on a more general subject, it's really annoying how those threads about release dates (and similar threads) are popping up like mushrooms after the rain. The Signal-to-Noise Ratio in t.m.o is leaning slowly but surely to the Noise side, and that's very unfortunate.
I see a lot of new users in the forum, which is a good indicator that the N900 and Maemo 5 is building up some momentum in the general public, but unfortunately a lot of the aforementioned noise is generated by new users who don't want to use the search function (hint: you may get the information you are looking for faster by using the search function and looking for an answer that has already been posted)...
I don't want to be dismissive of new users (honest!), on the contrary: I really enjoy to see such an enthusiasm around the platform, and I also enjoy helping out as much as I can new users (years of being a TA leave some habits
).ok, I'll stop ranting here...all my apologies

Previously it sounded like it had not been fully confirmed as releasing in October, only "expected" to release. So hopefully its much more concrete this time around.
That said, I think its fair to say there is ALWAYS room for further delays if a real shop stopper bug turns up unexpectedly.

That was a good one. Well, I'll just have to do with Duke Nukem 3D on the N900 instead

We see a guy who has an N900 and a fireball streaking across the sky. It must be the end of the world and everybody knows that'll be 2012.
So that means the N900 will definitely be released by 2012.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:53.
It's a few paragraphs of typical marketing bs followed by a couple of hints that is is a joke. Google "Duke Nukem Forever". Yeah I'm on the pre-order list for that too. Then we get to the heart of the matter. They physically lost all of the phones.
Just thought we could use some humor.
