Nokia has had to delay the launch of its new fancy Nokia N900 in the UK. Why is that? This time is because of the huge demand for the mobile phone, and the amount of pre-orders Nokia has received. It seems that the Nokia N900 it´s really wanted by our folks in the UK.
The Nokia N900 was due to go on sale in the UK last week, but now it looks like it won’t be available until the 4th of December, this is mainly to the fact that the demand for the handset has surprised Nokia and it has overpass their supplies.
Working on a strict first-come-first-served basis, Nokia have said that the N900 will be available in the UK from the 4th of December, giving priority to customers who have pre-ordered the Nokia N900.
Finally, the Nokia N900 will be available from Nokia’s online store as well as a range of Nokia stores in the UK for £499 without a contract.

Bad news! (Or not, it depends on the looking glass) We have to wait for the Nokia N900 a little more. How much? It´s said until November, so that would be next week. Nothing to worry about. But on Play.com says that the phone is expected to be arriving on some day around the 20 of November, no more than 3 weeks from now.
Pete Schneider, Nokia’s Head of Maemo Marketing, has since said: “We expect it to start shipping during November 2009.”. And why is this? We got nothing official from Nokia, but mobile industry watcher Caroline Gabriel says that Nokia is using the time to get more feedback from independent Maemo software developersand to fine-tune the device’s user experience prior to delivery. It seems a good idea to me.
In my opinion is worth to wait for it if this is the reason. I prefer a good working phone rather than one with some known issues. If you are more interested on this news, I recommend reading this post (click here), it has a very complete analysis!
