Anyone received their N96 from Amazon? Why wait until the day of to tell me there's a delay when they probably obviously knew it was going to ship out like a week ago???

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)

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered.Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

Looks like we are all recieveing conflicting information from the Amazon reps... I was told that it should be shipping tonight, with a delivery date of tomorrow... I guess we will see. If I had known that there was going to be extra processing time I would have just gone with Newegg!

Hee hee. I know how you feel, I watched pleo with a Dec 18 ship date for a couple weeks while I shopped around seeing if I could find one for less that was immediately available. Over a week before the ship time, I ordered, then called on the 18th asking some VERY NICE (but not particularly knowledgable) CSR in India who told me it would arrive on the 19th as scheduled. I called back that day (the 19th), and they said "I'm still vely soory sire, but the day is not yet concluded, if you do not receive it today, you may check on why this is exactly so tomorrow." Then I found out folks who ordered from Amazon after me, INCLUDING the day before, got theirs the next day. Anyway, etoys came through with a free 3-foot stocking and free overnight shipping. Back to the "Hee - hee" -- I'm pretty darn sure that Mr. B had nothing to do with it. In fact, as a customer with hundreds and hundreds of purchases from his interesting and innovative product-delivery system, this is the very first time Amazon hasn't MORE THAN exceeded my expectations. I would guess that the anticipated quantity was not sent by Ugobe to Amazon. Hey, maybe etoys got Amazon's delivery instead of them! And yeah, Best Buy's pretty good too. But it's about 1 purchase to every 20 that I make on Amazon.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

Me Too! Same one, N53SV-XE1. Bought mine on 3/30/3011. But it hasn't shipped yet. And the site says the product is NOW unavailable... I really hope they can make it happen, I can't find it for the same price ANYWHERE!

I think this thread is now stale. Both of these phones can be obtained. Or I should say that when I looked on Sunday night, 12/6/09, the E72 was suddenly available for the cart (vs. Pre-order like before). After scouring the Internet for reviews, especially any that might warn me off, I decided to go for it and ordered one. That was very early 12/7. Amazon sent notice early today (12/8) to confirm that my new E72 had been shipped (via USPS). Strangely, 24 hours later Amazon's E72 availability status had reverted back to Pre-order. *However* just below, in More Buying Choices, alternate vendors are still shown that seemingly carry the E72 in stock. Even Nokia itself is selling these handsets, the same place where under two weeks ago NokiaUSA.com didn't even refer to the E72 as a product. At this point there's lots of ways to get an E72 or N97 - go look!

Ordered it on saturday. Thought it was going to ship out today (monday). Called them, and they told me it was not in stock, and they were getting them in on Wednesday. I canceled the order. I will wait for Amazon to get them in.

got it in 7 days? that's good. too bad I ordered on sept 7th (came out on the 6th, I waited for the rebate to actually show up) and it hasn't even been recognized by amazon yet. hopefully i'll have it sometime next week or the week after that. I woulda got it from apple, but I save 270 bucks thru amazon.

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.

Gotta bite the bullet and wait buddy. Special edition is commissioned to be sold only from amazon...so gotta wait. Hopefully they will be back soon ..sooner than the two months they state, I hope. I could not make up my mind and lost my chance; but, now I know I do not like the n110. Its rounded edges near(the palm rest) make it look babyish and cheap. Good luck to us!!!

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

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

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Hopefully Amazon sent me what I ordered. I'll find out Monday when I get it. At one time it was stated that they were in stock which was later changed to not yet released. All I know is that Laptop Magazine had one over a week ago for testing and supposedly Amazon has shipped one to me.

Thanks, I saw a UK post on a site mentioning a delay of 2-6 weeks from Amazon UK and wanted to see if there were any USA updates. I appreciate the information.
