0800 331 6021 - as they might get it sooner then the shops, possibly.

Unfortunately it was nokia.co.uk :(

Apparantly, syncing with Google isnt' supposed to work in principle, and it seems to be patchy at best in practice.

THE RECEIVER WAS UNAVAILABLE TO SIGN ON THE 1ST DELIVERY ATTEMPT. A 2ND DELIVERY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE

ARRRRRGHHH!! I posted a fscking note on the door, a NOTE! Can UPS drivers not read!? I guess they only sign with a random scribble when they want to fscking steal your parcel. I was hoping to have something nice to play with on Sunday, but now I'll get nothing until Monday afternoon.

It's got to be at least as frustrating having one just within your grasp, as it is waiting to pick one up from NFS!

I'm going to sulk now.

sorry to hear that.
I had called UPS, call them before 6pm today in case you want to arrange to pick it up at their depot. The one I called in London closes at 8pm. I presume the rest would be same as well.

If not you could also collect it tomm from their depot ( 9am - 12pm )
They dont deliver weekends.

Anyways, Ive just heard my package was delivered to my concierge.
Waiting to get back to see if I have a deep fried mic or what else !

Thats harsh, I cant work out which is worse - knowing you have one but cant get to it, or still waiting for it to even be in stock for delivery...

Did Jon confirm that with you?

I popped in about 4pm and they said it will be on monday.. maybe.

They were out in force today showing off the N900 but it was running 41-12 and was running like a bucket of bolts, nothing worked. Bit pointless showing it off with old firmware.

While i was there i took the time to teach the guys an gals how it worked cos most of em didnt have a clue but to be fair they were just hired help.

Glad i cancelled my order now, will wait till its on general release.

What time were you there mate?

I was there a few times during the day loll

Yeah Jon confirmed via email that some people will have it tomorrow (those who have pre-ordered to buy simfree outright & paid ages ago) but the rest can pick up first thing Monday morning!

cpitchford 2009-11-27 23:18

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
when did he confirm this.. I pre-ordered ages ago.. and paid out-right! full amount!! Sim free and everything!!

Did he say the stock was in? Or due in tomorrow? how certain was he..

hmmm.. interesting!! Wonder if I should go camp outside tomorrow morning and look for lorries turning up! HA

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
I have been playing with my N900 for only 15 mins and boy, this is the best gadget ever. I own ipod touch gen 1 & 2 and its such a toy and probably ebay bound now. Wow wow wow.

Thank you Nokia. Thank you.

Give me liberty or give me death.

ps
mic works a charm, sorry nuknuk

Stock is in... Its what he said but I dunno tbh... Just hold out until Monday... easiest way :-)

DAMMIT! I get the weekend to play with gadgets, the week is work (how sad an existence) getting it on a monday is just teasing! I won't be able to transfer all my sms messages (apparently they don't sync so I need to write a tool) and I need them during the week. grrr

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Just hang on in there guys. Trust me, its worth the wait - truly groundbreaking in my view. The clock setting control is brill, truly whizzy. The video sample is incredible - the quality is a jaw dropper. I'll let you find out about the web browser.

The N810 will always be special but the N900 is at a whole new level. I wonder what the Maemo6 device will look like ?.

I just dont undertsand what the critics were on about, I just dont. This thing flogs Android, Pre and the iPhone - its like a mini computer. Truly ingenious this. Ingenious

Yep. I ordered 4 days ago and the order status is still saying 'item has not been dispatched'. I am really tempted to cancel the order because I am paying £500 for the phone and the dam thing still aint been shipped. Nokia are so flippin ungreatful, if only everyone canceled their orders then they would realise.

Ordered, or reordered?

I *reordered* 5 days ago now, and have been waiting since October, and have still heard **** all about when it's going to ship :mad:

For those who are picking up their phones from NFS today... Are you buying outright or on a contract?

Thanks...

Bunch of clowns man working down there. Why can't they just give us a flippin date. I been waiting since end of October but ordered on tuesday evening. The people on the phone are helpful as well. I told them I am going to cancel my order and the lady said "shall i cancel it for you now". Talk about valueing customers. lol.

The other thing is that when you try and find out when you will receive the phone, the person always says you are in a que. We know we are in a que just us the dam date. Sorry sir you are in a que.

Thats when you just think is it worth all this hastle for a phone? htc hd 2 here i come

For those caught up in the CC fiasco, the treatment you recieved is appaling. Saying that I ordered on 20/10 but included battery in my order and I will recieve it on Monday, so later than many Nokia preorders and by the looks of it some NFS preorderes. Saying that, I kept the code discounts so cant complain. Nokia and co's preorder performance has been terrible. Hopefully they will learn or else the release of Maemo 6 platform will be even less well recieved due to its broader appeal. When does the N900 go on standard sim-free release at the NFS?
