Agreed- that is why I said they are displacing some of the on board 32gigs. No way they were adding memory- the cost and delay reasons are obivious.

I don't think Nokia would mind charging you a little bit more to add more memory, of course. What do they care about? If it were popular enough, they would bend over backwards to make a phone that EVERYONE wanted and costs 10,000 dollars to build. Their business is to make a device that's desirable enough, mass produce to make it cheap enough where the price enters into a demographic of people who want it, and can afford it, and try to make the fabrication as cheap as possible. They're in the business to make us happy. It's another story to make us happy at the price we want!

Why am I ranting? Ohh yeah ,because I want my N900 to be shipped last week.

This should be the same case with any manufacturer. But then why only Nokia is doing this (N900 and also giving importance to open source and the community). Because, apart from doing ONLY business they also CARE. That's why I (rather WE) like them.

Not countering but just saying!!

Dont hold me on this but I heard that the europe will be getting this device later than US? and is this why still Nokia USA says mid october for the shipping and Nokia UK lists November.
And you know what I hope that is true,
