I think the Dell calls are only going to people who had a mismatch between their billing address and shipping address. On top of that, I had just moved, so there was some confusion apparently about the billing address. I doubt you are being left out if you haven't been called.

It IS gone...... This might not be good. We should not be surprised if we get cancellation notices. Not a good sign when Dell pulls a new product from web sales. I see two probable scenarios opposed to us getting our "good deals".
1. They cancel the order
2. They let the orders hang until we cancel ourselves.
They can claim they decided not to carry the N900- at least until this situation dies down.
Dell plays BOTH of these games. They are losing too much money already. If they accepted 1,000 preorders, counting free shipping, they are eating about $30,000. Will probably not happen. Dell would rather stop a delivery of product and let the "bad orders" purge themselves.
Might want to keep Newegg N900 link handy

Pulling the product from their web site may be an issue for all of us that got "the deal".
I used to work for the company that makes their printers and I was involved with their marketing group for a while (supply and web channel planning).
I unfortunately know how they operate, but will be happy if completely and utterly wrong here
Now, where is that Newegg link....

They haven't called me yet either... Also, N900 is no where to be seen on Dell's website anymore... Hmm...

considering that opera mobile uses opera's server to cache images and prepare websites, it's actually a quite pathetic result for the HD2

*headdesk*
what part of "Nokia UK are saying shipping starts on the 9th, consistently, for the past 3 weeks" have you missed?

I thought they were the same thing. Don't MPD run Nokia retail? How is this different from Nokia UK? I'm pretty sure that they claimed somewhere on their website that they would be the first to get N900s in the country and to dispatch (I can't damn well find the webpage, but they definitely said it).

And that amounts up to a lot of times. Personally, I've spoken with at least 6-7 different people now. They're all saying the same date, without fail. That doesn't just come from invention or some other made up crap.

If you don't want to believe that, that's fine, and I'm not saying that it will happen - but I have no evidence to the contrary, and a lot of coincidental evidence pointing to it being correct.
I'm personally not bothered either way.

I jumped on this deal and canceled an Amazon preorder for it like many others... but if it doesn't go through, I think I will be happy with my N810 after all. I've been having serious second thoughts almost since I preordered anyhow.
I really hope it comes through, though.
For everyone (who ordered)'s sake.

When I spoke with someone from the Nokia Online Shop last week, to recreate my order, he said something about "when it's released next week" twice in the conversation.
But then I asked "oh, is the release date next week?", he said no there isn't one yet.
So tantalising!
