Post race then! Think I might bribe the postman, he doesn't live too far away from me. Everyone needs extra cash around xmas Looks like there are quite a few from South Yorks

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm 16th Oct and I'm still pending stock :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

T-mobile or Vodafone? I'm wondering whether they processed them based on contract as well.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly.

Fantastic news that you now have the N900, will it be shipping today for those of us with ready for despatch as the status?
Webshop Customer Help says:

JDR says:
for delivery tomorrow?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

T mobile............

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Still think they haven't updated some pages. You know how useless they are with that. They had due late Nov in December for god sake. Wouldn't worry. Did you PAC your old number or have any problems early on?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

T-mobile too on 18month contract so thats that out of the window.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Any news on the MPD cloaked NRS?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I was with Virgin- got the PAC and had it replaced when it ran out.. but I'm told i don't have to do anything with it until i get my phone

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Exactly. With Nokias track record of support it is the open-source nature of the N900 that makes it so promising.

If Nokia do their usual trick of not delivering what they promised, there is a reasonable chance someone will hack the feature in anyway.

Also I can't see them ditching the N900 quite that soon, as the 5800XM is still getting firmware updates and that has been out a while now.

They are also at serious risk now of of alienating all their fans, as they release buggy after buggy device. Granted, the N900 doesn't sound too bad but people will see its feature-incomplete state is the same as a buggy device. So unless they add the functionality to the N900 people expect (or the community does), who is going to trust them on their next device?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yeah mine's 18 month as well. why is it out the window?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers

Page changed :/

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Because I've had my tracker changed to ready for despatch and I ordered 26th Oct on the same contract. So that's not the reason why yours hasn't been changed.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

They seriously better not ditch it... release a bleeding edge device then forget about it? This is where nokia always goes wrong... always looking to make another incarnation of the same hardware, forgetting the rest of us...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Why this insistence on five days? If they dispatch them today, surely we will receive them tomorrow? Or are they still planning to send them out in batches as had been suggested (e.g. 200 a day or something like that)?

BTW, what does 'ready to despatch' actually mean? Does it just mean that they have received stock or that they are boxed/packaged and ready to be thrown on the Royal Mail truck? ;)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

What changed?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

WTF, it's supposed to be 'Next Day delivery' that's why it costs £3.99. 5 days? That must be for new customers. Have they done the update to shut us up?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The former, if they were boxed and ready to throw on the truck I am pretty sure we would also have been charged.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Probably just giving us something to hope for... And yeah, I think it must be in batches. I mean, they can't be expected to dispatch 100s of phones on one day..?!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

oh i see... bugger

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yeah i think it's for late and new orders, not Sept-Oct preorders.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm on T-mobile 18m months and ordered a day before you, 15/10. Mine is ready for dispatch. Hope you guys see the same thing soon!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Exactly. I assume they have now received a batch, assigned to sequence of orders (hence Ready For Dispatch status) and now getting into the process of charging individual orders and dispatching them. That's at least what I suppose is happening, knowing how eCommerce business roughly works from inside.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Where is this 5 day thing coming from?

There's no reason they couldn't ship them all out today... There is also reasons why they couldn't though! Lol.

I hope they aren't trying to shut us up! We've definitely paid for next day delivery...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Does depend if they do actually have it in stock - they may be pre-empting to shut us up for a few days :)

But i'd guess anyone with ready to despatch means they should get it sooner - all a guess. Waiting for the first "I've got mine post" would be helpful if anyone who does get it posts their order date and contract type :) - so we all get a clear idea!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Anyone a Nov order had their "Ready for Despatch" yet. That might be the first batch for deliveries Sept and Oct? Not many in Sept from previous posts and most seem to be Nov orders as the word of N900 on contract has spread. Fingers crossed eh.

Went into my local CPW and Phones4U and the sales ppl didn't even know what the N900 was and tried to sell me crappy X6. Just laughed!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Really? My N96 is a complete dog even though I'm all up to date. Constant reboots, mystery occasional battery running flat in 12 hours despite no apps running, unable to stay connected to via wifi for longer than 5 minutes, completely unable to download a podcast via 3G the list goes on. I will be SO glad to get shot of it tomorrow....

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Really?! You running v30? That's all very very odd... Its not the most slick thing in the world, but I'm getting 2 days usage (fairly heavy) without charge. Lots of apps installed (it helped that I hacked it for software of course)...

Oh - and where has this 5 days thing come from? I can't see it on the website...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Will do, never had an afternoon post before, but there's always a first.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Woohoo

Status
Ready For Despatch

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think even the September pre-orders are probably looking at tomorrow morning at the earliest. I can't believe they will be any orders despatched this morning and people receiving them this afternoon...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

congrats, I ordered on the 19th of November...vodafone upgrade, hope its ready for dispatch today!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

They've put allow 5 days for delivery on below link.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Oh god! Don't let me down :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Clearly they've been too busy designing snow flakes for their site rather than keeping customers informed :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

This isn't good news - well...it is for you of course! But it makes me think that EVERYONE is going to have their status changed to ready for despatch... I wonder whose will actually get shipped. They must be up to the 500 mark now if they're through to November. They've taken around 700 pre-orders. All this coming from Southampton... Royal Mail would need a truck!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

excellent- well, i hope that they've just taken a bunch of orders up to the amount that they can ship today and done them randomly otherwise I'm stuffed for some reason

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Ok, it looks like even the November orders are getting the same status message, so the question now is in what quantities are they going to be sending them out? From what I understand there have been about 700-800 pre-orders of the device. Is it realistic that they would get all those out in the same day or are we looking at this stretched over a few days?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No - that would be nonsense...

They ship after 3pm (we know that from their delivery page).

Royal Mail Special Delivery is next day...

They'll ship them in order of order being placed... Maybe Royal Mail will have a limit to how many they will take in one go?
