Yes, I know. I chose not to believe the website, since it hasn't changed with the latest news. And the contact number was freefone.

People at Amazon are adamant. So either they're right, or Nokia is mis-informing htem.

The question is not if nokia's lying to amazon, rather is amazon lying to its customers?
I think they will play around with the price a bit pretty soon, so they try to get alot of preorders for the current preorder price. How to do that? Easy, tell the impatient customers it will arrive very soon and they will preorder it ASAP, before it could be too late.(Or that's at least what they are thinking )
I'm still not sure whether to preorder it for 498€ at alternate or wait up to 2-3 months after it has been released, where a 2nd pricedrop should already happen.

Blahblah. Bold reads: 'the goods as referenced are now available'

In other e-mail it says:

BTW (19%) 100.64
--------

Blahblah. Bold means 'circa 10 days'. Hmmm...

But I have already ordered. They gain nothing by fibbing to me, other than losing their reputation for quality. The only reason I chose them over other suppliers is because I trust them, and have dealt with them without problem for many years.

I can see the point about leaving the date wrong on the main page - but I don't see they gain anything by lying to me. In fact, if they set back the date after I called them this close to it to check, they stand a risk of me cancelling and buying elsewhere. And if they lose my book and dvd custom, (not to mention that of all my friends and family), they lose something. I'm sure Amazon can stand that loss - but it's not a way to do business for long.

Amazon is probably not talking directly to Nokia but to the distributor in the end of logistic chain.

But in a few days we know more

Two of you posted within eight minutes of each other: both had rung Nokia UK yesterday - and you'd got very different answers.

Either you're in alternate universes, or one of you spoke to a customer service operator who did not tell the truth.

Or both of you spoke to customer service operators who did not tell the truth.

Or both of you spoke to customer service operators who did not know of what they spoke.

In other words, neither of you can reply on the information you were given.
