At the very least I expect a shipping email from MPD, what would be sweet is if the postman woke me up with a very special delivery and MPD had been too busy posting n900's to have emailed me yesterday

Look

The charge your account is a separate part of the process but I'm going to stop there.

Because it's clear people will want me to be wrong and dispute my information just to semi comfort themselves in what seems like a never ending wait for the N900

But I promise you this. That wait will be extended for a healthy portion of those who ordered through mpd.

fahad65 They are a retailer who's ultimate goal is to sell sell sell.

Just check Experian and you'll see.

@ chrisp7

yeah me too. However all were done with phones that were in stock. If you really believe they have then disregard my experience/advice.

However lets say they do each credit check on the day!

and the credit check itself takes 5-10 minutes as you say!

And going off mpd's quota of 500 tmobile/voda contracts

You see the logistical math formulating?

You're looking at 25-50 hours on credit checks alone. forget everything else involved with the shipping process...

& Royal mail close at what time?

Anyways you can will me wrong as much as you please but come D day. A lot of you guys will be refreshing maemo.org pissed or perhaps in tears.

While others will be enjoying that linux based goodness

And i'll be here quoting myself saying I told you so

25 hours for a credit check? Yet networks can do them instantly? I works for currys and even we do credit checks for all networks other than o2 and 99% give a result 30 seconds after checking

For heavens sake. You think a company like Nokia/MPD have to do a credit check one-by-one. You dont think theres an automated system that checks people concurrently.
Whats up with the people on this forum!

Just wait for the fun and games when people actually get the N900...

Re: N900 UK Networks
 
Im really not sure what to do. I would like to wait until the N900 hits the shops then I can have a look around and find the best offer. But i dont want to miss out on the first load of units shipped to pre-orders cus then shops might not get anymore stock for a while.

Is MPD the only place I can pre-order a contract N900? Also if I was to pre-order it on contract how would it work? I assume the contract would not start until they ship the phone to me? Does that mean I can cancel my contract pr-order before that date? I dont wanna get locked into a MPD deal if I end up having to wait weeks and a better deal comes up.

I just spoke to a guy at nokia direct sales and he seemed adamant that it will be shipping to pre-orders by the end of the week. I wonder if that also means MPD pre-orders?

Have many people pre-ordered theres through MPD? It looks like MPD is the only option if I want it on contract.
