No its not (and I wish people would stop saying it!) Nokia.co.uk is run by Nokia and Nokiaretail.co.uk is run by MPD.

Isn't that what he also said? At least that's how I read it.

i.e.
Nokia = nokia.co.uk
MPD = nokiaretail.co.uk & mobilephonesdirect.co.uk

Nokia.co.uk is THE NOKIA lol and nokiaretail is the actual retailer for NOKIA but MPD is the only website advertising it... if you check, MPD directs you to nokiaretail.co.uk

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
I just spoke with a representative of Nokia Shop (shop.nokia.co.uk) asking about when to expect delivery of a preordered item.

I didn't mention N900 or give my order number - he asked straight away "is that for an N900?" :-D

Anyway, he said all the preorders are being shipped today and Monday, and that I'll get an email when it is shipped.

As I have ordered express delivery, it should take "1 working day", whatever that means in practice.

Needless to say, I haven't received an email yet. But then, I was rather late in the queue, ordering only 1 month ago :-)

It's not surprising people get confused. The two sites use identical colour schemes and UI graphics. Just compare the two:

http://shop.nokia.co.uk/
http://nokiaretail.co.uk/

When I first looked yesterday, I had to check the "About" link to find out they are not just different sites to the same company.

If they didn't have some kind of franchise/licensing arrangement, nokiaretail.co.uk would have been sued for ripping off the graphics and passing themselves off as a Nokia clone....

True, but only for the last two weeks.
When i pre-ordered in sept - MPD had their own ordering pages separate to Nokia Retail :) - but being the same beast, it makes sense to sell on the same page :)

Youll all have to excuse me if I reserve my excitement for now. ( Nokia induced pessimism ).
