I've pre-ordered and all it says on the order is:

"This order has not shipped", not particularly helpful.

I am hoping that it will ship 1st October (naturally I'm hoping it will ship before, ideally today - but I was hoping the n900 was out last year - eternal optimist)

Just tried phoning the helpline but got bored waiting for call to be answered

I've also just done my pre-order. The nearest I've seen to a date is actually on the Expansys site which says expected 19th October. I'm hoping that coming direct from Nokia will be sooner than that.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

Don't do this to me (and the people around me which are already suffering enough!)

It's going to be super awesome if we're all carrying N800s and N810s to the Summit. Have fun talking about Harmattan, Nokia, when we're still on Diablo.

+1 for your very sane suggestion. The segmentation of 3G technology at all levels of the mobile value chain (OEM's, carriers, retailers) has been rife w/ mis/dis-information for years. "Will this work on my carrier?", "Does this phone have 1700mhz or 1900mhz?", "What if I travel overseas with it?"

Most recent example of this (and relevant to this N900 thread): I rang T-Mo last week just before buying an N900: The Tier3 tech support guy hadn't heard of the N900 but said it needed "1.9gigaherz" to be compatible w/ T-Mo US 3G. When I shared the N900 3G freqs, he check w/ his manager and reported back that the N900 likely has "European 3G" and wouldn't work in the US. When I repeated again the N900 had 1700mhz/2100mhz just like T-Mo US, he checked again with his supervisor. "Yeah, but that's European 2100mhz" he said. "Not American 2100mhz..." What's the difference? He couldn't say. I suspect there isn't one, and he (and his boss) were simply FUD'ing about a 'foreign' device.

Quad-band GSM phones have been around for a while now, why can't OEM's just make 'quad-band' 3G phone and eliminate all the confusion?

And for the record, I've been w/ T-Mo/DeutscheTelekom for over a decade and almost always bring my own phone. When T-Mo established a separate tech support team to help customers w/ non-T-Mo phones, support really improved (for me). I'm curious if Sprint/Verizon/AT&T provide similar support?

Probably overwhelmed with preorders. Nokia when are you going to take Maemo seriously!
