Anyone else saw this?

http://www.branedy.net/?p=1324

I’m saddened and disappointed to report that Amazon has reported another Nokia N900 shipping delay.

“Nokia N900 Mobile Computer with Maemo 5 Software”
Estimated arrival date: December 03 2009 – December 09 2009

That places the Nokia N900 dangerously close to a Vaporware classification. And moves the Nokia release date to the very end of November, rather than the early or middle of the month as was hoped. This is a bad move, one that put’s it’s release AFTER the Motorola Droid and all the other Android handsets. It makes the Nokia an Also Ran handset Maker, a Me Too! in a marketplace soon to have a large number of failed and marginalized handsets.

The post is accurate, Amazon UK did move their date to the end of the month. They've also removed the device from showing up in search results and you can no longer preorder it.

I dont like the look of this.

Amazon are either mis-informed or Nokia are lying.

Neither of those need to be true. Even if the N900 starts shipping next week we have to work through the joke that is "Nokia store exclusive" and then "Select Markets" before people can actually buy the thing. Depending on where you are and who you ordered it from you could get it next week or you could get it in 2010. Who knows? Certainly Nokia aren't saying.

Most likely Nokia will make a press release next Monday saying it's "released".

I think Nokia is trying very hard but Peter said during November so that mean it can go November 30 at midnight to start shipping a very little first batch and the rest in December. One guy that posted here earlier went to Chicago Nokia meeting 2 days ago and they said ''trying very hard in November but definitivly before year end'' I think I don't know what to think....

So what if its delayed again. Even though Peter says nov. It's no like he's the project manager of this product. I think he's far away from being in the core of the development of this product.

What we could wish for is for Peter to comment on the release dates all the different nokia shops (and other shops) has announced (and actually not announced). But to be honest, i don't think he knows.

Say for example the product manager of this product + a couple of other project leaders working close to him who knows.
