This has been the first time I've pre-ordered anything, I think I can safely say it will be the last.
Amen to that. Previous to this I've always bought my phones unlocked and SIM-free and it was only financial circumstances that made me go with a contract. It certainly seems to be a lot of hassle and I'm seriously concerned about what will happen if I get a bricked unit...I somehow strongly suspect that MPD won't be going that extra mile to help me

Thanks, I thought i was the only one who didn't have credit checks and same with the upfront cost. It lessened my Available balance with a difference of 68.99 from total, but after 5 days the available balance was back to normal :/ and status stayed as "Pending stock".
I called my bank to let them know about the transaction just in case if they reject it later on thinking it was fraudulent or something :/

Hi guys,
I ordered from gummobile.com but it has been delayed twice now and now it is showing 31st December but even that is not guaranteed so ive cancelled my order and am looking to get the motorolas milestone which is due out week today. Shame as i really liked the n900 but knowing my luck id get a dodgy one after waiting all that time.

hello there, yes im another one frustrated by this whole thing. And YES! i did wonder why my avail balance was today less than it should have been. except i think mine totals the value of the first months contract and the initial payout minus the subsidy.

therefore i can only assume they are getting ready to ship these out by taking our money now. I suspect it wont vanish out of there until it is actually shipped. This i can only assume they know exactly when they are getting stock - if not, that's very bad business deducting money before even getting the items themselves. Now THAT would make me complain to industry standards comittee, it's just plain bad business practice.

I think more than anything i'm annoyed that instead of having someone in nokia store sending out what can only be described as their stock - why they couldn't send some out from there - surely that way they might get a few happy customers and nokia would sell more sim-free phones in store - thus more money for them.

*hurumph* If i dont get confirmation tomorrow, I shall seek legal advice. who knows - might geta free phone out of all this bad business practice

I was out and about not long ago and whilst waiting for my OH to do some shopping I tried ringing MPD repeatedly until someone answered.

Finally, got through, firstly chased a complaint about the £2 credit check thingy (see previous posts!), then said "presumabley my N900 whill be dispatched today, and he said no. I lied and told him I'd been advised it'd be delivered today, because it was the end of Nov.

He said this week, I said well I hear the at least one person walked into the flagship store in london and collected their pre-order today on the Voda contract, I thought you were to be having the exclusive on contracts. He gave a crappy answer (if I hadn't been in a shop I would have double checked my details and had a go at him for such a stupid answer!) and simply said that it must have "been a fluke" (a fluke!!?! Yeh he just happened to go in and get lucky enough that a production unit was randomly instore ready to fulfill his pre-order!!!).

He also stated and I quote "We run the flagship store".

I thought they only really had a presence their rather than ran it!

Anyway, apologies for the awful grammer, etc, but I'm just soo damn annoyign with how crap MPD are, I can't be bothered to correct myself. Just wanted to get this info out there.

And confirm that NFS are defo handing out N900's to people who pre-ordered? How many people have reported getting them today?

Erm, I think he pretty much confirmed they didn't have them in stock! I'm sure that if they did they'd be more than happy to tell someone on the phone, yes we have our stock, we'll get them out to you soon!

I've just tried ringing the NFS but it rang out, is it definite that they have the pre-orders in stock at NFS? If it is I'll gladly ring back and nag the pants of them and tell them they are lying B@$tards! lol
