Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

This is really worrying me now as the Vodafone deals are horrible.

Many chose MPD only because it worked out about the same/cheaper to get it on T-Mobile over 18 months as it would to buy it SIM free. Getting it later than Nokia online then being told it will be more expensive than agreed upon........ :eek::(

Personally, I can't afford to buy it outright but if I have to choose Voda I am not sure I can afford it at all.

I mean come on, the deal I chose on T-Mobile:
£20/month (200 mins) for 18 months, £86.99 up front.
Vodafone:
£20/month (75 mins) for 18 months, £183.99 up front. (I can't afford this)

I would have to choose:
£20/month (300 mins) for 24 months :(, £167.99. (not sure I can afford this either)
or
£20/month (75 mins) for 24 months :(, £93.99.

Both of those are pathetic and nomatter which I choose, its costing me a lot more money for a lot less service.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I couldnt agree more. they are horrible.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Indeed I may end up tied into the contract for 6 months longer than planned, getting 125 less minutes each month, paying £127 more over the contract than on the T-Mobile deal.

So I really REALLY hope you are mistaken.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Vodafone, £30/month 18 months + 25 upfront, 300 mins & unlimited text+web

Didn't you see this deal?

That brought it to line with the T-Mobile deal.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

That's still £118.01 more than the T-Mobile deal over the contract length, hardly comparable. Besides, no I can't see that the one. The only one I can see is £35/month for those prices/minutes.

I would have to get £25/month for 18 months, 75 mins £93.99 up front.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Remind me again what was T-Mobile deal like?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

£20/month (200 mins, 200 texts) for 18 months, £86.99 up front.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

No unlimited web?
What's the point getting this plan on N900 then?

Ok so add £5/month for unlimited web on T-Mobile, which brings the total to £537 (Vodafone = £565 includes handset cost)

Breakdown:

T-Mobile:
Contract - £450 over 18 months
Handset: £87
Total: £537

Vodafone:
Contract - £540 over 18 months
Handset: £25
Total: £565

So for £28 difference, you get unlimited text + 100 mins more a month.

Voda seems to be a better deal here.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also if you can wait until January when the handset becomes available for network providers, you can claim £120 cashback with Voda. T-Mobile only doing £70ish at the moment.

Warning to UK customers ordering by CC. My CC company knocked back my pre-order from Nokia yesterday. I phoned them and they said it 'looked suspicious'. Surely It would have been better if they had approved the order then phoned me up to confirm! Now I have to reorder with Nokia Grrrr.

So if you are ordering via CC it might be worth phoning up your CC provider and warning them.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

oooooo thats owned by MPD? What about us pre-orderers! i have friday off, only 40 mins from guildford!!!! - cani come n get it pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Same happened to me!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Same happened to me!!!!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Please could you comment in the thread dedicated to those who had their accounts cancelled. There's support for that here (even if it is only mutual sobbing on shoulders!)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yes, have done so already

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Thank 'ee. I believe they're tracking how many people this has happened to, so it's useful.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I am in the uk by the way.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Its 9AM - lets hope it gets put in the UPS van today.......:)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

It won't be.
The N900s are departing from NLD today.
With standard delivery, don't think we'll get to play with them until Thursday.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Even Thursday sounds good :)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Won't we get another email first saying it has shipped.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I think we will...hopefully today.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

That's incorrect - the 3GB a month limit is for mobile broadband, the limit for mobile internet is 500Mb a month.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

In comparrison TMobile is 1GB a month unless you are on one of their G series phone contracts (HTC Hero/G2) and then it's 3GB.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I saw a few people saying that they had received there devices and Nokia still had there progress as "this order has not shipped" and also never received a shipping conformation email.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Can these people please report on here if they've received their orders?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Hi there everyone,

I'm a new user, but been reading these forums for a few months now. I'm one of the unfortunate people who put their order in with MPD and also took out a T-Mobile contract. Just thought I'd share this webchat with you for those in the same boat as me:

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly.
One moment please...
We apologize for the delay. A representive will be with you shortly.
Webshop Customer Help says:
how can i help~?
Steve says:
Hi - I have an N900 on pre-order but with a T-Mobile contract from a couple of months back
Steve says:
I was just wondering if those T-Mobile contracts are going to be honoured, and if they will be sent out at the same time as the Vodafone ones?
Webshop Customer Help says:
yes they will be sent out on first come first serve basis, and yes t-mobile orders will be honored
Steve says:
Thank you very much. That's great news.

Of course, the posts from Steve from MPD worry me, but that was certainly reassuring news.

I got a 12-month contract with them at £30 a month (no web) and paid £80 for the phone - this was because I'm going to use my current Voda contract with it and have sold the T-Mobile one to a family member for £15 a month, meaning my N900 only cost me £260 :) If I have to switch to a Voda contract, its going to be another £100-150 on top which would be awful! At least I get paid in two days eh!?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Anyone got Nokia Shipping Confirmations? or Status change on the site?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I would recommend you to wait for the next week.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

This is not what we been informed. I will learn what is going on in details today.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I think it was some people in France, Italy and Finland if I remember correctly..

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

If I'd ordered a TMobile contract from MPD and they decided they wouldn't honour it I'd be going ape **** right about now.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I do believe it was, a bit odd though isn't it? That being said I still wouldn't expect it today... maybe tomorrow... maybe...

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Poland received theirs too.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I have a t-mobile contract from MPD and Im expecting them to honour it.
My understanding is that there wasn't a problem with these, it was just there was a quota and the quota of orders was filled, so the t-mobile offer was then withdrawn?

Correct me if Im wrong

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Voda deal is only £28 difference (overall cost) compare to that T-Mobile deal.
Gives you 100 more mins and unlimited text+web instead of 200mins 200txts

Just go with that whatever happens to T-Mobile, it's a better deal.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yeah I'm gonna go with that either tomorrow or Thursday.. Either way my weekend is gonna be good :D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I called Nokia UK today regarding my order and asking for where in the workflow it had progressed. They are apparently awaiting tracking information from UPS which I suspect will be sent as a large dump. That in mind I suspect a huge flood on the forums when everyone's shipping status changes.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I have a T-Mobile too and I am hoping they will honour it. I was also of the understanding that the quota was filled, so the offer was then withdrawn:)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

i got the Combi 15 + Web-n-Walk, for an all in price of around £467.

if that changes, then i simply cancel, i won't be messed about after waiting this long.

p.s. my thanks for being so informative, it is appreciated. :)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

This was my understanding as well, and I contacted MPD when I saw that the T-mobile offers had disappeared from their site. They said it was simply the case that the quota had been filled and those who had already ordered would have their contract honoured.

I am going to be mighty pi55ed if this turns out not to be true
