This thread is a waste of time, i would rather stick with Monstrarity of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33313&page=214. At least it is funny

No, the last official word came from Peter at Maemo marketing. He said "November".
The only Official words to date have been Oct 26th and November. Words from a sales department, however well informed, even the company's own sales department are not Official.
As for badgering people High Up at Nokia, do you really think that's a good idea? All it will do is get people more hacked off.
The team planned to release it a fortnight after the 300 were loaned. They realised there was more to do, so set it back 'about a month'. I'm quite sure that the relevent people are working flat out on Whatever It Is they decided to improve so it will be available asap. Remember, Nokia themselves have a pile of money tied up in this, along with a lot of corporate kudos. They want it in the shops before the holiday shoping starts more than we do!
Cut them a break. Yes, it's a pain. Frankly, I never believed the 9th was a real date. We will hear as soon as the devices are flashed with the release firmware and start shipping out of the factories, which as far as I know are in somewhere far flung like South America, not anywhere near Nokia UK (Milton Keynes?) or even Finland.
I'd love to believe the devices will be in people's paws this week. But it ain't gonna happen.

if you already have the phone there is no point going to the meetup

Has this already been here:
http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Nov2009/Nokia...firmed-3G.html
"UK : The widely anticipated Nokia N900 will launch on November 16th (Order yours here).
The Nokia N900 has been delayed due to some optimization of the Maemo 5 operating system, but its launch date is now certain."

17 minutes until close of business here in the UK.
I'm not going to cancel my pre-order, because sods law says that if I did, Nokia would ship the day after!

If people seem to change to the dark site (Windows Mobile, Android, iPhoo...) this would make Nokia concentrate their work to bring it on the market ASAP.

Now I've got my Dorothy Parker quote out of the way, I might as well say that against my better judgement I rang Nokia to see what the state of play on my pre-order was. Chappie on the other end said that the N900 would be out before December. Which is exactly the official line. So chill out. Have a beer (assuming, unlike me, you're somewhere where that's possible). There are significantly worse things happening than not getting a new toy.

Damn, I was looking forward to it shipping today. I didn't want another thing I'd be waiting for on top of the Pandora.
