Had I known I would have purchased from Dell on the 6th, saved another $100 before tax instead, since my primary purchasing decision was based on that date which I verified with another NewEgg rep earlier in the month.
Trying to now find out when the Nokia Chicago Flagship store will have them.
And when I asked, I meant how do I do online chat with Nokia?
Anyway. Called Nokia, they said they're shipping, I could order one and get it in the next few days. Called Dell and they told me that they have no new dates, they're sticking to their estimate of the 9th. She even told me to go ahead and cancel if I'm so antsy about it! But yeah, they have no updates. Maybe it'll just take them a bit since the website is still screwed up for Nokia, even.
The nokia guy even asked for my phone number so he could call tomorrow and ask again if I want to buy it! This all seems so odd..
But is it really worth paying Nokia an extra $170 dollars just to have the phone NOW? Or just wait for Dell to update their stuff..

Hi people,
I'm not sure that this should be the place to tell this, but I just got direct info from a good source at Nokia (personal contact, not Nokia Care) that Swedish Nokia will start beginning shipping in week 49. Sorry I cannot say from who but I trust the source. And its due to the some operator sims. None of this is new to some people as it was mentioned before in this thread as "probable" delay. This is just a reconfirmation.
Sorry people!!!

Like I said, they're calling me tomorrow afternoon to try and badger me into a sale. I'll make sure I get full verification and let you guys know again, but on the phone he sounded pretty certain they're being shipped "to customers" as I specifically asked him.

Just for your information. I am in no way affiliated with any operator and is unlike all people on this thread in the same boat as you! Disrespect of any kind is not called for nor unecessary!

i am afraid that when sales people hear that "shipping has begun" they interpret that information in the most useful way for themselves. Being that it is being shipped to customers. And if it is not being shipped to customers, they can always say, "oh well i heard that the shipping had started so i assumed.... that it was shipping to customers."
Thereby when Peter tells that the shipping has begun, he uses this phrase in the most useful way for HIMself. Which is the very first moment that shipping has begun, he will say it to the crowd.
Peter is not going to wait for the shipping of stores to customers to say that shipping has begun. And the store guy is not going to say to customers that the shipping has begun JUST IN KOREA but he is just going to say that the shipping has begun. And thereby letting the customer believe what he wants to believe.
