It has a social mission.

BTW: The battery of my old phone has expired, and therefore I was waiting for the N900 to avoid expense for a new battery. But now it was too late. I boght a cheap new phone (cheaper than a new battery for my old phone) and can read this thread more relaxed. I can wait now for falling prices. Nokia, you are too late in the sense of Michail Gorbatchov!

News: German reseller ProMarkt did not update delivery state but raised the price a little bit instead of answering to my request.

I'm hoping play.com have a similar outlook. They changed from 30/10 straight to the 30/11.

Things like "nothing will comes close to th N900 shipping delayed thread"

"remember maemo's longest thread? that N900 delayed thread?"

or

"the only thread that stayed around longer than this thread was that "delayed thread" back when the N900 was released, do you remember that?"
Just wait until the N920 Shipping Delayed thread hits these pages. I predict a blockbuster that will beat all before it!

Back to topic..... Can someone summarise the points again for everyone?

i'm thinking....
Date it all started
Initial deadline
peters news
Fake shipping news
official we have shipped to distributors news
(Everyone then assumes that means they are shipping to customers)

Summarise with latest country news? - ie. Outer Mongolia may not get it until January - but still before Sweden?

Interesting that Yagma (Powered by ProMarkt.de) lowered their price to €497:

Don't go on live chat with MDP today then, I think they've got the work experience kid on.

They haven't copied me the text but it went something like................

Me: Can you update me on N900 delivery? I know you've probobaly already been asked.

Them: Mid November. Don't know we haven't got a date.

Me: I thought we were getteing them Monday/Tuesday.

Them: at this point I thought I'd been cut off. Then 5 minutes later.

Mid November.

Me: I suppose Monday is Mid Novemeber.

Them: Don't know.

Me: It may be worth informing your customers as I believe you have 500 pre orders?

Them: Ok

You've got to love them. Anyonme else fancy a go?

Meh, i got a crappy response that made no sense to me. What ever happenned to personalised responses? hehe

Hi,

Delivery of Nokia N900 stock into our Nokia stores has unfortunately been delayed by two weeks to w/c 16th November. The delivery when it arrives will be the first N900 stock in the UK and orders will be dispatched on a first ordered, first serve, basis directly from our Nokia stores. For those of you that have already pre-ordered and are expecting dispatch on the 30th October as previously advertised, please accept our sincere apologies and be assured that you are top of the dispatch list for a new Nokia N900. We have already seen working samples of the N900 and can assure you that it does exist and it will be very much worth the wait!

Regards
