This was the response I got:

"Hello,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I've checked with concerned department and found that we've not yet received enough stock to ship the orders for the item "Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone."

As we don't know when we get this stock from the manufacturer, currently the availability of "Nokia N900 Unlocked Phone," is listed as hasn't been released yet. We'll make sure to update our website listing when we know more.

Once we receive more copies, we will be able to ship it to you. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks between the release and distribution of a new publication.

When your order is shipped, you should receive an e-mail message confirming the date, contents, and method of your shipment. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the shipping process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is available and we have shipped it to you.

My email viciously told them that if they were going to send me that same response about not having stock and not even look at the links I sent them, that instead of emailing me they should just cancel my order. I'd rather order from Nokiausa than Amazon even at $160 if they were going to continue disrespecting me by not even reading my email.

UGH! I'm so pissed. I told them that it was ridiculous that they were treating me like a 4 year old, when I had spent $500+ on a device from them and was only asking for information.

Ship to State: Arizona
Date Pre-Order: September 19th
Shipping: Free super saver
Status: Shipping Soon per Amazon.com
Tracking: No tracking number or any other indication of being shipped
CreditCard: $582.99 dollar preauthorized on card, no actual charge yet

I finally canceled my amazon order today and ordered from the nokia store. I kept thinking it would ship this week, but I have no clue really, and they haven't EVER given me a freaking update. So I decided I didn't want to give my money to amazon, until they get their act together. It cost me more to buy it from nokia, but I have a feeling I'll get it sooner.

Sorry for being off-topic, but god damn... Almost ordered from nokiausa and cancelled amazon until I saw the $40 tax to NJ... Not sure if its worth the the $40 difference... Amazon is $530 (and I probably wont be eligible for rebate - ordered oct 17), against nokiausa's $570 after rebate.

OK I have some good news:

0. I ordered September 21, 2009

1. My phone is in transit to Mass:
2. Amazon adjusted the price to reflect the lowest pre-order price

So not the phone will be on my porch on Tuesday the latest and I will be 6000 miles away and unable to play with it.

At least when i get back on sunday I get to play

I got fed up with the wait and went in to the Nokianstore yesterday and bough the N900.

(damn the different space bar is really screwing my typing: got to get used to it

Just got my ship notice from Amazon during the overnight. The N900 will arrive tomorrow (Nov. 30). I pre-ordered on Sept. 16.

Forgot to mention... despite calling Amazon a couple days ago and inquiring about lowest pre-order pricing and being assured that it would automatically happen... unsurprisingly it did not happen. I'll call them up and get credit which is not a problem for me as a steady stream of cardboard is always leaving Amazon distributors on its way to my house.

Here's something interesting I noticed.

Ordered 10 Oct, 2-day ship, currently "order being prepared"...

Nothing about the estimated arrival date when I view the order on Amazon's web page. However, when I view the order using the Amazon application on Android, I see it says "Dec 10". It doesn't say what that date is, but on my other orders that's the date it is expected to arrive. Not sure what it means, but it's interesting.

I'm with you mate... keep hoping for a change in my order status. I ordered mine on Nov 21.

Please Amazon, please !

Time to party!

just this morning, amazon usa...
