It amazes me how many people in this thread are still talking about "x company says they should have it in stock today" etc when it was already mentioned earlier that Nokia will make an official statement once they are shipping.
Do we really have a reason to believe that will not happen? If not, guessing is pointless as no such announcement has been made.
So why would it amaze you? of course you are going to find people looking around forums and googling for a specific date, its only because Peter is ignoring.
We should get a specific date, and they should keep their word. But no they don't, now the least they could do is show some respect and keep in touch, but no. Not that either. We don't even know why its being delayed, thats how much they are ignoring us.
To be honest, the only thing that amazes me, is that the most of us have not canceled their orders. I will keep my order, till the end of November that is.
PS, sorry if im being rude to you, its nothing personal, its just that.. its to much you know. I would not react like that if they at least have told us why the delay, and why still no specific release date.

pfffff.... it's like a bus...
its october 30th and the bus is scheduled to arrive a 9:15 am.
but there was a traffic jam so the bus will arrive at november the 30th at 9:15 pm.
and if the bus goes above 50... the announcement is made.. if it goes below 50.. the announcement will be blown up.. the bus has 20 passengers on it.. what do you do.. what... do.. you....do?

taxi = n97
While people are waiting, what they/we seem to do here, there is a fun article on a fantasy uPhone back in january 2007. I think the idea of it was to make an opposite of the iPhone or instead of a useless a useful device. (my judgement may be clouded) Anywho, the n900 meets quite a lot of these points if i have interpret the article correctly. which.. might be fun to read.

Also, assuming what's going on with the N900 is that Nokia is still tweaking the software, then, as a Linux user, I'm used to at least some distributions that set deadlines for themselves way in advance and meet them. Ubuntu comes out with a whole new version every 6-months. Gnome does the same (and Maemo's Hildon framework is after all part of the Gnome project). Deadlines can be an effective way to be productive, if managed properly. Maybe the comparison to Linux is not a perfect analogy. But it seems like there are plenty of organizations that handle these things better.
Ultimately it's bad PR to get the early adopters all worked up about something and then drive them crazy with delays. My excitement and interest is already waning. It doesn't help the buzz for Nokia, if people just burn out waiting and lose interest. So I just think, if Nokia's not pretty sure it's ready, then don't announce it. Don't start the buzz rolling, if you're not ready to deliver while people are still excited.
