So basically, you and a lot of the people on this thread listened to the retailers dates and totally ignored Nokia. Nokia said Q3, then delay, then shipping on 10th. I just dont see the big deal. Why oh why you listen and believe the retailers (they WANT your order so will very readily make up dates to get your cash) I have no idea.
People need to use their brains a bit in this thread.
First of most people here did not pre-order from Nokia directly. many of us ordered from amazon, newegg, dell etc. And after Nokia announced it was shipping we, we were disappointed to find out that most of the retail outlet pushed back their expected delivery date. ( which is not in line with the shipping announcement by Nokia) Amazon and Newegg have set early December as likely delivery date. And they have said even this is not written on stone. AFAIK we are in the dark as to what is really going on. 3 month after making a pre-order we still don't know when we should expect our device. This is not how things would be done.

No information since the devices "shipped" and no real status updates by any channel partners since Tuesday when Nokia said they shipped. If there are any fellow logistics people here that deal with shipments, you will know the answer.
The N900's were probably shipped by boat.

Folks, they are on a boat- that is why we are in the dark and Nokia does not want to admit this, since they do not want to pi55 even more people off.
They probably saved a couple dollars per unit shipping by boat. This is an estimate, since pallet weight is the actual bulk charge (not counting other fees etc).

You canīt save a couple of $ doing it though. It costs very little pper N900 if you fill a plane with them to fly them Korea to Europe/US.
They might save 60-70 cents per phone by doing this, but thatīd be pretty darn stupid.

uhm
shipping like 30000 n900's is like 2 - 3 sea containers?
thats 1 or 2 cargo planes?
and 1/100th of the load that goes on a freight container ship.
well. i think that'll be a bigger difference than 60/70 cts per unit.
other perspective:
50c per unit difference on a 30000 load is 15000$
5$ per unit differnece on a 30000 load is 150000$
what is their profit on an n900 is 100 $ average. that would be the same as selling 1500 units.
difference on total shipping for all n900's, say in total they ship 500 000 units.
the amount is 15 times as much. so 225000 or 2.250.000 $
big amounts
pfff i don't know. someone fill me in plz

You guys are right, just depends on a few things comparing to air delivery,
1. Air bulk freight
2. Air expedited freight (this also involves paying "fees" to the local government inspection group for customs)
Even if by boat and there is a queue at port for outbound, there are still additonal "fees" that need paying if you want to jump the line, so to speak.
Net result is a unit price impact of .50 to almost $2 per unit. Just depends on the total cost of all the logisitics parameters getting product from factory to channel partners point of shipment control (inbound).
Plus my perspective is that we almost always shipped launch product expedited air.
Added:
Still, I bet our N900's are probably on some funky a55 container bobbing along the sea.
