Nokia N900 launch delayed
The N900 has had its on-sale date knocked back by a week due to “unprecedented demand”. The Maemo-wielding tablet will now only appear on the high street on 4 December so Nokia can fulfil higher-than-expected pre-orders on launch day as planned. Read on for the latest news…
The Nokia N900 delay might be good news for anyone who has pre-ordered, although Nokia isn’t guaranteeing that delaying the general release will cover pre-order stocks. Instead, it says handsets will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis to make sure those that ordered first have the highest chance of seeing an N900-shaped present scooting through their mailbox.

Nokia has stage-managed the build-up to the N900’s release well – too well, it seems – and thousands of Nokia die-hards will have to wait that little bit longer for the portable computing marvel.
The N900 is the first Nokia to run the Maemo 5 operating system. It features a 3.5in touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard and 32GB of memory, and goes on sale for £499 SIM-free.
