I know how Apple has its fanboys... and here, I have to say that it's rank speculation that I see first, not blind fanboy-ism.

Anyway, it's been said in the thread somewhere "...this thread makes baby Jesus cry..."

Amen. I feel like I've given attention to the wrong child today.

It was on there press releases and their marketing staff, maybe you didn't read/listen to those ;-)
But agreed it wasn't a promise

I think it's more the fact that we are drawing close to the possible release date, and it may have been delayed by another month or maybe not. I think the frustration is affecting my judgement slightly.

For shelling out 500 GBP on a device, (plus another 100 on spare battery and sd cards) it would be nice to have some kind of update, as if it is going to be delayed then perhaps I should look at spending my money on some other stuff I need and come back to the n900 later?

Even just a "it's on schedule" would be good, even if we don't have any exact time tables, but pre-ordering possibly three months in advance seems a bit silly as maybe it's just the volumes and the people who have preordered first will get their devices, but that's my real gripe I suppose. We just don't know.

And people moan about Eldar, but he is the only source of real information we have, whether this is reliable or not it his comments compound the situation.

And yes, what we announced in the Nokia N900 press release is still the plan, no change: "The Nokia N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009..."

You are right, I am sure it was a typo (Speaking about typos) He probably meant "Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo" = Nokia CEO.

By the way if Olli can be translated as WAS , I would be happy to take his job*



*Not to confuse it with Apple's Jobs (CEO)

yes that was only rhetoric question. Bet that if Eldar really knew the guy, he'd know how to spell the name...

oli = was, olli = mans name in Finland.
