mmm. It's a risk to start again at the end of the line, this close to release, assuming I'm in a pre-order queue with play.com. I need to have a good old think / drink! That's put a downer on my weekend
edit: I can't see how MPD can have exclusivity for 2 months when it's not available to preorder on their site anymore - redirects to Nokia uk page.
I think you should disregard the queue issue, they'll all get send out pretty much on the same day.

Are Nokia really that stupid to start selling the device in January and not have it ready by now or end November as they promised? Because to me it seems that the only people getting the N900 this month are the ones who pre-ordered it and the rest of people will have to wait till January. I mean come on - no Christmas sales? Nokia produces the best phone ever and they don't have enough units for people to buy? Come on, how dumb can this get? People are pissed off as it is already for they have been waiting through the many delays uptil now. If Nokia will really have another batch in January, they are losing many customers. Either someone cancels their pre-order because they are angry about the long waiting or they get out and buy another device. Come on Nokia, think please. And you can call me whatever you want, but i have spent 3 months of my life looking into everything about this phone and for 3 months helping people on the czech forums understand the device properly with over 20 pages of replies. Sorry, but i want to get the device now, not wait for 1,5months for the next batch. So I will say it again, loud and clear:
We want more N900 units in the Czech Republic, there is not enough, thank you!

Amazon, Play etc all had deals to take preorders. Then they came to a point where they removed the device from search, and stopped taking pre-orders. My guess is that Nokia may have said they didn't want anyone else making general (non-pre-order) sales. More likely, I think the guy in Regent Street meant that you won't be able to buy it in Carphone Warehouse, Jag or Phone4U till January, which I think is fairly standard procedure.
If Amazon, Expansys and Play had a deal with Nokia for pre-orders, they'll get them. Maybe a week or two behind, but not delayed till January. Imagine if Play, Amazon etc all decided not to deal with Nokia in the future? Not a game they want to play.

I just received call from Nokiausa because i preordered nokia n900 from them and cancel it. She asked me if i want to place an order with them and get 15% discount. She said that they are shipping them now... I said no because i bought it from amazon with 3 year HDA warranty.
I just want to say that it was nice of them to do that.
They make me feel better. Also it is official that they shipping them.
