Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

do you know what sort of quatity MPD are expecting of friday?

how many preorder MPD have?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

What pre-order period would these batches cover roughly, do you know? Mine was placed 20/10, you reckon which batch is likely to cover this?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thats good news:) I ordered on the 6th October, I hope I made the first batch. MPD also gave me a second credit check over the weekend, so here's hoping:)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Don't apologise! I don't think the vast majority of us thought you were ever trying to mislead us. Welcome to our lovely MPD related thread by the way!

Again - thanks for trying to shed some light on the whole situation. Won't hold it against you if things cock up again as this all stems from Nokia and MPD head office at the end of the day!

Do you know roughly what dates fit in to which batches? E.g. 9th/10th October - 1st or 2nd batch?

EDIT: Whilst typing, other people asked these exact same things!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I am not sure about the quantity, September- Mid October will be there first batches, Mid October- Mid November will be the second and the rest will be the third one. I am guessing we will need more stock for the third batches but the rest is covered.

Steve.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Whoop 8th October sounding good then! And I had the second credit check :-)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Would still help if MPD as a company sent out an official email with some information - as for the moment - the only official info i have is 3rd/4th from MPD - but i did order in sept :) - so crossing fingers!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Steve - you really are an asset to MPD - its a shame we can't really ring up and sing your praises...

I reckon 10th October juuuust about counts as early October right? I mean... that's just about the first third, so can't really be in the middle... *prays*. To be fair, so long as some start getting shipped, then I'll know mine is on its way so I'll be happy :-)

Out of curiosity - how can MPD not have known when they were coming? A few of us were chatting about tracking numbers - you obviously might not know, but just wondered why they couldn't have just tracked it and told us! Lol.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Would you trust it? xD

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Not even with my half dead N95

Thanks Steve.
Unfortunately I am right on the cusp as they say- 16th will no doubt (knowing my luck) fall in the second half. Boo Hoo

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

22 September for me so well and truely in the first batch, not sure if i believe it will be in my hands soon though, i think friday will come and it will be delayed again with an email informing us on monday/tuesday!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

30? And the rest. They didn't even have mobile's when I was 16.....

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well I'm so old I'm not even sure I'll still be alive when mine's delivered.:rolleyes:

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I reckon this thread will hit the 1000 before we get them.

Well it will if i have anything to do with it :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

this is getting beyond a joke,HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GOING TO DELAY THIS PHONE!! Who on earth is in charge down there..... mickey mouse?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks Steve. Do you have any rough idea on how many pre-orders have been made through MPD?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

someone who went in regent street earlier mentioned around 700, with 200 per batch?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Looks like im firmly in the second batch then with my 8th nov order. :(
Well then again i dont mind as much in one respect cos hopefully they'll be less chance of getting one of those dead mics in one of the later batches

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I wonder where a 17th october order will stand?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Same place as mine (16th) in the second batch probably unfortunately.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

OooOoO you beat me to it ha!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hah I'm 15th October. Which is also my mum's birthday. That has to count for something right?:)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm 21st October, so probably the second batch....

I wonder whether it's worth demanding some kind of reparation/compensation for the runaround we've been given. I know that a stereo bluetooth headset, an extra battery or some speakers would go a little way to calming my anger with MPD (not completely you understand, just a little bit) ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

haha- yeah like mine counted for something yesterday.. hopefully your Mum has good luck :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

this 3 batch business is bullscrap from mpd

im sure they have promised us that they would have enough stock to cover all pre-orders, at the time they were saying about 500 preorders placed with delivery of about 700 handsets, and now they saying 3 batches of about 200 - how can they get away with this crap,

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yes, I remember them virtually laughing at me way back in October when I phoned them about my order and questioned whether they would have enough phones to cover the pre-orders..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Everyone is complaning about this but surley it would be impossible for them to handle so many phones at one time.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i'm still crossing my fingers for this week, i ordered on 30/10 and was told when i visited southampton (mpd) and winchester (nokia retail) stores this weekend that i should have it this week, i'll probably not get it that quick but being hopeful (otherwise will go back friday pm for another go on the n900 they have instore to keep me happy for another week)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think they'rs ignoring me...

4 emails = no reply
phone keeps ringing out
i cant even find webchat on the site

ordered on 18th Nov, so they prob aren't interested in me right now anyway.

I prob wont get mine till next year :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

All i get off my wife is whens your phone coming? is it coming this year? why do you keep saying next week? Why have you ordered a screen protector when you dont have it? Is it coming this week?
I dont seem to have a lot of luck with phones, im on my sixth, yes SIXTH Xperia, and the keyboard is almost dead on this one :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

That is really annoying, they should give us Saturday delivery by way of an apology. In fact, if I could change my order I would be tempted to PAY for Saturday delivery because my current phone is killing me.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

keep your spirits up :) sure it won't be that long!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

me too, using some old samsung flip fone :(

even though i'm on this thread and have ordered from MPD still don't feel like an "MPD customer",
customers usually pay money and get something in return, MPD won't take my money or give me anything :rolleyes:

still being hopeful tho :D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i agree i ordered the 21st and still no toy :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just checked email and got this:


Likelyhood of them posting anything??

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I just got this in my email from MPD regarding my order.

" We will proceed with the order once stock arrives (this is due at the end of next week).

Firstly they tell us that stock will arrive this week, and now they have the cheek to say it's next week! Is this wild goose chase ever going to end?

I have a HTC HD2 coming in the next few days and if I am satisfied with it then I might cancel my order. Extremely poor customer service if you ask me.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

First post, and a question for y'all...I've got one of these elusive devices on pre-order/reserve with MPD since the 21st Nov (left my phone number with a guy on the webchat to add me to the "queue")...however I wonder if any of the Nokia retail stores will hold stock back for walk-ins? I called one and they said they would, but another said the opposite.

What do you think? I haven't actually committed any money to them yet and just giving my phone number for a callback "hen they're in stock" sounds a bit dubious anyway, so if a store has stock on Friday I would be happy to nip in and pick one up!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I ordered on the 17th Nov

I've not had ANY email since whilst some of you are getting all sorts of stuff,

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. My order tracking is showing pending as everyone else. TBH I'm in no major rush, I've an e90 now and my current contract runs out 24th Dec but if it runs another week or so it won't kill me..... lets be honest there is far more crap happening in the world than us not getting our new toys!

I've not chased MPD as TBH there comes a point when all the chasing does nothing but stop people actually doing there job. We can all shout and scream till the cows come home, it won't make it arrive any quicker... let teh guys get on with teir jobs and we have a chance of it getting here a little earlier. OK, MPD could have done a little better but hey, show me a webtailer that doesn;t have issues with high desireable, low availability kit

there comes a certain amount of pain being an early adopter, get used to it, accept the things you can't change and change the things you can.


I spent nearly 12 months waiting for stuff to be ported from S60 V2 to V3 when I got my N80, learn patience and work with people rather than against them and you will feel much much better inside yourself...

remember , 9 months down teh line your memories will be of a superb piece of kit, not the pain of getting it

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Sounds good ordered 2nd of Oct!! :D:D:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

hang on... now i'm really confused. question was:

is there a reason i'm missing why someone would choose sim-free over contract?

answer (i think) was:

because contract is better value for money.

please tell me i've not lost the plot. :D
