This is probably all very stupid and I'll be lynched but it may be worth keeping track of when people ordered their N97 from Nokia UK and when it gets charged, shipped and finally delivered.
With the release on the 19th (two days away), Nokia are running out of time to reach their own deadline advised on their blog.
So I'll start.
Pre-ordered 13th June 2009 at 5.43pm BST
Awaiting Charge, Delivery, Shipping
I would imagine everyone else is in the same boat. I would hope to see some activity today or tomorrow. Friday at the latest.
Let me know if you ordered from anywhere else - such as Expansys - and whether you get your phone on the 19th.

If Nokia don't take the funds today the phone won't be arriving on friday .

Yep, my thoughts aswel.
I go on holiday on the 26th so i hope it arrives at least a few days before then.
Just got this email from Nokia UK:
Dear Customer,The item below is now in stock and this portion of your order has been released for processing. If the quantity below isn't the total quantity ordered then the remaining quantity will be released when additional stock is available.

Positive sign I guess.
I pre-orederd on the 21st May.
I've just got the same email as well.
I've just received the same email as Shwaa. I pre-ordered the black one on the 23rd May, just two days after Shwaa.
Things are looking up, people 😃
I should of said that i ordered mine on the 30/6/09
Well at least something is happening which is really positive news. Just damn frustrating that Nokia couldn't be asked to be a little bit more open with their customers.
Allmine - do you mean 30/06/09 or 30/05/09?
Incidentally, those who have had confirmations, did you order the white or black?
Cheers
Simon
Edit:
PS I have not had anything. But I wasn't necessarily expecting to. At least not yet. Fair play that those who ordered theirs first get the confirmation email first.
Sorry i was to excited to type . I meant 30/5 /09 and i ordered the black version
ordered mine yesterday (16th june), got same email today and got call from credit card company, making sure payment to nokia is legitimate. Surely they will post tomorrow to arrive on friday

Please forgive me spirit44 if I don't instantly believe this. You only joined up today and this is your first post. I'll wait until I check my bank statement when I get home from work to verify this, but I hope you're right 😊
It's official they have taken the funds.

Lol. I have been monitoring forum for a while, but was so excited to get email and then phone call, had to join and post. I'm just hoping all the negative stuff about the n97 is not true. But the fear led me to cancel my order with another company and go direct with nokia, so that i get the 14 day cooling off period without any hassle. Also got 15% cashback with quidco, so went for it
I might have to phone up later in the day to complain that the orders are not being handled in order if an order yesterday beats mine from Saturday.
Presume either it's been mishandled, or they have no white ones in.
Either way, Im calling.

Same here, email received and the charge reserved on my bank account; mine is a black one ordered on the 25th.
Got a email from Nokia 2 hours ago saying that its shipped. I chose the express delivery so hopefully it will arrive in a day or two. 😊
Has anyone else's shipped yet?
thats good news, i've got nothing about shipping yet. Is yours black or white? When did you order it?
I ordered Black on the 21st May.
Shwaa wrote:I ordered Black on the 21st May.
I ordered the Black one too, only two days after you. There were probably quite a lot of pre-orders in that week in May though, but hopefully this means I'll receive the email as well very soon. 😃
I hear a rumour, that you can use your order number and add "-01" on the end if they've shipped by UPS as your tracking number.
Meaning, you *may* (not guaranteed) get information before you get the email from Nokia.
Well I wasn't going to order one but finally gave in and ordered it. I wasn't expecting miracles seeing as I've just ordered it but the email reply states:
Nokia UK Online Shop
Order Information
Order #: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Order Date: 17-6-2009
Anticipated Ship Date: 3 to 4 weeks
So it appears that their entire stock has gone. Ho hum.

Not necessarily. I think sjdean discovered a few days ago that this was a generic email that they're sending out to everyone who Pre-ordered the N97, regardless of whether you ordered it four weeks ago or today.

Hmmm. Dare I get my hopes up? 😉
No. Not yet. You probably have a week of torture left as Nokia seem reluctant to give you any information or commit to anything (seems they don't know their own stock, their own systems, and are incapable of any forward thinking or planning or even advising customers on potential dates).
You'll find out when they ship it.
bowman wrote:Hmmm. Dare I get my hopes up? 😉
It might not take 3-4 weeks, but you may be in for a little bit of a wait. Those of us who ordered 4 weeks ago are only just now starting to get a sniff of the possibility of them being shipped very soon. There's been no confirmation yet, that it has in fact been shipped, from any regular posters on these forums at the moment. I hope these numbers will rise over the coming couple of days.
That's what I figured. But then I have always been a pessimist. At least that way you're never disappointed.

I've always found that. If I'm negative about something when I wanted to be positive about it, it's always nice to be corrected 😊

I've just tried this, and the UPS (UK) site gave me the message "
Not all tracking information is available at this time. Please try again later."
However, if I put in my order number without the "-01" it said "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later.".
So maybe this rumour is true, I don't know. Since I wasn't given any details, my first attempt could've been for someone else's package entirely.
