When Nokia already behaves of the confirmed fans ignorant, how Nokia behaves then towards his standard customers?

Sorry Nokia, you just lost one.

How do you claim to know if Nokia can be more transparent or not?

And the word from Peter was no more official than what was said at the Meetups, the only thing official is a press release. I said the word from people who should know, and they were not sales people.

As people have said, an Open community is driven CRAZY by a lack of information, its just in the nature of people who are drawn to this kind of thing. Those people want to know everything they can.

Here is a product where pre-orders started sept of 08, and delays have put it back a year, and they have been OPEN about it.... and not only has it not caused a ton of bad press, but they had to DOUBLE the number of devices for their first run:

(look, pre-orders a year ago, and it has been updated more recently than anything Nokia has told us, Nov 2)

Obviously this is not an entirely fair comparison, as its a group of people making this device, and a multi national corp making the N900.... Nokia is rooted in their old ways, but if they want success in an open community, they should start moving in that direction.


Also, at no point did I say it would be a good idea to bother c-levels at Nokia, I posited some ideas if people wanted to take an active roll.... I was mostly trying to make a point that complaining in the forum wont really help... I know no one is going to try those things, thats the point. Unless you commit yourself to one of those extreme measures, there is nothing you can do.

I certainly agree that it is out when it is out, and they probably do not even know the release date yet, but there is a lot they do know, that could put a lot of pre-order customers at ease (or not, depending)

The problem must be very BIG. Nokia handed out some 300 devices for testing and after that they “cancelled” the release. Problems are so big that they can’t even estimate how long repairing it can take so it is impossible to even give guess of the release date for us.
I preordered from Nokia 05.10.2009 and feel quite stupid and frustrated waiting for something Nokia is releasing in November, or December or 2009 or 2010 or 2100 or 2190

Has anyone preordered the N900 SIM FREE from MPD and got a solid date on shipping? Many thanks

Bye.
