Wow... we're getting the N810 one small piece at a time? The "leaked" OS2008, a new layout for ITT, a support site for the N810? All of the appetizers have me salivating, but I'm still waiting for the main course.

I was checking the availability status at vendors daily and just saw MobileCityOnline go to In Stock. I called them to ask whether this was a mistake, because they had been saying November 23 for a long time, and they said they got them in early, i.e., today. So naturally the second thing I did was to let y'all know

Next day orders may not ship today, they're still putting them into inventory. Just so you know. Although there's only half an hour left to get an order into shipping today anyway.

I got an email at 11:16 AM (Eastern Standard Time) notifying me that the Nokia N810 was in-stock. Like you, I was told "we received the shipment of N810, we've begun unboxing the tablets, but we first need to inventory them and then begin filling pre-orders in the order they were received."

I called MobileCityOnline at 11:39 AM (EST) to ask about the status of my pre-order. Apparently I was the 23rd person to pre-order. He told me that he would try to get my order out this afternoon, but that it would likely go out tomorrow. I've been told to expect my Nokia N810 on Wednesday, November 21st or Friday, November 23rd.

Either way, it's exciting news! The Nokia N810 are now in stock, and we should begin seeing them very soon.

Any word on Canada? All of the tablets I've seen up here are resale, and usually at a generous markup (to the reseller). The other issue is that I'm not keen on paying $479.99 plus 8% duty (Ontario sales tax). I could get a laptop for that much.

I might just have to wait out on yet another generation of NITs. At least we can all poke fun at the fogey still sporting his 770 a year from now.

Amazon.com has them marked as "in stock":

No, Amazon does not have them in stock themselves. The link you are providing is fullfilled by a company called DataVision.

Fair enough, but whoever fulfills them has them in stock though, and you can order them through Amazon. It's still the same product.

I'm in Canada, but I'll be in the US anyway as it happens, and for more than a week so I won't have to pay any duty. (Great timing.) Try ordering direct from the US or getting someone in the US to order for you and send it up here. Vive la exchange rate.

You could get a desktop machine for that and it would be even less portable. Your point? Small is beautiful, and usually expensive.

It's an interesting point. If you JUST want specs then your money is best spent on a desktop, but if you want a computer to be portable then you either have to drop the specs or raise the price.

The more portable a particular computer system is, the pricier it is because of it.

To put it another way: Cheap, Portable, High Spec - pick two.

It is the same product, but essentially the only role that Amazon has in the transaction is as a middleman matching a seller with a buyer. All support and fulfillment is done by the other company and Amazon is in no way responsible. Amazon imo opinion has perhaps the best order fulfillment and post sale support of any company I have dealt with, but a lot of their "channel partners" are real turkeys.
