the big question is......????

Did everyone who ordered in September, October and November receive their phones, and even their replacement phones before Xmas?

Thankfully, yes- and so far it's working like a dream (my number doesn't port over til tomorrow) and the longer i play with this thing, the more i'm falling absolutely in love with it.

One thing though.. I put all my email details in to set up 3 accounts which all run from my website server. they were all accepted, but when I send/receive, I'm not getting anything coming through. Any ideas? Surely i can't have made a mistake in them all.

are you using nokia messaging? i've had problems with one account. but my other two seem fine. there are quite a few posts on here about imap/pop3 accounts

I find that my Hotmail account fails to connect fairly often however emails that are set-up on my own server connect absolutely fine.

The only thing I can say is the obvious. Double check your user-name, password and pop3 settings and maybe try different ports if you can open them up on your email server.

Ordered mine 27/12 (was Sunday)
Didn't ship Monday as it was a UK bank holiday.
Order status says ready for dispatch since yesterday.
I hope i get it today as it should have been sent yesterday as i opted for next day delivery.

P.S. Can't wait to get it in my hands

*edit* just rang MPD as i have not took delivery of my n900, yesterday vodafones system was down so they are sending my n900 today for a delivery in the morning.

Hey ninjaboxergirl I am really happy for you - you finally got your hands on a fully working N900!

I've had enormous fun using mine over the past few weeks.

Unforunately MPD did not transfer my existing number (what's the bloody point of asking for it when I ordered it?) to Vodafone - I had to arrange that myself. To be fair Vodafone sorted it out in a few days.

One of my work mates just bought an HTC Hero (android phone) and looks at my N900 with envy - very satisfying!

However, one shortcoming of the N900 is that the free disk space on the rootfs is very small. Apparently if you run out of disk space the N900 does not cope very well and many people have had to re-flash the phone!

So only installed apps that have been "optified" - these apps install to a 2gb partitiion instead and mainly avoid the rootfs.

Oh and another thing I noticed. If you connect the N900 (without "switching it on") to a pc via USB you will get a slow transfer rate. Make sure the LCD screen is lit on N900 first - then plug into pc - your transfer rate will be better.

Apart from that - absolutely love it.
