th discount was used and most likely any other order where a discount was used. According to Dell, it is directly Nokia's fault. Whenever a company offers a product at a highly discounted rate, it is usually because the manufacturer is giving them a certain quantity of the product at a discounted price so they can turn over the savings to the consumer. This is exactly what happened in the case of the November 5th orders or any other orders where that discount was used. Furthermore, Nokia has assigned only a certain quantity of each batch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) to the orders where the discount was used and the rest of the handsets produced go to people who paid retail for the device. Therefore, even though someone may have placed their order on the 5th, someone can in fact order on the 19th and get their device first, if they paid full price, because the allotment of handsets in the first batch for the discounted orders has been used up. Terrible marketing from Nokia. Thoroughly infuriates me, but this is the truth. Anyone with an issue needs to contact Nokia directly and demand a policy change, as I already have.

ya, I also talked to the sales department of Dell. They told me that they are still solving 2 weeks backorders and waiting for the additional new items from Nokia.

Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Estimated Delivery Date: 12/8/2009
Carrier: Not Shipped
Tracking Number: Not Shipped

Still "In Production" for me. Although I must say that it IS very encouraging seeing a lot of you all getting yours shipped, so hopefully I'll see a change on Monday. And when I do get it, I definitely won't be rubbing it in anyone's face like a few people have already done...

I think your order will change either by tonight or monday... Keep your hopes up.. alot of people are to the point where they dont really care about the n900 because of the long wait... some people just lucky and got it first.. sooner or later you'll have one in your hands..

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm also sure it'll change soon as well, but it just sucks to see so many people who have ordered last week get theirs before mine (ordered on 11/5). But those are the breaks, I suppose. No use in getting mad over it, but anxiousness is definitely brewing.
