well it looks like im out of the Game. I did some hard maths last night, and reconded i could afford, it with a 25% discount , ok not the 45% i could have been lucky to get if mastercard hadnt refused. but i could affort it.
After speaking to them today, its looking like the 15% is all were gonna see and i can even take that to a cash back site to make it up to the 25%.
So so long, its almost been fun hanging round the forums waiting and i had looked like it would have been fun to dig deeper into the phone with all the peeps here.
maybe i'll manage it when other contract deals appear. but there all to steep for me just now.
Wow jjx, that certainly is appalling service on Nokia's part. It really does take a toll on you, when realising in retrospect, the weeks/months we've been drooling and hyping up over the phone (in addition to being fortunate enough to obtain it, legitimately for a significantly lower price - for some of us) - only to have this BS happen to us unfortunate few.
I decided not to immediately re-order it yesterday with hopes of a better turn of events with this crappy issue today, and yup, low-and-behold, we can at least get the 15%. So I guess I can take solace in that.
First time ive bought from nokia , what a complete balls up ,bad enough the lack of info as release date thought id done well with 30% off booking on 20/11 then the waiting. then finally the email saying its been rejected.and the back of the queue again could be another 3 to 4 weeks according to the new email so why have i paid for express delivery.

another 3-4 weeks. SO that means that if card hadnt been bounced they didnt have enough phones to fufill the pre-orders?
When making my new new order (via Nokia Customer Services), Chris told me that delivery queue position is no longer an issue as they have sufficient stock.
I don't believe him, of course with all the other nonsense, but that's the official line at the moment.
Update 2009-11-25: Yup, he wasn't telling the truth.
