Anyone received their N96 from Amazon? After preordering over a month in advance, and Amazon's supposed Oct. 6th release date, on the day that my phone was supposed to be delivered (Oct 8th) they tell me theres gonna be a delay.

FWIW the current product status page shows a 'real' shipping/in-stock date of 10/26! Although ... as I understand it, price fluctuations are only honored if the pre-order was made 30 or less days prior to the ship date. That said, Amazon does seem to have a fair price on this device, assuming it's the US-3G version!And I'm personally waiting for the N85 myself, but might end up being tempted to get this N96 if the N85 continues to be delayed (US version)

Well good thing is that Best Buys is now selling N96's but for the price of 800not 705 like amazon is rite nowthis whole pre-ordering deal is complete BS i bought two when the price was like 732then cancelled it to get the decreased priceand now AGAIN its lowered i think its gotten out of hand, amazon shud automatically charge us lessand completely random question, does the sandisk's 16gb microsd work with N96? andis the 16gb micro sd the highest card for the N96??

There's a lot of people having good 3G reception with the Euro version of the N85. Only reason to wait for the Us version is to get a warranty.

How could a Euro version phone work in US in terms of 3G, please educate me:)Thanksshishinn

S. Sun: If you are responding to Al, he was talking about the N85 (not the N96). The N85 has tri-band UMTS, and comes in these two flavors: N85-1 900/2100 MHz for Europe/Asia + 1900 MHz for roaming in North America N85-2 850/1900 MHz for North America (not T-Mobile) + 2100 MHz for roaming abroadDepending on where you are, AT&T; may use either the 850 or 1900 MHz band for 3G, and the international flavor of the N85 (N85-1) may still get US 3G reception.

i just receveived a phonecall from nokia today. it is available at there stores for about $785.99 plus or minus plus tax. i assume the latest dates prices are a bit more accurate this time

I ordered it from another seller after Amazon never gave me an exact date for delivering it. This phone is probably better than any HTC PHONE! If you are going to dish out more than $600.00, then get the Nokia N96! It is a better phone, and a total package. I'm tired and sicked of the windows mobile, this one is symbian s60 OS.

I pre-ordered 4 N96's, never got it, even the price going down cheaper, so i cancelled my order and made a new one, again, even we dont know if the price for the time become available will be cheaper?. Amazon Pre-order program is a mess

May I ask where you ended up getting your phone and is it the US 3G version? If so I'd like to ditch Amazon and get it from there

That USED to be the case with preorders on Amazon (arriving on release day). However, at least in my experiences that last few years, they seem to just ship them on release day. They want you to pay for the faster shipping options. If you choose standard or free shipping I don't think you'll get it on release day. Choose a faster method and you should.

I placed mine on 6t of Oct. I used the "contact us by phone" link where i put in my phone number and amazon called me. They told me no such option exists (where they redirect to another warehouse). Is there a different number i can call?

I talked to an Amazon rep who just confused the issue more. My order still says that the expected delivery date is October 29th. The Amazon rep said that there aren't any in stock and that they won't be shipping today. When I asked him when it WOULD ship, he said that my estimated delivery date was October 29th. When I pointed out that this couldn't possibly be accurate given what he had just said, he responded with, "the time is given to you is accurately calculated by the packaging department.So I assure you that you will get it on time." UPDATE: Sure enough, this morning I got an email saying, "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered..." so, no, they weren't shipping any of these out on Friday. I guess we all just get to wait it out now.

Hi Salvador, if you buy from my Amazon store and pay for Expedited Shipping you will most likely receive the phone on the 18th. Happy shopping!

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now. Hopefully they will start shipping soon. Edit: Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed. In stock at Buy.com, J&R, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

I know! I'm getting really frustrated myself. It makes me question if I should ever pre-order from amazon again? They don't update you on anything!

I expect mine to shipped today! I ordered on March 17th, and the webpage says they have 2 left in stock, which I assume already accountsfor all the preorders being filled. I need to pester them again and get a clearer idea. My shipping estimate says May 10th, which is unacceptable. I have 2 day shipping on this.

The Sept 1 press release for this product said Oct 2 release date (which was when the pre-order finally showed up on Amazon). I contacted Samsung on Oct 2, and they said "Early October" release. They couldn't give me any more details, so I guess we can expect this within two weeks. I felt "hinted" that we'd know something more definitive by Oct 5, although the sales rep couldn't say much. No word on the included accessories either, and even some of Amazon's specs for the different models don't line up with what Samsung originally announced in the press release. I hope this gets straightened out soon.

i was wonderin too. I partially checked out the ipod touch and it said delivery for one day is around the 15th which is like next week. can someone confirm this? it seems a little odd unless theyre expecting it to be backordered.

Although incredible, I think it's just you! I remember reading this somewhere before - others posted in a forum that Amazon doesn't give priority to the pre-orders, instead if you do what you did (cancel/re-order) its actually better. I just can't really believe that though... whats the point of pre-ordering then?!

My Best Buy pre-order shows a release date of 10/25 so I wouldn't expect Amazon to be much faster. That being said, I do remember Google saying that they were available. Maybe their definition of "available" is different from ours...

I ordered one on Nov.30..I got a similar story.I`m not really in any hurry.Yea,I`d like it sooner,but no big deal.Amazon has worked out well for other purchases.I`m just hoping it works out OK.It`s always tough when you have to wait. Update: I got the same story as Steve. Would have been nice,but I`ll pick out something else.

Lucky you, I have no update to my pre order, and the item is showing out of stock. I am seriously not impressed with Amazon's lack of communication.

I'm Prime too and it shipped the day I ordered it and was delivered the next. I did not see the 1-4 week warning when I ordered it though. Good phone.

I ended up cancelling my pre-order on Amazon and ordering on Newegg (same price; free shipping) earlier today. Status of my order: shipped. Sorry, Amazon. You're still showing this item on pre-order, so I went where my money will actually buy a computer, not just the promise of one some day in the unspecified future. In the end, it might be that my order from Amazon would have arrived on the same day. However, I prefer the certainty of knowing my computer is already on the way from Newegg versus the uncertainty of "pre-order."

Nope. Despite ordering from Amazon on 7/4, I haven't gotten my order from them, even though third party sellers got theirs from somewhere. Amazon doesn't even seem to know when they'll get it in stock.
