Ah a bit of lady empathy for a phone.

I see it as a bunch of circuits ready for my command ;-)

I had the whole forum refering to him as Biscuit. The n95 got named, (Godot because of the nokia delays..) but never really had the personality of Biscuit. My current device is 'That damned phone'.

I suspect n900 will be named Mo (as in My Mo) but I'll have to wait till I meet him. I'm still worried he might be travel sick after all that journey.

Well you just gave out information under the name of Nokia Retail again. If I was really an employee of Nokia Retail Store and wanted to stay like that I wouldn't be giving out such information

You can usually get some sort of validity without name dropping with good information. When it gets to name dropping stage then are the intentions to help or to bolster ego/presence.

virgin mobile are doing £5 /1gb monthly bundles on PAYG. sms "BUY DATA" to 789789. see?

My intention was to help, nothing else. You are all right, I should not of put my name down(which I didnt know posts would come this far). I could loose my job, I wasnt thinking about getting attention or calls to my workplace.

I had the strangest day at work today. We had too many phone calls about N900 and the forum. I am one of the two Steve's at work, other Steve works at the counter. We have been asked if we "released" any information out. I was trying to remove question marks on peoples head. We have got yelled at because apparently one of us gave information under the name of "Nokia Retail" which was not true. In every single post I did not use Retail Stores name particularly as a reference. Now everything is ok. But please do not call in and ask for me or do not say Steve said this, Steve said that. Even a guy came to find me to thank ( I know because he was saying if he is real and telling the truth I want to thank him personally), but we had to say someone is lying under using our name.

Thank you guys for defending me.

For those who does not believe me, just wait and see. As I said I am not sure about T-Mobile Vodafone thing, we will see. But no one is getting their phone from Nokia Retail this week.


Steve, (Nearly the ex) G. Nokia Retail Store worker.

A few things to say about this

First of all - A big thank you for the help you have tried to give - it really is appreciated, Im apologising for the trouble it got you in and glad you are OK now

Secondly - in fairness to the muppet who rang and outed you, didn't you put your name and number in one of your posts? It doesn't excuse what happened, but it probably didn't help you...

Anyway, most people really are grateful for the assistance you have tried to give..

With regards to MPD, maybe you can feed back some of the comments from places like this to the management, because communications really haven't been that good, the delays might not be MPD's fault, but they could have communicated things better and reduced the endless queries the staff have no doubt had to deal with, which were caused by lack of information

Anyway thanks again

Thanks a lot. I didn't say anything about anyone in the first place anyway, Yes it was my fault to put my name down, but i hope people could be more cautious about giving my name, I didnt say "dont" so basically it is my fault. But I dont like to hear any dissing while I am only trying to help.

Edit! One last refresh and yes! N900 is safe and well in the UK. I wonder how he feels to be on British soil. Do you think UPS will give him a cup of tea in the arrivals lounge?

(And more importantly, will they stick him on a truck heading southwest pronto?)
