As a director of Mobile Phones Direct that operates Nokia Retail stores, firstly let me apologise if N900 delivery dates supplied by our staff we're incorrect - This was not our intention.
To clarify: Yes, Mobile Phones Direct has an exclusive on the N900 and is able to 'exclusively connect the N900 to Vodafone pay monthly and offer the N900 Free'. The N900 is also available SIM Free for £499 direct from nokia.co.uk. If you buy a Free N900 connected to Vodafone in any Nokia store in the UK, we will be the company connecting it, and stock arrived in all these stores at the same time. We were not aware that nokia.co.uk had stock before us and if they did, they would only be supplying this N900 stock SIM Free. If you would like to buy the N900 SIM Free I would have no hesitation in recommending nokia.co.uk rather than nokiaretail.co.uk. The N900 will not be available to our knowledge (and as advised by Nokia) anywhere else until 2010 other than these Nokia direct sales channels.
Our staff, combined with Nokia have been working hard to ensure that all pre-orders are delivered on fair, first ordered, first delivered basis. Stock is still very limited and is being delivered to our stores in small batches, we however expect that all pre-orders taken up and until last Friday will be shipped during this week, and then after within our usual next day delivery service.
I fully take on-board all of your comments and we are currently working on future solutions to better cope with exclusive Nokia product launches, including a huge investment in our IT systems, and communications.
I really hope that your all 100% pleased with your N900 when you receive it - It's a fantastic product.
If any of you have a specific problem that I can help you with, please email me at karl.borges@nokiaretail.co.uk and I will do my best to resolve the problem for you.
Cheers Karl for you comments and insight. I think most issues people were facing was the lack of any real time communication between Nokia/MPD and customers. When information was forthcoming alot was hear say and conjecture with timescales varying from person to person and company to company. Indeed this still provails with alot of people been told that first come first served is still been adhered to by MPD when it blatently is not as seen by many posts in this thread. I thanks you for your post but I think some damage was done to MPD reputation on this site and the community as a whole. But that said the free postage and packaging went a little towards the misunderstandings that have left so many frustrated.
This is only my opinion and does not directly reflect that of the whole community.

I tried that before, I was told to come back after 10:30 because drivers had not brought back the undelivered parcels yet. Then again, that might just be my lazy sorting office, yours might be worker bee heaven. Its worth a try.

Its worth a try.
