If you dont want to hear rumors and speculation, and potentially bad info, dont read these threads, stick to just press releases.
But he keeps on giving out wrong info. He is passing on info as though he has insde knowledge but in fact it is totally wrong

Yes, and would also be very foolish on Nokia's part. There is already a perception (right or wrong) that the product has been delayed and very little communication of the status was available. Then Nokia announce the N900 has shipped. Too many delay variables with boat bulk container deliveries (plus they are known to fall off boats every now and then )

Surely Nokia is not clueless and their marketing would have better sense to not ship by boat. Heck, we used to ship printers by air from Taiwan in order to make up for delays and avoid sell-in partners from getting ticked.

Then again, Nokia did say "Sometime in November", so they are keeping to their word in a rather obtuse manner.

I do not remember this kind of delay with the N-Gage

nuknuk is cool!

Well, just got this email from expansys (i emailed the .ro version):

Dear XXXXX,

We are selling N900 with Pan-European warranty and UK QWERTY keyboards. We
don't have delivery time for this product as unfortunately last week Nokia
and Vodafone UK signed exclusivity partnership and therefore all UK
deliveries even with EU specs has been postponed. At the moment we are
trying to source the stock from Non-UK suppliers.

Best regards

eXpansys

Not sure if that's true or not ... but seems reasonable.

This +1

Other people are doing the same, but they are also posting copies of chat or email that they have received. All the information we have is probably not worth much at the moment, but at least we are not posting bland statements and presenting them as gospel

If nuknuk has been told the 19th, then post the chat or mail saying that, or say that it was via a converstion with a nokia rep otherwise it is just spam..

I know very little about shipping therefore any ignorance I apologise.

If Nokia shipped by road to maximise profits would it not be reasonable to assume that it wouldn't be in the UK/at retailers by now? At best it would be here today no?

I'm quietly confident it'll be with me this week.

Considering the email I got from expansys that is listed in my previous post, I just took a look at MPD website:

http://www.nokiaretail.co.uk/Brands/...489/p26078.htm

and indeed, the only way the phone can be ordered is via a Vodafone offer, so the version that Vodafone closed a contract with Nokia on this phone and this causing the delays might be true ...
