i won't cancel though, i need the hardware keyboard, and more importantly i need a good device now

i'll just buy the hd2 for my mom, it's probably more user friendly

Look at the tags! "zebra rape"
I think somebody should email Nokia a link to this thread. After seeing how sick people became coz of waiting and not knowing the actual release date, they'll release it in a couple of hours.

"anal warts" & "zebra rape" - guilty as charged

I'm going to sue Nokia for the decline in my mental health

Just to post it up here...

Amazon.co.uk now says released 2nd November

Sheeesh

CNET just announced that the Nokia Booklet is available in stores on October 22nd...

Hello,

Looking into your order, I see that " Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touch Screen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty " has not yet been released. I'm sorry about this delay-we certainly didn't expect that this would happen.

We normally obtain this item from a supplier who can usually send it to us within 2 to 3 weeks from the time your order is placed; however, in this case, the supplier has taken longer than expected to respond to us.

We sent an e-mail notification as soon as we learned from our supplier that the status of this item had changed. Unfortunately, our reliance on suppliers and manufacturers for information about their stock means that, occasionally, our database will not reflect all changes.

However, I see that the current estimated ship and delivery date for your order is:

Estimated Ship Date: Dec 7, 2009
Estimated Delivery Date: Dec 18, 2009

Since we have several fulfillment centers across the U.S., the items in your order may sometimes be in stock at different locations. When you place your order, we estimate your ship date based on three factors

1. The proximity of your items to the delivery address you provide
2. How quickly we can obtain the items from suppliers if that is required
3. How quickly we can assemble items for shipment

Also, please note that for most shipping methods, items that are ordered on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday may not ship out until the following Monday.

If you'd rather cancel your order, I understand. You may cancel unshipped item online by following these steps and I would like to request you please return to our website and place a new order by choosing our third party seller who is having this item currently "Instock".

1. Click the "Your Account" link at the top of our web site.
2. Click the link that says "Cancel orders."
3. Sign in with your e-mail address and password.
4. Click the "View or change order" button on the relevant order.
5. Click the button that says "Need to cancel an item?"
6. Click the checkbox next to "Cancel 1 item" for any items you'd
like to cancel.
7. Click the "Cancel checked items" button.

You'll receive an e-mail confirmation of your cancellation.

Otherwise, we will ship as soon as we receive from our supplier.

If you haven't received a shipment confirmation by Dec 7, 2009, let us know by visiting the URL below:

In addition to our large selection, one of the benefits we'd like to offer our customers is convenience, and we have not met that standard in this case. Please accept our sincere apologies.

We appreciate your business and hope that you will give us the chance to serve you again in the near future.

Mother fsckers!

Anyways, this does hold with the theory a dozen pages back that Amazon is just giving estimated dates that are 2 months out (aligns with when I preordered in October). Hopefully this is a lie and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

PS

The tags stopped being funny.

if the December release date it true, this ruins a big reason for me getting this phone ASAP, I wanted this phone because it was coming out so soon. By the time december comes the hd2 will be out in europe and other high end phones will soon follow by january.

December 7-18th? *FACEPALM*

and especially now the hd2 looks t-mobile bound. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...-mobile-bound/

Just an interesting sports headline ....................
