I was about to cancel my Amazon order and go with the $569 nokia.com deal but then I realized they charge tax (why??) so it's $622 express with tax to CO. That's almost $100 more than my Amazon order so I'll wait a bit longer and see what happens- after all I've waited this long so far! And my E71 is still fine...

Dear god, it would not be so hard for them to just open up and tell us what kind of stock they have, that they're shipping in order, and Next Shipment: Unknown.

I would like that and to know what # I am on the list. Period.

If it's worth it to me, I'll stick with them.

When I talked to the lady on the phone about switching from the 9th of Oct. to Nov. 20th, she assured me that there would be no difference because they would have enough phones for all preorders. At least all preorders + mine up to that date.

That no longer appears to be the case so I traded a $50 F*CKING dollar gift card for a wait of an unknown amount of time.... or a $160 F*CK you from NokiaUSA.

We have been totally ripped off paying extra for 1-day shipping in order to get our device faster, only to have it stuck in the shipping process endlessly.

I actually would think they want all of the devices to arrive on monday/tuesday.... so they ship the slower shipping ones so that htey won't arrive before the weekend adn then the faster 1 day shipping on monday...


Don't want Nokia getting mad at them for giving us things we paid for months ago ahead of when Nokia said they had to make us wait for.....

Preordered on Amazon on Sep 19th. Changed the price twice. Never got thrown to the back. I emailed Amazon this week asking what's going on with the "Not released Yet" status when it was already announced as released and shipping with other vendors. I received a reply saying that it's quite common for a delay between release and shipping (whatever). Then Yesterday my order status changed to "Shipping Soon" and impossibility to cancel. Next was a nice e-mail today... It shipped today. CAN YOU HEAR ME DO THE HAPPY DANCE.... UGA CHAGA UGA CHAGA. Interestingly Amazon still shows the status on their website as "Not released yet".

P.S. My final price after all the rebates will be $489. To top it off I had Amazon Gift certs for $450 so my final out of pocket expense will be $39.

And that prompted the meanest email I could bring myself to write to Amazon.

Wasn't that mean, but I tried. I think Spinnukur is better at it than I.

I order a ton of stuff through Amazon, but I gave up on them with the n900. I switched to NokiaUSA yesterday (unfortunately had to pay tax on it) and I got a fedex tracking number today saying that it'll be here on Monday. It totally blows my mind why there is a hold up with Amazon, but as I need the n900 before Dec 2nd I wasn't going to risk waiting.
