Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

why haven't i got £2 deduction on my account yet :( though they shadowed 70 phone cost at the time i ordered and that too is now back on my account :/ maybe i ordered late thats why :( maybe they really are doing it on first come first serve basis unlike nokia UK :E

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

me too, no movement on my account. i don't understand why they would do the £2 thing twice.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Can't check mine as it's a paper statement, but i had the £2 go out right at the start when i ordered 16th Oct. Does this new activity suggest they have the phones in stock now then,does anyone know, despite my account still reading Pending stock?

edit: sorry fogot to say mine's n T mobile.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm in southampton next tuesday and going past on wednesday, would love to find out if i can pop in and collect thing damn thing seeing as thats where the web shop is!

Sadly i think even on monday MPD are going to be short of info :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think i have 'Pending Stock' burnt into my retinas :(

emailed mpd a 4th time, no reply again.

i'm losing faith.

Its looking like the NFS have them in stock - some people who bought SIM free are picking up today and others who bought contract are having them sent out on Mon :eek::D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Guys I have also seen movement on my acount of 2 pounds being debited from my account. I think things must be getting closer since had happened before about 2 months ago. Hopefully the ammount should be reimbursed on monday and the phones will shortly follow. T-mobile here to.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

when i asked about this i was told that as i had ordered online i could not collect it, but worth a go if you're near, if you have any luck let me know :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

anyone know how much stock there getting, if i order today will i get it soon?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Wish my status would bloomin change to pending stock and not sit on 'new' :S

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No hope - the initial stock is all allocated, the earliest you can expect will be next Fri from everything I have seen..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I wish my status would change to shipped :)!
Seriously tho, that doesnt sound good! When did you order?
have you spoken to them?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Friday the 4th? if thats the case thats not bad, think i will order one now.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Squirrel - take all dates with a pinch of salt - as it all depends on stock :)

From the last MPD email (And only one!) - they will get them on the 3rd and send out to pre-order'er's - i would assume if they have no stock they will have to wait for the next batch from Nokia, so allthough the touted release date for normal sales is the 4th - it could be extended due to stock levels.

Placing a pre-order now should be fine, but be aware you may not get it on the 4th, and it could come through later :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if this has already been said. I think you guys might want to contact the Advertising Standards Authority for 'Nokia Retail' and their 'exclusive' availability' deal. That looks very misleading to me. Worth a try, anyway.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Amen to that. My PAYG order has been sitting in the same 'New (other)' state for the last 9 weeks.

I'm not too concerned, probably just the way their system handles PAYG orders. It will no doubt just change to 'shipped' any day now.
Nevertheless, it would have been nice to have more descriptive order status.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

How much was yours? The price kept changing between £469 and £392.

I had it down for a sim free one @ £469 (which is now £499) but changed it over to the £392 PAYG.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yup, I went down exactly the same road as you, once I found out there was no network lock applied to the PAYG devices.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

LOL - Great minds think alike :D

Sent them a very long mail pointing out all the inconsistencies and a few screenshots of their site and the confusion it had caused. I have a case number and will see what happens. Im going to complain to MPD Monday if they are not shipping then, as they promised to be first, and if the NFS are shipping them MPS should as well.

If anyone else wants to complain to the ASA, then it would be a good idea as the more people who complain, the more likely they will do something..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think they were attempting to promote their 'exclusive' availability to sell the N900 with a contract - however, their advertising was ambiguous at best.

I would imagine this leaves them in a tenuous position only with customers who ordered 'SIM Free' packs, expecting to be supplied prior to other sales channels in the like-for-like 'SIM Free' state.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

can you still buy this phone on PAYG for £392 an where is it from?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No, it was MPD it is now £469

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

All of use who are active in this thread presumably don't have are n900's yet.
After looking at all these new threads about how buggy the n900 is, reboots, mic fault....ext

Are you not tempted to cancel your order with mpd............ i know i am

and wait till the next batch of n900's come, these bugs could be hardware who knows?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No- don't really see the point. There are plenty of people who have their devices who are more than pleased with them. Surely we may as well see whether the ones we're sent are woking first- if not, send them back. What is tere to lose after all this waiting?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

True, just been getting a little worried lately.
Still looking forward to getting in, hopefully by next saturday

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No, hardware faults are inevitable with any device, there is no such thing as a perfect manufacturing process, if mine is broken, its going back for a replacement unit.

As for the bugs - it to be expected, this device is bleeding edge, but the community will be on the bugs quicker than the standard fix of waiting for the manufacturer to release a patch - look at the droid forums, they have serious bugs at the moment.

If you want a rock solid device, buy something else, but if you want a cutting edge device and are willing to have a slightly bumpy road on the way - the the n900 is the right choice

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The flagship store has them now, so Im really hopeful that it will be next week now..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I don't think it's actually that many people. None of the devs has reported anything unfixable. Some of the microphone issues seem to have ben solved by rebooting which suggests it's a software issue rather than hardware (which is no help at all to those who keep getting the problem after reboot).

There are more people disappointed because they expected n900 to be an upgrade from n97, when in fact it bears no relation to symbian at all, and is quite different. If that's what you're expecting, you might want to rethink. But I wouldn't let the few hardware issues put you off.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I emailed MPD to change ther tariff Id chosen. Only ordered last week - got this reply:

I’m afraid Sir that after looking into your order we are unable to change your tariff. We are hoping to have all N900 dispatched before the 5th DEC, allowing that Nokia give us the stock in time.



I hope this is ok.

Have now cancelled my order - If its gonna be the 5th I'll just reorder again, when I've seen that you lot get yours on or around the 5th. Just dont trust them anymore.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hopefully we will know Monday if they get the stock in.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i noticed MPD's web site now changed N900 from pre-order to order. the link leads you to nokiaretail.co.uk which still says pre-order though

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

MPD updates their pages more frequently. Nokia retail never update that page - it's been like that as soon as MPD started the redirect.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well the flagship Nokia store in regents St have the devices and are now filling pre-orders so it's looking like they are finally on their way...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

When do they get them did they give any clues.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Other people have posted that they have actually picked up from the store today if they ordered sim free. Apparently the contract orders are being shipped out Mon - this is only for people who ordered through the NFS..

As far as Im aware, all the stock is taken with pre-orders = sorry Nuknuk - have you sent yours back yet??

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

But aren't the NFS contract orders actually handled by MPD? So surely ALL MPD pre-orders should start shipping then.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

As far as I know, they are handled by MPD. Thats why Im waiting until Mon, see what people are saying about NFS contract orders being sent out and then trying (again) to get hold of MPD and see if the damn thing has shipped..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Some people are saying that nfs will do contracts from the 4th, i take it this is instore only?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

From the postings I have seen, people who ordered sime free from NFS could pick up from store yesterday, pre-ordered contracts will be shipped from tomorrow, as for contracts on general sale, hopefully from next fri if there is stock. NFS delivery is all allocated to pre-orders at the moment

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

How do you get it on contract from nfs or do you mean on contract from mpd?
