the devices have been in the assembly factories, waiting for the last firmware update. that apparently happened this weekend, now they're being packed and shipped.
no one would pack a delayed product, only to un- and repack it before shipping.

SubCore is right, this is why we had to wait. And the devices were not packed, before the latest software is installed! It's not the first device NOKIA has assembled!?

We'll see when they start arriving with people. It will certainly be interesting to see what the gap between the installed firmware date and today actually is.

That would have meant they shipped a device with problems without a solution - which they now have with a new firmware which everyone can update!

Thanks for opening a new thread. The thread of all threads has become kind of overwhelming for me to comment There was nothing else to be said until we are 100 percent sure that we are shipping. Sorry for not announcing a particular shipment date. 10 days into November, we are ready..
Proper information goes a long way to retaining faith

I don't know which it is but it could go either way. Nokia could have been manufacturing and packing N900s all this time with the expectation people update it as soon as they get it. They could also have been manufacturing them and leaving them aside to be factory flashed so they ship with the new firmware but that has a lot of logistical problems.

Regardless, congratulations to all the people out there who will now get their new phone.

Nokia has had a few problems when it comes to serving applications or even firmware updates to just the internet tablets. Imagine the n900 which has even more popularity!
And also it could be because there were bugs that could net in terrible reviews so they rather hold onto the device until those were fixed.
