Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I understand what you are saying, if I did cancel, it would be to transfer my order over from MPD web to MPD NFS, as the guy said that it might be possible, based on the fact that they had promised that they would be first and I could argue that they were not..
I would check carefully before doing this though!!
Cancelling is a last option, but even if I did have to wait until the 4th, Im not losing out as MPD aren't shipping until the 3rd, so I wouldn't get it until the 4th anyway..:mad:

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

no new info sadly, keep checking my order on MPD and still getting the 'pending stock' sign. I'm still unclear exactly in what order devices are going to be shipped/sold from MPD/Nokia Retail/Nokia flagship stores. I know Nokia flagship stores are now saying 4th December for in-store purchase because they have to clear pre-orders first, but are MPD pre-orders included in those pre-orders or not. If so, we should be getting them before 4th December.

Like you, I'm beginning to get a little bored of this waiting game and obviously worried about potential hardware/software issues. I mean, can you imagine how long it would take to get a replacement from MPD if it isn't working properly? It doesn't bear thinking about..still I'm going to contact them today to find out if there's any update, but I'm not particularly hopeful. I still reckon we'll get them on December 4th or even later. God, they really are a dodgy company, if I hadn't got the T-mobile contract with them before the quota was filled I would definitely cancel my order and try and get it elsewhere..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

This +1
But Im seriously thinking of trying elsewhere anyway..

I don't think we can really hassle MPD until tomorrow, if stock arrives at the NFS, as then there will be an arguement that they are not the first...

I want to take part in the n900 threads that are springing up from the people that have got theirs...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Amen to that, at the moment I feel like I'm just an annoying whiner going on about MPD and the fact that my N900 hasn't been delivered :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

+1!

I really am getting fed up with myself now! lol - I am an annoying whiney *****!

My phone simply cannot turn up any later than mid-afternoon on Dec 4th because that's when I've off for a whole week! and won't be around to play with it! arg! Though if that does happen and it's delivered say 7th my OH will be able to collect it from royal mail. Meaning I'll have to entrust her to open it on the Thursday night and start charging it, so when I get home on the Friday evening it's had nearly 24 hours charge time and no excuses for me not to switch it on!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I read that you need to charge it for 12 hours but surely you can switch it on while it's charging??!? There's no way I would manage to bear that!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

You don't have to, but potentially the battery will have trouble reaching its maximum capacity if you do not do full charge/drain cycles the first few times before starting the normal "top up" routine.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

That's what I plan on doing!

TBH, I am not sure how necessary this is these days, with various advancements in battery technology (plus it doesn't tell you to do it like it did in the old days, plus the batteries tend to come at least partially charged too). But it can't hurt can it?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The batteries HAVE to come partially charged, as if they are left for a long period fully charged or nearly empty, that is what breaks them. Presumably that is why you have to run them through the cycle too, so that you kick them back into working order.

I would imagine it all depends on how long they have been left in storage. I know I didn't do the cycling on my iPod Touch and its totally out of whack now, so I may be more careful with the N900.

I didn't do it on my Xperia X1 either, but that was Lithium Polymer so perhaps not subject to the same issue.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I too have ordered from MPD and have been less than impressed by their lack of communications but has there actually been any confirmation yet that the N900 will be available from any other retailer on contract?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Either today or tommorrow their will be n900's on contract for vodafone for all those people who pre-ordered from the NFS

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Jumping back to the memory cards - today is my payday and I'm going to buy one (even though my N900 isn't here yet)... Does anyone know anything about the classes of the ones posted on here? I've seen mayny sandisk 16gb's that are class 2. Class 6 would be nice, but they're a bit pricey from what I can tell... Any help would be great.

By the way - did you see on the UK thread that NFS are now saying 4th December instead of today? I wonder if we'll be seeing more delays ourselves...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well now this is some kind of news

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

gets down on knees and prays while crossing fingers for luck...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

:eek: MPD have the stock?!?!

I'm trying to webchat with them to confirm this but it's proving as difficult as usual.

If anyone else has any luck please post your findings here.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I thought that was what had been said earlier in the week, that MPD would get the stock today but not ship until Monday. I really hope it is wrong and they ship today/tomorrow but I fear its correct.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yep, trying the same but no response at the mo.

