Well that sucks. I was hoping O2 would have it in a week or two, but if even regular stores aren't going to have it until January, O2 probably won't have it until summer

He says only pre-order and online retailers will have the phones for shipment till then. I think this is really messed up. Could this be true? Could Nokia really miss the Christmas sales season for retail sales?
What even sucks more is that I have a 600 buck credit (returned N97) at this retailer and he will not pre-order for me through the Nokia site because they will not make any profit on it. AAHhhhhhh!!!!

I don't even think 20% of the popularity know about this device, apart from a few advertisements in mobile shops or the "nerds" who are all over it. hmm
Not much mention from the media.
I'll give BBC Click an email for them to check out the device.

20%? That's a pretty good knowledge base for a product that is not even on the market yet! I'd say less than 1% of all mobile phone users in the US know that the n900 exists.

When Nokia says not for the general consumer, they're not necessarily saying a small user base. Maybe not iPhone sales numbers, but I could imagine it doing as well as some of the other phones released recently.

I guess from Nokia products N95 would be the closest thing to N900. It was competing with iphone, lots of hype around the web and 700 euros price. In the end it sold +15 million, but never got to the point that it appeared in main media like iphone.
Would love to see N900 hitting E71 like sales numbers just to get more people up to the platform and make sure Nokia puts it's money behind Maemo. 6300 like +22 million sales would be okish to prove the point too
What even sucks more is that I have a 600 buck credit (returned N97) at this retailer and he will not pre-order for me through the Nokia site because they will not make any profit on it. AAHhhhhhh!!!!
