But your n900? It's utterly zen. It will happen, but you cannot speed it up. You cannot push the river upstream. Amazon resounds to the sound of one hand clapping... I'm sure they'll tell us in the morning.
The N900 search work for amazon US have you notice?

Rumour has it that many Nokia handsets were dispatched with beta debug software on it that in the background sent text after text to Nokia to report and faults with the original 300 prototypes that went out at the Maemo Summit. I think that this was accidently left into a few batches being shipped round the world which would have ment users without knowing it sending multiple sms messages on an international number. I can only assume they are taking the stock back to the countries such as sweden etc and making sure they are flashed with correct firmware.

Seems kind of dubious. 160 chars seems highly inefficient to send debug info as.

Rumour has it that Dell ships keyloggers in their laptops and the AIM service harvests all of your IMs and uses them as they see fit.

@ OptX, could be true. I doubt they would put it otherwise :S
Actually, they would put it so more people would order from them thinking they would get the device earlier than said by Nokia, though there is probably a 3% chance they're telling the truth since we've seen this happen several times now, but don't keep your hopes up...
