Should add postal code so we can see it on a map

1. Not an east coast issue since MD and NC are getting them

2. I would have thought at least MD and VA would get deliveries from same hub and looks like people that ordered on 11/19 are getting before 11/5 orders.

3. The current sample suggests low supply (DUH), since if Dell had their pre-order allocations, we should probably see more orders fulfilled.

4. MD gets them, VA does not, but NC gets them. Odd.

Of course a lot of people may be getting them everywhere, unless we assume our own sample represents the whole thing.

im with the distrubution theory cuz Arizona is getting no love either

however this was my first purchase from Dell and as you can see not a really satisfying one, with all these kinds of distribution dicrimination, I am pretty sure not going back to dell another time, unless something I want and I can get it in the deal I got 470 total for N900

Not all of NC is getting them I am still waiting .

What is going on with DELL !!!!

Nokia USA website now lists N900 in stock

With complete awareness some may throw both blunt and sharp objects at me, at least some Dell orders are seeing movement and now Nokia direct apparently is getting the phone in stock. For the US, this suggests Nokia direct channels are getting all available allocations first.

My guess is more Dell orders will be filled today and tomorrow and some more here will be much happier than if ordered from somewhere else. If supply is constrained, Amazon and Newegg may be waiting at least a week longer....

even if they ship tomorrow for my order I would still not be happy with Dell how they played this. order from the 5th doesnot get any shipments while the order on the 19th does.
(in context of my order from 5th and my friends from the 19th)

I'm siding with the distribution center theory. If you sort the spreadsheet by state, you'll see that ALL Orders to Georgia have been shipped, ALL orders to Kentucky have been shipped and 2/3 orders to NC have been shipped (and the one in NC that hasn't been fulfilled was a singleton order placed on the 20th).
