Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

ok i have just contacted someone who has been dealing with my order and he says that all orders who have changed to ready to dispatch should ship today if all goes to plan.

i jokingly asked if he would be please to see the back of us and he said, no offence but yes we would. i also said its been a bit of a disaster and he laughed.

Cheers for the reply. I requested my PAC last night from Vodafone and the girl quoted me 72hrs. Chased them about 10 minutes ago and the guy quoted me 48hrs, from request after I asked him to chase the transfers dept ;)

As has been said before, we don't have any info on whether you can use VoIP with an unlimited data bundle - it's possible, but it can use a LOT of data very quickly - this is why you can use it through the Broadband on your phone though

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.ph...dpost&p=231931

If you want to be able to make Skype calls over the 3G network however, we do require you to add the "Via the phone" broadband bundle to your price-plan. This gives you a 5GB data limit, so we know you'll have enough allowance each month to keep up with the Skype's data-hungry demands. By comparison, our normal flexi plans and data bundles have a Fair Usage Policy of 500MB before we start to consider your data usage to be higher than it should be. Skype would eat through that fairly quickly. Skype will not be available over our network without this bundle on your phone for that very reason.

http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.ph...dpost&p=189627

We don't havea data bundle that'll support and cover Skype for you I'm afraid - the reason for this is that Skype will try and get the best possible connection that it can, taking up more bandwidth and using a LOT more data - you'd use all of your data up very quickly this way

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

This is exactly the kind of news we need! Although MPD's plans never go well...!

Personally, I feel sorry for the MPD staff - its not their fault that their company can't communicate to them/their customers. They just took the brunt of all our annoyances... Although there were of course some staff members that needed some customer service training, but you get that in a lot of places.

I'll have someone at home off work tomorrow to receive it if it does ship today. What a great weekend present it would be! I may see if I can get home at lunch time and take it back to work...hmmm!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I got ready to dispatch! yeeeeeeeeees

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

When did you order:)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

October 8th :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Me too nearly hit the roof. Not been on the forum since i had a bad web chat with MPD staff the other day when some knitwit told 1-2 wks for deilvery. Don't you just love MPD, well not love but i don't hate them as much now!!:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

26th Oct by the way so it's coming close to Nov orders

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Did anyone who ordered late october got their status changed? :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

You must have been typing when i posted!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Cool, fingers crossed i hope they have loads of stock :<

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

22nd - t-mobile and my status has changed

patience mate - I think its happening now..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

lol yea xD

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I ordered 09/11/2009 16:20:37 and I'm pretty sure I will not be in the first batch but that doesn't stop me from going to MPD's order tracker every so often just in case.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I am 6th Oct and still 'pending stock'

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well I'm a december order because I had problems with my card and had to reorder... pftttttttttttttt

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hmm good that they started processing early morning unlike Nokia UK :/ they've got much time till 5.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Been reading the pages I've missed for the past 48 hours or so and it changed so only in the last 30mins, when did you order? They're probably going thro the list individually, fingers crossed

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

9th Nov :o lol

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Amen to that.

When I worked at a local ISP I BADLY needed training but they were completely useless. They would have group meetings for training and ask "what do you need to know?", well if I knew that I wouldn't NEED training would I!?

I was dealing with phone calls/tickets every day not knowing if it was a subject I should have known and be able to respond to, or something outside of what customer support was supposed to be providing. In the end they got rid of me as I could not fob people off the phone quick enough when they demanded to see a manager and our policy was not to do so (which I believe is illegal actually).

All in all, it was aweful as I always consider myself a fairly knowledgeable guy, but if you work somewhere with poor training - there is not a lot you can do about it.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ordered 20/10, ready for dispatch

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

That must be an oversight, you order nearly 3 weeks before me. I'd ring them they may have just not updated your tracker page.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

F5 F5 F5 C'mon MPD! :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

just thought i'd let you all know, i just cancelled my order as im sick of MPD and dont want to be associated with them. Dont get me wrong, i still REALLY REALLY REALLY want an n900, im just too proud to give them my money. (might move one of you up the que you never know)

i was also cheeky and ask for you guys.. they confirmed to me that many of you will recieve this tomorrow as they will be sent today (just thought i'd ask for you guys)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Now the race is on for the first shipping notice :D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

ordered 30/10 - ready for despatch!!! :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I never understand people who cancel because they are "too proud".

The problems I have had with companies, if I were that proud I wouldn't own anything. Roughly 99% of businesses are garbage, or at least doing something morally wrong. But its silly to cut off your nose to spite your face, you just have to live with it or go live in a cave away from capitalist society.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Maybe I have a chance, they do seem to be moving through the dates quite quickly

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I ordered 30th Oct and mines coming today.


Nokia UK online with Express.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

OMG, just had a shock.. Ready for Dispatch, ordered on 15/10 :)
Very cool - via MPD of course

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I can safely say i will never pre-order anything again, the waiting is hell..............2.5 months waiting and being dissappointed but this mornings "ready for despatch" has made me almost forget all the annoyance and replace it with excitement. Hope the phone isn't an anticlimax when i get it!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

As I know you in the real world, I will be constantly winding you up with my N900 amazingness when I see you this weekend... :P

Did you manage to cancel by phone okay?

Cheers for the info about shipping today! I can't wait.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

More importantly who'd gonna be the first MPD customer receive it first?? Don't have work till 2pm tomorrow and my post comes between 8-10am, but I'm in South Yorks?

Plus who's gonna be the first with mic problems and has to send it back?? Looks like there were loads in the first batch that can't make phone calls. WTF

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

well that and the press release from nokia yesterday - only releasing a maemo "computer" on maemo 6 next year..

i dont trust nokia to not dump support for this device as soon as they've filled their orders.

my friend bought an n97, its taken from june until november for a firmware update which has fixed none of the issues with his phone

Nokia also said that they will be focusing on symbian next year, with a completely new UI and structure to surface in Q2 2010.

I wouldnt b suprised if they move the maemo distro into the netbook market like Google has done with chrome and is doing with android.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

hey, I'm in South Yorkshire too (Sheffield)! I've gotta work tomorrow but my wife will be at home most of the morning so I'm hoping she'll be there when the postman comes.

Hope that this batch is not the same as the first batch and they don't have the same mic problems

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

As they are sending them Special Delivery, it shouldn't make any difference where in the country we are - they are all guaranteed Next Day. Its all down to if MPD actually get them in the post today or not.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

lol i hope your mic doesnt work :P - especially after googling "mpd after sales reviews" yesterday.. about 90% of them were appauling lol

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thing is, how much "support" do we need? They'll do us some firmware updates which they've already promised and we've got the clever dev community! There's not really that much wrong with it anyway...

N97 - same story as all Nokia mobiles. N95 and N96 were both awful when they started life. They needed multiple firmware updates. My N96 works like a dream now... Its just not MY dream!

Nokia will definitely release a Maemo 6 smartphone/computer next year - they'd fail as a company if they didn't carry on taking the fight to the iphone/smartphone industry...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

depends when they actually dispatch :) - might not do it until tomorrow ;) hehehe
