I think that you're probably right, but the fact remains that Nokia UK have been telling people something else. If there'd been a nice clear announcement on the tenth that said they'd started shipping and would be in stores on the 23rd then I think people would have been a lot calmer. It's not so much the wait that's the problem as it s the being told things that aren't true.

I would imagine that other than USA we all don't use Nokias own shops like 99% of others who buy Nokia phones because they are overpriced and in my long experience with Nokia they haven't ever had phone released before the shop next to them.

I haven't ever trusted random Nokia sales persons to provide any facts because i don't really consider them knowing any more than other retailers i haven't taken those days seriously and i would urge you guys do the same or you will have mental brake down before N900 really gets out

Back to the issue on ground. Am happy our colleagues in the UK will be getting their N900 very soon. It gives us much hope that our ordeal will soon be over.
Come on, EVERYONE knows George Finidi (or is it Finidi George?) ... he was part of that great Ajax side! And later at ..... Ipswich...
