This is from Amazon Customer Discussions:
Anyone to call them and confirm?
Hello,
I JUST called NokiaUSA website number - 1-866-59NOKIA
Representative picked up the phone. I will basically write EXACTLY what both of us said.
I can try and call more times if wished, and check up, but this is what I got:
Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on one of your phones.
Rep: Okay, and what phone would that be?
Me: The N900. I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: The phone should come out on a day this week.
Me: Are you sure it's this week?
Rep: Yes. They should be released this week.
Me: When would they be shipped?
Rep: We do not have an exact shipping date for this phone. But if you pre-ordered it, you should recieve it within the relased date of this week. We do it on a first come first serve basis.
Me: Okay. What if I pre-order the N900 tonight, will it be shipped out with 1st or 2nd batch?
Rep: You should have it when it comes out this week.
Me: Okay.
Rep: Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia, have a great day!
Basically, HE told me it would release THIS week. Now, I am skeptical of that, all though I hope he is telling the truth.
Right now I will call again, hopefully a new representative and try to find out other...
Rep: Hello this is --------- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I'm calling to Find out information on the N900.
Rep: Yes sir.
Me: I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: It should be out this week.
Me: This week? Are you sure?
Rep: Yes. The information we have says that it will be released this week.
Me. Is there maybe like a specific date or anything?
Rep: No sir. Only information we have say that it will be out this week.
Me: Is there a guarentee?
Rep: No sir. We only know that it should be coming out this week.
Me. Okay. Okay well if I order it tonight, will I recieve it when it comes out? Or do I have to wait longer?
Rep: You will recieve it as soon as it comes out sir.
Me: Okay. Okay, and is there any case for this phone?
Rep: No. We do not have any cases for this model yet.
Me: Okay, thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia.
Basically, I JUST got the same responce, both representatives said the N900 would be out this week. No SPECIFIC date, but the information THEY were given said that it will come out this week, and if you order it/pre-order it now, you will still get it as soon as it comes out.
Now I am not telling you people that its THIS week, but I am throwing in my help to try and figure out WHEN it will be coming out.
Hope this helped in some way, and hopefully it is this week.

I think Amazon was supposed to ship the N900 this week, ahead of Nokia's pushed-back release date and due to the information posted on this board, Nokia distribution will be aware of the mess-up and correct Amazon to the proper November release date

Guys I don't know why you're all contacting various support reps to find out when it's going to be released. They don't know anything more than anyone else and you're just going to get annoyed if they say a date and then that date passes.
I would suspect at this point even the N900 dev team couldn't give you a cast iron date. I think it's pretty likely they're working through some critical bugs and the hardware won't be released until there's a known good build of software to put on it. The last thing Nokia will want is a negative impression of Maemo since this is their first attempt to put it into the phone/smartphone space.
Just assume you won't see the device until November sometime and that way you'll only be pleasantly surprised if it shows up earlier.

TOY?
did you see the linux ***** on that thing i dont even want to think about it all i dont know what ive done its a hardcore h4x0r-pr0-gr4mm4r device.. wish i bought the ibomb... ;(
serious. it's like a girl. i need one because something inside me says so. but i don't know how it works, its too damn complicated and its only going to frustrate me. and once you know how it works, you have to get deeper into it to understand it better. and the deeper you get into it the more time you spend on it, which will make you in the end very very unhappy and the fun of just playing with it wont be there anymore. You spend so much time on trying to figure it out and then something works and you can play with it, then you are SO damn happy it finally works and you play way too long. then you dont have time for your friends anymore and you become lonely just with n900 and you know it all well and stuff and its fun. but the reason you actually got one is fulfilled and its not fun damnit.
im gonna call nokia NL. will update later.

I called NokiaUsa this morning also.. They said that their information shows 2nd week of Oct to ship. Then the guy said that it would mean sometime this week. He then ask me for contact information... and I told him I had already pre-ordered and just wanted to know a release date.
At least they are saying this week... but since they are saying their information shows... i guess their information could change.. but I hope not.

2. Select "subscribe to this thread"
3. Under "notification type" select "instant notification by email".
4. "Add subscription"
But for the love of god, don't add this thread to your subscriptions.
(this is a terrible thread)
