BTW store.nokia.com is showing it in stock and no longer a preorder. Maybe a good sign?

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere yet, but Nokia appears to have run out of stock in Finland, and won't be filling all pre-orders. Not sure if other countries are experiencing the same problem

edit: Just noticed someone mentioning no stock till Feb 10 in the USA. The linked article suggests only a week or so delay for unfilled pre orders in Finland, so might not be that bad

From reading on this forum, it doesn't seem like any of them have been filled.

Also, I asked the question of price matching to other sites that are selling the n900. He said nokia.com doesn't pricematch, and that they (and their authorized retailers) were the only one's shipping the phone at this point. I asked "who are your authorized retailers in the US?", to which he replied "dell.com and buy.com". I said "so these retailers can ship now?", and he replied "yes". I asked "what about amazon.com?" and his reply was "they will not be allowed to ship unitl the end of the month. Only nokia.com and it's authorized retailers will be shipping this product now". This reps info seems to go along with what I've been reading is happening in the forums. I wish I had just copied and pasted the chat session into the forums here, but I've quoted it as stated. Thought this might be info you guys wanted to see.

I called 1 866 59 NOKIA to ask when it would ship if I placed a new order today. They said it would be the first week of December. They also said that preorders were shipping.
I chatted with a nokiausa.com rep on September 23rd and he told me the N900 would ship before the end of the month so I placed a preorder. He was off by more than 2 months. I would not believe them now.

Not sure the order number reference will help, since they are also supposed to verify who you are too. Their reps may get in trouble if they said you can use another person's order number. The order number is an access point to an account. Dell's security team would use such violations to trim head count by the offenders

I have never heard of buy.com being called an authorized retailer before.... although that would be great. If it were true, maybe they will ship my 10/19 buy.com order sometimes soon..... although I have lost all hope that I will EVER get this device now.

Nokia webshop is the worst system I've come across!
pre-order system that triggers fraud system on banks and no ability to re-auth an order!
(Which means pre-ordering was a complete waste of time and effort)
Add to that I can't re-order on my account now as it gives a 500 page, so have had to set up a new one.
Damn next time I'll go with MPD, might be slower but at least it can't be worse than this.
