At least they owe to reach out to people who pre-ordered with some tentative timelines if not reasons for delay.

given that the date for the n900 meetup for some cities was announced much later than the US ones, with the London one being the 17th, I suspect that the actual date the device will be shipped out will be the 16th or 17th, so that people going to the London flagship store will be able to buy one of them (except the lucky winner of a device who will be able to leave with his/her device*) as this has shown to cause disappointment at the other meetups.
if I win, I will hire a body-guard to make sure I don't get mugged on the way out :-D

MPD delayed the phone so they could be 'exclusive'

i would not read too much into the meet ups having any relevance on the shipping date.
the n900 is a month late so originally these meet ups would of been after the n900 shipped, its only b/c n900 is late they've ended up being few week's before shipping

I am sure points 2 and 3 will be bypassed by creative individuals, sooner or later, as point 1 has been bypassed. But those limits should never have been there in the first place. If people want to keep their personal data in Google's computers, this is fine for me, but it should not be compulsory. I for one prefer to manage my own mail at home.
When you say root access is an illegal procedure what do you mean by that? Appreciate the post.

If I was a more spiteful person I'd recommend people away from Nokia products in the future. =P
"if you don't want to be treated with respect, if you don't want it to ship when they tell you to, if you want to hang around forums all day long and wait for some release news, if want to be fooled by the company with fake release dates, then N900 is the phone for you. Otherwise just go with and android."
And thats what he did. Went with an andriod phone.
You have my word lads, as soon as i hear of a phone that has the same specs as n900, i will cancel asap, i don't even care if its not released yet.
And who added viagra to the tags?.. wth man?, you did make laugh thou.
