Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Morning fellow Maemoeans.

Yes, it does say clearly on their website that they use Royal Mail... haha- another reason for it to be even more delayed. Good eh?:)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

So, if the phone is posted on Friday, I WILL expect it on Saturday, not bloody Monday:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Sorry, don't think so - "Next working day"

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'd be expecting it monday :(
Bloody redirected post taking an extra day. the tards

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

DAMN:rolleyes:

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

But they do deliver Saturdays, don't they? I'm sure I've had stuff on a saturday.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yeah i'm pretty sure they deliver saturdays too.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The answer to that is yes, but........

Officially they deliver only saturday post - sender pays more for it.
Sometimes they do deliver normal post on a saturday if it's part of select routes or they have a backlog - but dont bet on it!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

oooo but what about the extra Christmas deliveries? Didn't they say they would deliver in the evenings as well from a certain date? can't remember what that date was tho.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers

One moment please...
We apologize for the delay. A representive will be with you shortly.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Same old rubbish then,
That guy clearly didnt have a clue about anything eh

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

apart from the fact they DO NOT have stock and DO NOT know when they are getting it.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Its this bit that i dont like...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

this is getting absolutely rediculous now.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

You are my Sunshine - Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Absolutely pathetic.

Are they atually doing anything to find out? they've been saying 'we're trying to get answers' for days- I thought they were supposed to be Nokia's official online outlet.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

lol ..

For those who were looking for that "ellusive handset".."exclusively".... time is fast running out ...

As usual its all a waiting game....

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

"The reason: Our sources have in fact confirmed that Vodafone paid a large some on money in order to gain exclusivity for the device for two months. (End November 2009 – End January 2010)

Now no doubt some of you are asking, why would they pay for it & then not offer it through their own stores? There are a few possible reasons:

* Nokia only wanted the device available through their own stores for a few months.
* As in the case of the Nokia N97, there were several early bugs & Vodafone wanted exclusivity but didn’t want to be tarnished with the problems as happened with the N97."

*strokes beard in ponderment :confused:

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

If they are they're certainly doing a s*** jonb of keeping their staff informed. Getting really quite fed up with all this nonsence now

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Can't believe it, I am so dissappointed now, really believed tomorrow would be the day of status change!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thats what they wanted us all to believe.
Beginning to doubt that MPD will ever get them in stock now

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks for the reply NoobMonkey.
Well, I've just been on a webchat and the person on the other end reckoned I'm in a queue with the "retail team" when they were helping with high customer loads and I don't have an order number as I'd requested an upgrade on my Vodafone contract which they couldn't do until they're in stock...then the chat died before I could get more detail.

Sound feasible? I'm hoping my local Nokia store gets some in stock on the first delivery for walk-ins (they said they would), then I'll just pop down for upgrade, maybe??

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I hope we get a free gift or something, I wouldn't mind http://www.nokia.com/microsites/bh-905.

Actually I'd happily wait another few weeks if I was getting one of those.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Totally unrelated but.... if you like monty python and you like southpark you should enjoy this.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Im goint to wait until I speak to someone at the NFS store Thurs night before deciding whether to cancel my MPD order. Im really in two minds as the t-mobile deal was so good, but Im reaching the point where Im losing faith with MPD

Will post here once I have spoken to them with my findings.
Its just a shame that it is Vodafone as it will cost alot more :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Not a prob and good luck with whichever option you choose :) - i look forward tohearing your opinions on the device when you get it :)
With regards to ordering from anywhere, you should be able to log in and see your order after it has been placed, even with Nokia/MPD/CPW/ etc etc.... So don't take a waiting list place as an order anywhere :(

The MPD webchat system is very flakey, so a phone call is better if you can't do it on the internet. My personal opinion, which may differ from other rumours is.....

any orders placed with nokia uk now, will probably get to you in about 1-2weeks, as it sounds like they may have stock back in. But these are sim free.

An order placed in the flagship store should see you with your device in a week or under maybe.

MPD orders placed now, may just see you with your device before xmas if lucky :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm waiting eagerly to ehar what you decide, as i may pop up to the NFS in london on saturday and do the same if i can just pick one up. But i'm fine with Voda - as the signal is so much better down here for me :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

OHGODDAMMIT...I managed to get through on the phone to the same girl I was talking to on the webchat- turns out the list I'm on will be fulfilled AFTER the weborders, which is contrary to what I was told at the time. Great, thanks MPD!

Back of the queue it is then- doesn't look like stores are going to have walk-in stock either according to her (I'll still call my local shop to see though).

What's my alternative to get it quicker...do NFS do new contracts? Could I just go in to the London store when they have walk-in stock (any idea when that is due to be?) and then port my number to a PAYG sim on another network, then back to that new Vodafone contract to keep it?

I'm miffed :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

NFS do do new contracts, via mpd i think, i'm a bit confused with the stries on here, and i'm not sure if people have or have not successfully received their devices by walking in to the store and requesting a contratc. Would be useful to get a definitive answer on this one.

edit : Wow i really can't spell or type!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Just cancelled my MPD pre-order via phone. I've got no confidence in the platform going forwards after this much fumbling by Nokia and partners. I'll wait a while, perhaps get one when they're cheaper and in the shops.

One more open slot in the queue for everyone else!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I have every confidence in Nokia producing and developing a platform. I just have zero confidence in their supply and delivery chain.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yay to the extra slot...

poo poo to nokia loosing another customer at this stage of the game :( (Don't care about mpd loosing another customer!)

It's an interesting place here, as nokia employees do read it - but mainly developers and product peoples i assume, Peter doesn't by the looks of it feedback anything - well at least not to the customer.... I really do wonder if anyone senior enough in Nokia knows anything about the failed n900 saga?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Cheers! I might have to give NFS Regent St a call then, clarify when they expect walk-in stock and if they'll do any decent new Vodafone contracts, maybe even upgrades? (And if they're likely to have any phones left on Saturday, otherwise that'll be a long wasted trip from Swindon!)

I don't suppose they'll be likely take a phone order and post it out?! hah

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Surely they must do...I mean, they are ones ultimately making and shipping these products and they must know if stock is or isn't getting the retailers/customers...or at least that's why I thought until this whole Nokia/MPD debacle started. :(

This must be hurting MPD now judging by the number of cancellations announced on this forum (yay to that I say - both because it moves me up the queue and also hurts MPDs profit ;)). Bloody shambolic organisation though..shame it's the only damn way I can get the N900 on a contract with T-mobile.
