just checked my emails and i got the shipping confirmation sent to me at 3:55. i so hope it gets here tomorrow but i think it will be wednesday

One of the possible reasons for the banks rejecting the orders is due to the fact the orders were processed in Finland.

Banks generally don't like large amounts of money being requested from a different country, this becomes especially problematic if your using a credit card to pay for your N900 and you used the same card to pay for a bagel and a latte for morning brunch in the UK, it kind of sets of alarms...

I used all three vouchers and the money seems to have been taken from my credit card. It's not showing up in transactions yet but my available credit has decreased by the correct amount (£306.45).

Using the three vouchers brought the total down to £306.45. Also had £49.90 validated on quidco. So will be £256.55 once the quidco has come thru.

I've only got the 'in stock - released for processing' email so far. Ordered on the 19th Oct.

Just got the normally really annoying call from my CC company saying that Nokia had charged me, but this time I was overjoyed to hear from them.

Also got an email from shop.nokia.co.uk saying that they have processed the order, but no shipping confirmation.

Got my screen protector, SD card, and armoured case, all I need now is patience

This isn't true for auth's marked as internet orders, only for card holder present.
This is more the fact that Nokia couldn't communicate internally and unnecessarily auth'ed cards three times (or more) for 500 quid, it is naturally assumed as a fraud. (How many people buy three phones for 500quid in 2 months?)
There are better ways of doing this and Nokia should know this.

Which armored case did you get? Sorry off topic a second...