Ok, some idle speculation. They've got them today..presumably they need to do some network checks (is that right?). then they start working through the pre-orders - hopefully in the order they got them - and sending them out. Very slim possibility of tomorrow since they use Royal Mail special delivery, slightly better possibility of Saturday (Royal Mail SD do deliver on Saturday I understand). Ok, I appreciate this is all wishful thinking, but that's all I've got at the moment....I'm still bracing myself for a delivery at the end of next week...:(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Please let it be so!! I ordered on the 10th October. How far down the queue do you reckon I am?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Can I suggest we nominate a live chat spokesperson? The rest of us can then stop hasseling MPD, who in turn can then box up and send out my phone. ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

In front of me...I ordered on 21st October. When I spoke to them though shortly after ordering it didn't seem that they had had that many orders and they were sure that they would have enough stock to cover all pre-orders. Fingers, toes and various other parts of my anatomy are firmly crossed...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

If 'N900retailers' information is correct (things might have changed from the time of posting), they were to receive stock today and ship Monday. I hope they ship tomorrow though... mine still says pending... probably not updated yet.

Could be they don't want to announce they have stock in (unless they are asked directly) people will want them shipped today / tomorrow if so.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just had this brief chat with a MPD guy on live chat.
Nothing much but thought I'd post it anyway.

Webshop Customer Help says:
How can I help?
Rhos says:
Hi
Rhos says:
I am wondering if you have the Stock of the N900 in yet - I am wondering if it is possible to collect it in a store rather than have it delivered?
Webshop Customer Help says:
No unfortunately not
Rhos says:
Is that No to both questions? :(
Webshop Customer Help says:
yes unfortunately :(
Rhos says:
Ok, thansk anyway

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

So did I but mine was quite late on the Saturday evening. Fingers crossed we are near the top of the list.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Damn right I want it shipped today ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just managed to get through to MPD on the phone for the first time ever!!! So I was a little suprised to hear someones voice the other end!

I played a bit dumb and said I pre-order my N900 back in september and just wanted to check when I'm going to get it.

He mentioned the email, I again played dumb and said I haven't received it. He gave the standard "end of the month" reply, to which I said "so now then?..." he basically re-iterated the end of the month.

I asked him directly, "Do you have it in stock yet?" to which he replied "No".

I shall try the webchat thingy again, in the hope that they are more well informed and the chap on the phone was wrong.

Even if they have got them delivered this morning, I'll be happy enough with them posting it on Monday!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I only ordered mine Thursday last week, Hope I get it around the same time as you who all ordered ages ago :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I wonder where that other person got their info from? Hmm...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

29th sept here - crossing fingers toes and all things crossable! (Even my moobs are trying!)

I'm still sure that 3rd/4th is gonna be the date - don't beleive they have em in stock until my order says "In Stock - being Shipped - Blah blah"
:)

(Willl be very very happy if it turns up sooner though!)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ooooh I ordered on 24th September!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I ordered 28th September, so I hope I'm in the first batch sent out from MPD!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I bet it was one of those smug buggers who've already got theirs just trying to wind us up. :rolleyes:

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Welcome all i been following all treads ever since i preordered my n900 a month ago, decided to register and contribute in any info i have

Had a quick webchat at mpd was told no stock in yet but were still expecting stock in over the next couple of days latest is the 4th

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

This coming from a company who previously said "latest the end Nov" and "latest 16th Nov", do I really take them seriously?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Haha - you probably shouldn't, although, seeing as NFS are now getting theirs in on the 4th, maybe there's MORE delays and that MPD are now getting them in on the 4th too...which would mean another delay...!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Pardon me one moment....

Thank you, normal emotions can now resume.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Im waiting till the NFS have it in stock, then I will be on the phone to them as there will be proof that they are not the first, and I want to know where my damn phone is. I ordered mid Oct, so hopefully will be up near the front..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just to quote 'N900retailer' again:

Salisbury would be the best bet for people in the know. Don't all go phoning them up though. It's not making the phone come any faster. Lets just go off from the 4th until we hear something concrete.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hoho. I ordered on the 20th of September.......

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

normal service has been resumed..

Just spoke to a friendly guy on MPD webchat and they still haven't got them from Nokia and he says they can't get any definite info from them about when they will arrive.

BTW, just out of interest they have taken approximately 800 pre-orders at MPD...so god knows how long it will take to ship them out once they do get them in..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Interestingly, I just had this email reply to a complaint I emailed MPD the other day. Primarily, regarding the lack of communication and the fact that they said 16th and, fair enough, it was delayed beyond their control but it took 3 days for them to send out "the" email! Also, had a problem with webchat in which numerous messages I sent and the person sent to me simply weren't displayed at my end. Which caused frustration on both sides, at the time not realising it was happening (until I had the emailed transcript).

Anyway, here's their reply:

Not sure why they mentioned canceling, I didn't even suggest that I would!

Maybe they are hoping that everyone will cancel and this whole fiasco will finally be over. lol
