Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody else had any trouble confirming their order on the website. I keep getting 'not been authorised....please use another card'. Rang up m.p.d and they said make sure your address is correct to the one your bank is registered to...which ive done. My bank is abbey and they do not add the county to system so the guy i spoke to said that this might be the problem. Ive tried yorkshire, west yorkshire, w yorkshire, yorkshire and humber lol.

Has anybody else with abbey had trouble confirming there order. I really dont want to wait till jan to get my n900 :(

Hi all, newbie here. Placed my order last Sunday and the status us still "New (other)". Does anyone know if this is normal? (I guess Other = Sim Only which is what I ordered). Anyone had these shipped yet? I can see contract ones being sent out...

I cannot contact anyone from NokiaRetail/MPD.

Hi guys.

Just an update. Everything is going OK here. I am planning to test if everything is OK by unifying the two partitions FAT (28GB) + ext3 (2GB) in one ext3 partition and use a 8GB VFAT MicroSD for photos. I will try that over the next few days, and if OK and if people are interested how to do that, let me know.

BTW, I tried the vodafone network on data usage first time today (got connected yesterday and till then I was using my Wifi). The only available signal I get when I am in 3G mode is "Vodafone Internet GPRS". As soon as I connect to that, the 3G changes to 3.5G.

Is the "Vodafone Internet GPRS" the only network for data usage or there is another one which is faster?

Cheers

Don't use web chat. Contact them by phone, I phoned at 10.30 am on thurs 10th Dec and after 2 tries got a guy who gave me returns auth over the phone straight away with no issues after i explained the problem.

He explained they will have to replicate the fault, so if your having specific issues you'll need to include a note/letter stating how the fault occurs (My sceen was broken, the note read "Turn It On!")

I've heard the web chat is unreliable and sometime drops parts of conversation.

They are now saying I should get my replacement today ( Didn't get it :( ) or tomorrow 16th.


@ ddracopo :

Yes thats the correct one. Im having to use the voda sim in my old n96 as per faulty phone and i'm actually surprised at the speed. Faster than the 3 network where I am. Also 3.5G is equivalent to HSDPA is it not? High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm not happy with MPD, I ordered the N900 on a T-Mobile contract in september, and they pre-approved the contract, but then a week ago they said there was a problem with it. After many emails and attempted phone calls I finally got through to them today, and they said it is probably a problem with my cardholder address which they need to verify. However it's impossible for them to do it over the phone, and I should go into a store two hours away to prove that I live in my house. In actual fact the store can't do anything with T-mobile contracts, even ones which were ordered when they were available. When I phoned them back about that he actually told me that it was 'news to him', and sounded surprised when he confirmed it in about 10 seconds on the computer. At every juncture they have kindly offered me a change to vodafone, which is £70 more expensive. At this point I'd rather eat my money than give it to them.

So, does anyone know where else it's available? Do any of those nokia store codes still work?

Vodafone Internet GPRS is fine for me, getting great download speeds in 3.5g areas :)

utter rubbish in 2g, but that is to be expected :)

Looks like this thread is slowly dying out :) - MPD should have a few spares by now?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
