Apparently (from a friend who works in a voda shop) you have to really take the piss to get over billed if you're on the 500mb 'unlimited' tariff. what they want to stop is people hooking the £5 phone interent up to their laptop then hitting bittorrent.

99.9% no stock til monday? What, is this £300,000 delivery (600x£500) being sent by bloody 1st class royal mail?!

If the logistics company picked up the shipment, they could probably tell them to the hour when it was due..

grrrrr

Didn't I read somewhere (probably one of nirave's blogs, please don't bite my head off again!) that NFS, Nokia Retail and MFD are all the same company pretty much? Which leaves us all in the same shitty sinking boat. Man, I'm in a bad mood today, must be bcos i haven't got my damn phone!

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Maybe someone should ask NFS outright about the tracking information - see if they actually have tracking info or if they're just making stuff up?

Ha.. hahahaha.. that would be awesome.. "it's 3 miles away.. next wednesday it is then! I suspect they wouldn't tell you if they did know.. and I suspect they don't know..

Maybe they got carded.. "We tried to deliver your 600 handsets but you weren't in... phone this number or collect from the depot"

Most Nokia Stores except for London Flagship are run by MPD. MPD = Nokia retail. Contracts in Flagship London Stores are done by MPD/NokiaRetail guys/

Didn't mean to bite your head off earlier, accept my sincere apology!

As for what I'm going to get instead... IF I cancel the pre-order, I'm jumping ship from Nokia. I've realised Nokia can't do a f****** thing right!

Is that good or bad tho? They maybe sorting out orders

Or more likely they may have all quit bcos we've been hounding them so much that they've all had nervous breakdowns.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
yeah the contract guys in NFS can sell the stock that NFS are getting for contracts and dont have to wait for the MPD stock to get in thats why i ordered from NFS not nokiaretail/MPD

Not in London, so had no choice. So I'm screwed bascially.

If it's not here next week, I'm cancelling and seeing what the New Year brings, X10 looks promising.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Now its changed from it'll be in monday to it'll be in sometime early next week...

Spoke to the same woman (I used a different voice) & it looks like different people told different things...

Gonna pay a visit down to the store later... Gonna go mental on them!

Haha, that would be so funny. Do it and post a video blog. It could be titled, Man baby goes Gaga for N900.

From my experience the only way they get funny with you about going over is if you use HUGE amounts over i.e. 1gb over & even then mostly if you are using it tethered to your laptop

tempeted to look at the HD2 or even the n97 mini instead of this thing now anyone else got any other suggestions instead of the n900

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Don't think I'm bothered to wait until Monday anymore. X10 does look interesting and the Milestone/Droid is not too bad a phone

The mini isn't great.

I don't particularly like it.

If I cancel my pre-order, I'm likely to wait until January for the X10.

Going to head down to NFS in about half hour and consider my options from there...

Will get there in 1.5 hours (anyone wanna join me?)

Is he works for flagship store or it includes all pre-orders online?

Wish I could. Do us a favour, if you don't mind!

Ask for the manager (I think his name was David?) and see if he will confirm absolutely monday for collection. When he won't, ask him what changed from yesterday and whether he'd be willing to offer refunds for all the people promised a monday collection date..
