I ended up getting an android handset (even though I know the huge limitations compared to the maemo platform) just because I wasn't going to be mucked about any longer, nokia's loss this time, it's just been too much of a mess. Ah well, maybe I'll be back in a few years time eh
Nice email, but if you sent that to the standard webshop email I doubt it'll ever be seen by him
I have since forwarded it to karl.borges@, karl@ and karl_borges@mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - so far, only karl_borges@ has sent a bounce message back leading me to suspect that both karl@ and karl.borges@ are probably valid email addresses.
Emailed MPD to get my order cancelled last week and only just got the cancellation email this morning. To be fair they have handeled the whole release of this device so badly. This phone/tablet sells itself .
To be fair, I've just been offered a job at Vodafone so I'll just wait and see what I get offered there, (hopefully an N900!)
At least I've used Carphone warehouse before, at least they didnt produce a hype without having any solid facts themselves.
Just called MPD myself stating that I had recieved an email saying that item would be dispatched 3rd Dec but I had heard whispers of a 2 week delay and wanted to see if that was correct. Guy confirmed this was correct, they were not expected for another 2 weeks now but the usual line that they were still the only people offering on contract and if I cancelled and re-ordered I would be put to the back of the queue, I said I had been promised multiple dates for dispatch and could not afford to rely on another one so my request for cancellation still stood.
Really wanted this phone guys but looks like Ill catch you all for next gen maemo 6 phone instead. Gutted.
You're JOKING?
I just tried Chat to see what reaction I got but there are 'no representatives available' ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Just spoke to a lady at NFS, and asked do you sell the N900 on contract, she said yes on T-Mobile & Vodaphone, but we don't have any in stock at the moment. I asked her if she knew when they'd be getting stock, she said Friday so they're expecting it to "be available" on Monday! I'm seriously considering a quick visit to my friend in London JUST to get this damn phone, or perhaps even just a day trip so I can give MPD two fingers and tell them to go screw themselves! My OH thinks I'm crazy to keep my pre-order with MPD, but I've told her that I'm not going to cut of my nose to spite my face. At the end of the day I want this phone on the best deal I can get as soon as I can get it!
She said to me come to Store on monday and order, and u ll have it when ever it comes I asked when its going to available she said she doesnt know but i can go there and order it on monday?!? i have no idea whts goin on

Off topic- what's your thoughts on the Android having originally planned for the N900? (sorry for the offtopic but just curious in case)
Ok, last phone call of the day from me (I am extremely fed up now!). Rang MPD, asked if they'd had the N900's in he said no. It's likely to be withing the next 2 weeks, Nokia have pushed it back again!
I asked if this was a general delay for everyone or just MPD, he said everyone (of course) "not even Regent Street have them in stock".
He then went on to say they should have there first delivery by the end of the week which will cover all pre-orders for September.
I tried to tell him what NFS had told me (see previous post), but think he got confused and thought I was on about last friday's delivery because he then went on to tell me that NFS received 100 and that was for pre-orders made with them before the N900 was available on MPD!
Had I recalled at the time that the person on these forums that claims to have gotten one from NFS, had only pre-ordered 21st Nov, I would have gone mental at him! Luckily for him I forgot about that at the time and just ended the conversation.
This is bad on MPD part this is the main reason why I never ordered through them this time around and never will again. There customer service is so bad, You should have seen them at the release of the N97 that was terrible.
I reckon, the reason for delay this time is because of the "random restarts" and the "mic" issue... which sucks! Nokia did say they had limited time but releasing a perfect phone THIS way really aint Nokia like! They are/already have lost alot of customers over the n97 release and now they are losin more!! :/
