Early indications were that the Nokia N900 would be in peoples hands at the beginning of October but according to Nokia.de and Amazon.co.uk, the availability date has slipped out to the end of October with Nokia.de predicting the 30th and Amazon.co.uk the 26th.

Regarding prices, in Germany the street prices are settling at a low of about 520 Euro. In the UK, where sales tax is less, the prices are closing in on the 500 Euro mark.

Regardless of consumer availability, it’s likely that we’ll get a full hands-on at the Maemo summit which kicks off in just over a week. Any readers here heading up to Amsterdam? If so, drop a note in the comments.
