hmmm static electricity
brought my memory back to the school days doing this experience
how they asked us to step on a bunch of plastic trays then touch the 'magic ball'

plastic trays you say? isn't the N900 mainly made of plastic? no metal on the body i believe
hmm could static electricity and n900 issues be related? :rolleyes:

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Likewise, sans the addition of a delivery date. I wonder if mine will get updated this evening. Isn't it wonderful to share the joyous experience of waiting. I've been doing the same on the bleedin' Macrumors forums.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

at least you guys who ordered from nokia.co.uk know where yours are us from the NFS are in limbo

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Exactly and its taking the friggin piss! Different things being told to different people!

Is anyone actually gonna pay a visit down to NFS tomorrow?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Canceled my order with NFS, going to wait till the next batch of phones come and hopefully avoid the problems afflicting some.

Dont want to have to go through nuknuk's pain, will wait till its in store so i can test it first.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

You cancelled?

What happened to nuknuk?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

This did....

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

i cant as im at work tomorrow its really gratting me now as i was sold this phone on the premise of it being available this week and now not a peep out of anyone at that store its like they are avoiding me or something

ok they may not have them in yet fair enough but if a single person can track a order online surely they can track their delivery online in much the same way just some info is better than none

and to think i wrote a glowing email about jon yesterday and now today i dont hear a peep out of him since there was mention of the phone not being available till next week

NOT HAPPY

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

To be honest, I've been hammering them through the day to get an update and no-one knows anything for sure.

I'll wait until Monday otherwise I'm jumping ship.

Gonna see what he can throw in to stop me cancelling!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

sounds like a good tactic if i dont hear anything by the time they close tonight then im gona pester them loads tomorrow i can understand delays but a solid date is all i want thats all just a date i dont really expect it tomorrow on me doorstep or anything like that i just want to know when i should expect to get it

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

You are getting it from NFS right?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

just spoke to regent st, told me that the phones are being held by customs and will still be with them on monday:mad: (how can anyone tell you when customs will release something, I don't know) but the phones will also be supplied with a freeheadset. http ://shop.nokia.co.uk/nokia-uk/product.aspx?sku=4005600&culture=en-GB.
Nice gesture, but if anyone uses a headset of this type, what's the likelyhood of you needing another one, ebay for me I think

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I don't care how wrong / right you might be, in a way I can see where you are coming from, and with your advice out there I'm going to be following it if I ever get my baby

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

yeah although they are psoting it out to me as i live a fair way from the store so know to expect it a day or so after its "released"

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

let us know how you get on with that one, and good luck!!!!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Thanks.

About to make a final illfated call to them (for today at least :p)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

hammer them for a date tell them we will fight them lol we just want our phones

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

lol here's a little titbit of info for everyone:

Spoke to someone just now at NFS & he said they're expecting them tomorrow but not confirmed...

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Oh no, don't do this to me. Now I'm going to be hoping, when I know better. You better be right... lol

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

yeah talk about leaving us in suspence all i want to know now is IF they get it tomorrow can they pull their finger out and stick it in the post to me tomorrow and if so will it get delivered by royal mail on sat?????

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I swear they're doing this on purpose and Nokia UK are having a little fun with us suckers... I mean consumers lol

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

see i feel like i am getting laughed at along with the rest of us it seems like if you didnt order direct from nokia dn you are not filling there pockets with cash directly then they dont care how long you have to wait for your phone and vodafone and tmobile(for those lucky few) aint gona mind cos they know they are getting cash out of you month after month for 12/18/24 months so they dont really care when you get your phone either

the whole thing stinks i just hope to god that my phone lives up to what i hope it will be and that it aint boken in anyway otherwise i will not be a happy bunny

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

That's not it. It's demand, rather than money based, I think. NOS has run out of stock already. I know this because I have no idea when my (reordered) N900 will arrive now. None at all. Not even a "next week reassurance".

If they don't have enough stock to cover their own orders, how can they be filling everyone else's?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

So I called Nokia and proceeded to order an N900 - which they said was in stock and I could receive in two days. When I gave them my credit card #, they told me there was a problem with my card and to call my bank... which I did.

There was NO problem with my card, so I called Nokia back and told them I wanted the phone. They then replied that my name had now been entered into their Fraud Prevention System and I couldn't order for 3-5 days.

