I said it a month ago but here it is again - people won't know they're getting it until they get a dispatch notice or walk into a shop and get it. Nokia releases are always horrible with customers having no clue what's going on.
For example two years ago I wanted to buy an N82. It was "released" in September or October but I literally couldn't find it for sale anywhere and nowhere knew when they'd get it. I eventually had to buy one on ebay shipped from Hong Kong. The device didn't show up with European retailers until January. What happened in the two-three months between "release" and availability? Who knows.
If you want a Nokia device and it's for sale, then great! If you want a Nokia device and it's not for sale yet you better have a lot of patience.

Hasn't this already been discussed multiple times? The product was waiting the release firmware that was delayed by 10 days.

Returned back home after being away on a 3 day course, called Nokia Uk again to voice my displeasure at being lied to on numerous occassions last week. Once i decided i had berated them enough i enquired when i should now expect my device and was told 19th November.
Decided to have a wee strop again and tell them that i will cancel my order, fortunately they didn't have my accout details and i am currently waithing patiently for the next delay.
I know going loco down the phone isn't big nor clever but it makes me feel a hell of a lot better and it's something i will look forward to doing everyday until the device arrives. I've only had the one operator hang up on me but i am working hard to make this rise to at least 2 a day.
Keep you posted on my childish adventures

Did anybody check the Nokia retail stores for the N900? There's a chance it might hit the brick and mortar stores before shipping to online orders. I'm considering taking a quick one day return flight to London for this phone, there's no way I'll wait 2 months for it to get here in Bucharest.
BTW, does the UK keyboard layout have the 4 arrow keys?

I think all of us will have our phone by the midof December but some of us before has they can't deliver all in the same week they have months of pre order to fill as probably the preorder fills faster than the production so they have a huge back log to fill.

* FW needed to be available to fix the issue with simcards. I believe this bug was a show stopper. Maybe someone from Maemo could comment?
* Meamo was making sure that FW was available and QA for FOTA
* N900 was ready to ship from warehouses but not yet shipped due to FW was not ready with the bug fix of simcards
* Now N900 is shipping in time and once in peoples hands they can FOTA the FW to fix bug.
Can you imagine the strain of the operators if everyone did the FOTA at the same time. It would cripple your phone system.
