Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Looks like its close to happening, if you lot get yours on wed then the promise of Friday at Regents St may come true.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I guess so because he said i can pick mine up from the store.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I really hope tht we get it by the end of the week :/

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

My N900's still flying about above London..still not landed for arrival scan yet -.-

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Still awake, no news from the bank - not that I'm expecting any for a few hours. :(

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I've been up all night anxiously waiting for the delivery of my N900, been tracking the package all night.
Nuts?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Update...

5:15 at east midlands airport
5:25 at Northampton (not keeping to the speed limit methinks!)
5:28 OUT FOR DELIVERY

Well, I was expecting it to slow right down in the UK. Obviously got a boost from spending time with the pretty Rev's phone on the way over!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

6.25 OUT FOR DELIVERY come to daddy:D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

The competition is for the first person to post that they have their N900 but posted FROM the device itself ;)

(i can't actually join in as I ordered from MPD, but I'm happy you guys will be getting yours soon!)

BARKING, GB 25/11/2009 7:03 ARRIVAL SCAN

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Delivery to residential addresses are between 9AM and 7PM

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Its crazy, what are people supposed to do who work? Can you call UPS for est del time? Or even afternoon/morning!?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

TAMWORTH, GB 25/11/2009 5:30 OUT FOR DELIVERY

Thats MILES away .... I wonder if they will post it to the furthest away first ? If postage is between 9AM and 7PM them they've got to do something for 3.5 Hours. They can't exactly just park up at MacDonalds.

Sorry for over sleeping guys, had about 2.5 hours ... Lol.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

i don't understand.
there just shouldn't be any difference between express and standard shipping. Both use same flight as venomrush says.

I hope i can figure it out today if there is any difference. When ppl starts receiving it, we can ask if it was with standard shipping or express.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

If you call up UPS, they can track down where the package has gone to which delivery van/driver. They'll be able to give you his/her contact number as well.
Purpose is to 'arrange' special delivery circumstances so don't abuse it :p

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I ordered 19/10 with standard delivery and still haven't had an email to say it's been shipped... I'm assuming all you guys ordered before me and/or had express delivery?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

They may take the same flight, and they may get to you early - but there is a bigger chance that they won't.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I in Sweden can pickup my package from the UPS terminal if they cannot reach me at home or if it is in the terminal (the one close to home). I have experience with UPS since before (no phone yet though)

Can you guys do it?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Not on the delivery service that has been paid for. If they try to deliver and you can accept then you can rearrange delivery to another address apparently. This is fairly common in UK at least: geared to the unemployed and people with one member of the family at home all day. Obviously if you don't work then you don't go out either! lol.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Express gets more priority, even on the same flight, theirs scanned in at 5AM for arrival while mine just got scanned.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I ordered 21st Oct.

Try searching on UPS using your Nokia Order Number if you haven't receive the shipment email.

Go to http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/refer...&WT.svl=SubNav
Type in your Order Number (CNL#####) in Reference Number follow by a -01 at the end.
Example: CNL123456789-01

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

True, but I think we will be doing the same on the MPD thread.

We really should think about doing a Sheffield N900 meetup or something, lol. There must be about 5 of us at least now.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Nope.. No joy.. Quite annoying if I ordered before yet receive afterwards :@ Something gone wrong with the order maybe? For some reason the balance of my credit card isnt available in my online banking so I can't see whether I've been charged yet

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

For those who ordered back in October and have not heard anything - have you rung Nokia? Many of the orders from back in October needed to be placed again because the system had the wrong SKU for the N900 for a while. The email they sent out to warn of this were confusing to say the least, along the lines of "we wanted to make sure you still want this product - contact us".

Correct SKU = 10208380
Wrong SKU = 6957363

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

1st thing is to give this a full charge.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yup.
If you got 5800 you're good to go lol just replace the batteries, charge the 'n900 battery' in the 5800

Instructions from Mugen Power Battery:
The first time, please charge the battery in the device for 12 hours using the mains power adapter. After fully charged, please use the device until the device tells you the battery is very low, then recharge. Repeat this process for 4-5 more times, where after you can recharge the battery whenever is suitable.
Important: NEVER drain the battery completely to 0%

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yup, and of course you can't rearrange until they've tried the original delivery, failed, and left a card with a number for you to call.

And then you get home quite late from work, so you miss the time window for calling to rearrange for the next day.

So it finally gets to you somewhere useful 2 days later, minimum. Later if the redelivery gets sent to the wrong address because they're terminally incapable of noting amendments like "downstairs flat, ..." and keep failing to deliver to the door where nobody is ever in, upstairs.

Which, by the way, means you don't get the card with the phone number and the secret redelivery code on it. I had to use Google and some URL-hacking-fu to figure out a way round that one...

At least, that's been my experience with the last delivery from Nokia...

Here's to an improved experience this time :D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Has it arrived then?

Mine is stuck on the M42 in the Rush hour. It had it's 'departure scan' from East Mids at 5:35. Allowing that it left shortly after that, it'll be lucky to make UPS Bodmin by lunch time. Though it's only got about 45 mins once it gets there.

I'm going to print out a page using the UPS logo to stick in the window telling the delivery driver to take it to the WOOL SHOP and not the charity shop. There'a already a notice on the door, but they seem able to ignore that. I might also drop a note through the charity shop door, asking them to tell any deliveries to go to the wool shop. ;)

Isn't it a shame they can't activate the GPS so we could watch our n900s actually travelling!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

my SKU - 10208380, plus i had the "item is stock and processing email"

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Would they would leave it next door if you left a note for them to sign.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

No not yet but is due this morning ,i dont think they can leave with anyone else .:confused:

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yes, but the terminals are usually quite far away, so you wouldn't want to.