Sounds more like a Sales Prevention System to me.

After waiting for this device for 4 months, and all the countless delays - this just seems like the ultimate insult. WTF is wrong with Nokia?

I have a very sour taste in my mouth - and it's not jsut the cranberry sauce.

Welcome to the club, Steve. Nice to have you!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Scheduled Delivery Date: 27/11/2009

Fingers crossed it doesn't come too late, or I'll be well on my way to Essex.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

That is funny (not in a good way) given that quite a lot of customers got rejected because of the way Nokia processed the pre-orders (i.e. badly) it triggered fraud rules at the banks.

Do you think they need to learn how to process transactions correctly?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

yeah they need to learn how to process transactions correctly, how to NOT drive customers away & how to keep customers happy...

the three things that can make or break a company!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Hey guys I hope you are having great time with you N900's (from nokia.co.uk). I have had couple of phone calls today asking about MPD, I had to tell them we cant give any information if you need to ask about your orders from you have to call Southampton as they deliver online orders. We were supposed to get it today but there is a slight delay, every store get it on monday-tuesday and deliveries should start than. Including MPD -www.nokiaretail.co.uk. If anything else feel free to ask, we are allowed to give information :)

Steve.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Thanks very much for this, I am waiting for my N900 from MPD, glad to see it will be next week

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Wow dude! Thanked 26 times in 24 posts :eek:. Thats something

Just to clarify, Can I buy (without a preorder) an N900 on T-Mobile contract on monday-tuesday?

Or are they still dishing out pre-order stock?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

I pre ordered ages ago, then cancelled and reordered when the PAYG version was £392.

It still shows 'new' and not 'pending stock' like some, what's the chances of getting it next week with the other pre orders from MPD?

Hi,

do you know anything about this:

which is based on this:

which says this:

I'm wondering if this is just journalistic Chinese whispers, or if there's some meat to the implied story of Nokia delaying for further firmware updates?

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

So mine is in:
TAMWORTH, GB 26/11/2009 21:29 ARRIVAL SCAN

Will be in manchester in my hands tomorrow morning apparently!!!

If there is a static problem with n900

when u recieve yr device TAKE BATTERY OUT AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR 15SEC OR SO, ONLY THAN U CAN BE SURE OF NO STATIC AN U CAN PLACE SIM BATERY AND FIRE IT UP FIRST TIME!!!

WILL SEE WHEN I GET MINE

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Hi I have ordered my n900 and for 3 days still saying 'item not shipped'. Called them today and they said your order is still pending.
Anyone know whether i have a chance of receiving it next week?

Just to add if Orane don't sell this phone can they still send me their 3g/wap settings as I have 500mb of data on my contract?

Thanks

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

All recent Nokias have all settings 'built in' you can just select it from a list as far as i remember.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

n900 doesn't use wap but your device will pick up all the connection details it needs from your sim card. :)

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Yes I will get mine on tuesday latest.


You wont be able to buy it T-Mobile before 2010 mate. There still is pre-order option available on the web site. Once we have it in our stocks that will change to "Order now" or something like that :).

"Thanks" part is what you get if you actually help people and clarify question marks on peoples head. :)



You will have to contact with Southampton. They are not answering the calls due to high call rates. But the status will change once it is out for delivery as the some others got "Pending PAC" status, so probably you will get yours next week too.


Steve.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Heh, snap! Left Barking 18:47? I have:
BARKING, GB 26/11/2009 18:47 DEPARTURE SCAN

Thank goodness for this forum, BTW. If I was relying on shop.nokia.co.uk I wouldn't have a clue where it was - I used the add-01-for-reference-number posted by someone here at the ups site.

The email I got from shop.nokia said:

Your package was shipped via Standard (3-5 days). You may track your
package by clicking on the link below. If you do not see a link, copy
and paste this entire URL onto your browser's address bar:
Click here to track package
<http://shop.nokia.co.uk/nokia-uk/tracking.asp> (which is a nonexistent page)

and later (honestly, I am cutting and pasting this from the mail I received)

Given the phone number they provide and the url they provide, what chance would I have with the email address?! :confused::D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 

Thanks for that RevdKathy. I was worried that Orange may need to have specific settings for the n900. But it should be okay now. Just gotta sit and wait like everyone else.
