Nokia N900 not coming until some time in November

We've just heard some pretty sour news. Peter Schneider, head of Maemo marketing, has waxed official about the N900's release and quite casually noted that it'll "start shipping during November 2009," which as you very well know is a whole month later than originally expected. An interesting tidbit to his post is that he notes Nokia had lent out 300 pre-production units to the community, and he stresses the importance Nokia places on the feedback received. Connecting the dots might suggest that feedback wasn't quite as hot as Espoo had hoped, and a few last-minute refinements are now being applied. Either way, you're gonna have to refill your patience for potentially another month of waiting.

Does that mean it won´t take years until it gets an MMS feature?

If they fix the onboard storage issue where they only have 256 MB to install all 3rd party apps and open it up to all the GB of internal storage that would be perfect.

no wait... that's the palm pre.

That's been fixed for while now. Only the early preview units had that limit. Now it's 2GB by default.
