That is really annoying, they should give us Saturday delivery by way of an apology. In fact, if I could change my order I would be tempted to PAY for Saturday delivery because my current phone is killing me.

me too, using some old samsung flip fone

even though i'm on this thread and have ordered from MPD still don't feel like an "MPD customer",
customers usually pay money and get something in return, MPD won't take my money or give me anything

still being hopeful tho

Just checked email and got this:


Likelyhood of them posting anything??

I just got this in my email from MPD regarding my order.

" We will proceed with the order once stock arrives (this is due at the end of next week).

Firstly they tell us that stock will arrive this week, and now they have the cheek to say it's next week! Is this wild goose chase ever going to end?

I have a HTC HD2 coming in the next few days and if I am satisfied with it then I might cancel my order. Extremely poor customer service if you ask me.

First post, and a question for y'all...I've got one of these elusive devices on pre-order/reserve with MPD since the 21st Nov (left my phone number with a guy on the webchat to add me to the "queue")...however I wonder if any of the Nokia retail stores will hold stock back for walk-ins? I called one and they said they would, but another said the opposite.

What do you think? I haven't actually committed any money to them yet and just giving my phone number for a callback "hen they're in stock" sounds a bit dubious anyway, so if a store has stock on Friday I would be happy to nip in and pick one up!

I ordered on the 17th Nov

I've not had ANY email since whilst some of you are getting all sorts of stuff,

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. My order tracking is showing pending as everyone else. TBH I'm in no major rush, I've an e90 now and my current contract runs out 24th Dec but if it runs another week or so it won't kill me..... lets be honest there is far more crap happening in the world than us not getting our new toys!

I've not chased MPD as TBH there comes a point when all the chasing does nothing but stop people actually doing there job. We can all shout and scream till the cows come home, it won't make it arrive any quicker... let teh guys get on with teir jobs and we have a chance of it getting here a little earlier. OK, MPD could have done a little better but hey, show me a webtailer that doesn;t have issues with high desireable, low availability kit

there comes a certain amount of pain being an early adopter, get used to it, accept the things you can't change and change the things you can.


I spent nearly 12 months waiting for stuff to be ported from S60 V2 to V3 when I got my N80, learn patience and work with people rather than against them and you will feel much much better inside yourself...

remember , 9 months down teh line your memories will be of a superb piece of kit, not the pain of getting it

hang on... now i'm really confused. question was:

is there a reason i'm missing why someone would choose sim-free over contract?

answer (i think) was:

because contract is better value for money.

please tell me i've not lost the plot.
