Soooooo... I guess the "Who will ship their product first? Nokia or Pandora?" rages on.

There's no point in calling NokiaUSA anymore...they'll tell you anything to get you off the phone.

As I said elsewhere on the same topic:

I was actually calling to make sure my order wasn't cancelled. I had received a call yesterday saying it was, and was told I'd receive a call back after a consult with management (but never did). The information I received was given freely without any inquiry as to ship date/delay reason/etc.

Saunalahti, Finland's 4th largest network, said today that Nokia will start shipping N900 in early December. This has been confirmed by Nokia to them.


Juu, päivitin juuri.
Olemme saaneet Nokialta arvion jotta Suomen toimitukset alkavat joulukuun alkupuolella. Ilmeisen todellinen syy on että he haluavat viimeistellä softaa, se on tietysti hyvä ja toivotaan että tämä aikataulu ei enää siirry.


Rough translation:

Recent update.
We have received estimate from Nokia that shipments in Finland will start early December. Apparent reason for delay is that Nokia needs more time to finish the software, which is of course good and lets hope that this is the last delay.

some of you may already know about the delay for the N900, to the end of jan 2010 (for the swedish markets only, dont shoot me).
i got an email from the swedish shop i ordered from telling me just that. But still im waiting for a more trustworthy source (peter, nokia, anyone who knows...) to confirm or deny that.
Now please, can anyone help me with that? i have also ordered from the swedish nokia shop, will they have it when you guys have your phones in nov?

If it's being subsidized then there is probably additional supply chain management involved for distribution through the carrier, however it's possible they'll still ship through other channels next month.

Geez, Nokia is in Finland, right?

So why would they delay the N900 to Sweden and Finland by another 2 or 3 months? Even if the release device has some bugs they will be fixable through software no matter where you live. So whats with the delays?

They are supposed to get at finnish launch at the same time as all 3rd party resellers. All finnish networks also sell unsubsidized phones, as nearly 80% of all phones are sold unsubsidized in Finland.

I placed my order with MPD at the weekend - had to wait for pay day to arrive first! My bank account now shows a £73 difference between actual and available balance, which some people might object to, but I take the view that at least it stops me spending the money on something else!

Just gotta keep a tight grip on my trusty N95-8GB and maybe download me a copy of the Maemo dev tools for Linux to distract me until the courier knocks on the door.
