Go there now, show them the letter, and tell them you are not leaving until you have a N900 in hand.

I HOPE that they are going to be shipping the devices soon, and I know many of you would much rather have the device now to just play around than wait any longer... But looking at this from a neutral perspective, I doubt that is going to happen.

If you follow closely on all the youtube uploads up to now, many of the videos actually show a lot of flaws still in the n900. I can't remember specifically what, but there seem to be a number of bugs. Now, unless these are already fixed, they still have some way to go till the release (because they probably have to plug the bugs and stuff that don't work, and re evaluate from there)..

Also, I have spoken to some Nokia reps and I know for a fact that Finland is going to be one of the first countries that are getting the n900 (I don't know what "one of the first" means in detail). Also, I have been told by Nokia that phones are shipped out in the order that they were made.

Also, it seems a bit weird for Nokia to give out 300x N900's to developers and then the next week start shipping the phones; it hardly gives the developers time to test out their software and have a large enough repository to pull in some of the non-techsavvy audience. Remember that we are the geeks that follow what's going on with N900 every single day, of course you wouldn't mind having this phone now. But think about the marketing power that this phone could have, if/when they advertise it to have hundreds of programs ready.

My guess would be; the last week of the month earliest... Let the waiting begin =(

Meanwhile; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHSZfhY25Jc Quake III Arena on Nokia N900 for those who haven't seen it yet...

nobody have the Official latest one the 300 that was sent out was pre-production models and everyone still love the phone. Grant it, the phone will have simple bugs but i doubt to the extent of your phone blowing up.

Zane,

Amazon already has all the N900's on hand in their Phoenix warehouses. They can't ship until the release date which hasn't been set yet but we are all expecting to be like sometime in the next 7-10 days. A "Nokia" rep will tell you that so you place your order with them instead of anyone else.

I'm smelling an Ocean's 11-style caper, the likes of which would make George Clooney proud (f*** Brad Pitt).

from buy.com's help page:

Most orders go through these 4 phases: Processing - - Sent to Warehouse - - In the Shipping Process - - Shipped. Once you order, we carefully check to make sure you're the person using your credit card or gift certificate.

While we're doing this, or if we're waiting for you to send in other forms of payment, your order is Processing. You can cancel your order within the first 15 minutes of processing.

Once we have verified your payment, your order is Sent to Warehouse to be fulfilled.

An item that is In the Shipping Process cannot be cancelled because it is being picked from the shelves, packaged, and stacked on the loading dock.

If your item is in stock, your order will be Shipped within 1 to 2 business days.

my order is not even 2 hours old yet: 13Oct.2009 @ 11:10 AM (EST or -5GMT)

Here's my conversation with a Nokia Rep:

Lester: Hello, welcome to Nokia. I am a Nokia Sales Representative, may I assist you finding a device today?
You: Hello, Lester. I'm just checking in to see the status of my N900 preorder. Has there been any updates on the release date?
Lester: It will be available at the end of the month.
You: Ok...thank you

I'm surprised you haven't called them for confirmation yet! I'd be pretty twitchy if I were you!
