Nokia N900 to be shipped this week (12-16 oct)?
Here is a transcript of a discussion posted on Talk-Maemo.org between one of the forum members and Nokia support:
Hello,
I JUST called NokiaUSA website number – 1-866-59NOKIA
Representative picked up the phone. I will basically write EXACTLY what both of us said.
I can try and call more times if wished, and check up, but this is what I got:
Rep: Hello this is ————- What can I do for you today?
Me: Hello. I’m calling to Find out information on one of your phones.
Rep: Okay, and what phone would that be?
Me: The N900. I would like to know when the phone is planning to be released?
Rep: The phone should come out on a day this week.
Me: Are you sure it’s this week?
Rep: Yes. They should be released this week.
Me: When would they be shipped?
Rep: We do not have an exact shipping date for this phone. But if you pre-ordered it, you should recieve it within the relased date of this week. We do it on a first come first serve basis.
Me: Okay. What if I pre-order the N900 tonight, will it be shipped out with 1st or 2nd batch?
Rep: You should have it when it comes out this week.
Me: Okay.
Rep: Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No thats all. Thank You.
Rep: Thank You for calling Nokia, have a great day!
Basically, HE told me it would release THIS week. Now, I am skeptical of that, all though I hope he is telling the truth.
Right now I will call again, hopefully a new representative and try to find out other…
