Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Lesson learned here..

If you find a loop hole, dont email the company and expose it!!!

Muppets.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

i was about to order two for mine but the codes are not working F**k F**k wtf when our turn comes nokia F**ked the discount codes F**k off NOKIA
it isnt fair....

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

when I tried it two codes worked one did not.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

when did u tried

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Well, its ok for those that did...unless they cancel them. ****

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

+1
ruined it for everyone else - the 15% off still works, but £424 is still to much, so a contract looks the way to go, and then find a way to unlock it...

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

just tried the only discount code that worked

SOCUK15

and ordered one for 424 GBP assuming I can cancel it later if Nokia decides to stay quiet on the release date even after the end of this month ;)

Just to check again, I tried using the discount code again and it didnt work.
So I guess I was the last one to get it or one of the last.

do you guys really think Nokia would honour this price , or would they contact us again before shipping it to let us know they cant give the discount ;)

Thank you all for sharing this info in this forum.
424 GBP is not a bad price after all for this unlocked phone.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Yesterday about 3:30. They must have been in the process of removing them. Tried this morning and the UK Nokia site says the N900 is unavailable to order, even with no codes.What a muppet emailing them! DOH!

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

It is a shame that the offer went but it was inevitable. Whether the email to Nokia triggered it or not is just conjecture. I think the sudden spike of people buying N900 using codes may have peeked Nokias interest. That being said I think they will honor the price of those who already bought otherwise they wouldn't have tried so swiftly to remove the code bug and simply have stated at a later date that using multiple codes is a violation.

Anyhow for those who don't have a contract the mobilephonesdirect deal is pretty sweet since the phone is already unlocked supposedly (confirmed earlier in the thread and also by a convo I had with them). With the 34.26 a month deal with t-mobile it comes out at 616.68 pounds. With all the Nokia codes the best price for the N900 was 255 pounds. So you have 361.68 left for a contract. The t-mobile solo with unlimited internet is 20 pounds a month that comes to 360 pounds over an 18 month period. So all in all you pay an extra 1.68 pounds p.a for a contract which offer you an extra 100 mins a month. Plus you don't pay for handset upfront. Of course you are tied in for 18 months but nothing is ever free. Obviously for those in contract this is no good but for people without it should be fine.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Dude I seem to be able to order it. Fair enough none of the codes work.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

must have got rid of the codes an brought it back online then. You can still get the 10% cashback though?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Sorry chaps and chappets if I alerted them.

We all knew it was too good to be true, so it would have happened eventually.

I hope that the few lucky ones who got there orders in at that price have them honoured.

I suspect though with it being on several websites and confirmed by Nokia, the number of orders would have been overwhelming.

Actually just did a quick search, it was on nokiausers.net, my-symbian, hotukdeals, AVForums, overclockers.co.uk. So I think they would have to be blind to miss the hundreds of orders and of course it would have run out today anyways.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Yea I believe you can still get the 10% cashback. Also if you get a contract from MPD through topcashback you get 30 pounds. not great but still better than nothing.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I must admit I'm picking up my n900 for £379, i thought it was quite a bargain. It's already tracking nicely on quidco too. You guys think it was a good deal?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

dont know if its some random date.
I got a mail about my order and it stated


"Order Date: 21-10-2009

Anticipated Ship Date: 3 to 4 weeks

Backordered Item: Qty Prod. Description

1 Nokia N900 "

do any of you have similar dates in your order from nokia uk ?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

More or less identical.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Dude that is still a good deal. What exactly did you do? I know quidco do 10% on Nokia as well.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

3 to 4 weeks is what it said when I ordered mine on 3rd September.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I should have known :p
But thanks for letting me know.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

I got the same on my order, either thats when our pre-order will be fulfilled or more likely just what they always put. I have read before that 3-4 weeks was stated on the email.
I think despite all the rumours on when these will appear we can be fairly certain it will arrive in the next 3 weeks, Possibly as early as the end of this week. We have been told for a long time by Nokia that in some markets it will start to ship in October. I know also from historic reports on phone releases that Nokia Shop UK definitely does get the phones on their first release and usually fulfils all the orders on the day of release. I haven't heard of people historically talking about being in particular batches of phones for Nokia shop while you do get such conversations on the release of a product from expansys, I suspect that Nokia can tailor the production to meet the known orders at their store. Anyway thats my hope!
I went for free delivery so I will know when it gets in the post several days before it arrives unlike those unlucky souls who get little time to prepare for the arrival of their new device!
I am betting that it will appear at my door second week of November.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Sorry to drag off topic but cant PM yet. fnordianslip I see you have a sheevaplug in among your relics. What do you think of it?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Well track the order on Qudico = 10% + code AFFuk15 = 15% total 25% Off!!! that works out to £124 off the price of the phone so i'm a pretty happy bunny. Now apparently they N900's have started shipping too.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

There are a limited number of new Hutchinson 3G SIM cards that require a specific technical SIM card support in the mobile device. Nokia N900 has not originally been designed to support this operator requirement. As soon as we found out about this requirement, we started to work on the solution. A software update for the Nokia N900, estimated to be available by the end of this year, will fix this issue.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Can someone please tell me why people on here insist on posting bs.

The above posters has no evidence to support his "claim" but yet he's willing to speculate :mad:

Knowing full well we are all waiting uncomfortably for this device!

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

The AFFUK15 does not work for me either from quidco or topcashback. Saying that SOCUK15 works from both. Also spotted this on quidco: "The voucher code offered excludes pre-order phones." Dont know if this a recent addition or has always been there.

Tried the MYNOKUK15 code too. That works but you cant use more than one code at any one time. It seems the best you will get is 15% off plus 10% cashback from quidco or topcashback. Looks like they plugged the bug.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

There are reports on this website that the N900's were shipping in Glasgow to people with pre orders. Sorry to re itterate that...

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

So glad I did my order straight after I cancelled the first one.
They said leave 24 hours before doing the order again, I thought no way Nokia were up to something.

N900 + Extra Battery
Sub Total: £524.00
Discount: £202.20
Delivery Cost:
Express (1-3 days) £9.99
Total: £331.79 (This order includes £43.28 VAT)

sweet deal :-) I keep checking on the order status to check it still there. Still find it hard to believe £200+ discount on a brand new phone. I now get to keep my great old flext account with discount.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

How did you get it so damn cheap?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Got the order in when all 3 discount codes were working :-). Really looking forward to the phone even more. As soon as I see it posted I placed order it was only a matter of time before Nokia clocked on.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

bah humbug, I guess i didnt do too bad getting it at £379.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Ouch, end of the year! So I'll have my N900 but be unable to use it with my existing data contract for a while... *feeling the pain already*

Glad to hear it's a software update and not a hardware update, though. Phew!

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Mid-Nov release now apparently, fingers crossed they can get the software update done for that deadline so people with those sim cards can use the phone straight away. One can at least hope...

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Is anyone apart from MPD offering this phone yet???
I am having alot of trouble ordering online from them and they have suggested trying one of their stores, but none are near me.....
You can't order one over the phone via MPD - online only
I have been on the T-Mobile and Vodofone sites, but they are not listing the n900 yet?

Where else has anyone seen a n900 with contract?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

How new? My SIM card is from 2007. Does that mean I am safe?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Is it just me or has mobilephonesdirect pulled all the t-mobile options from the site, I can only see vodafone?

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

Same here. The only two tabs showing are View all Networks :confused: & vodafone. The T-Mobile tab is gone.

I had the T-mobile plans in my browser history, page now returns Your search query has returned no results. Please try an alternative search.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 

They removed the t mobile option because they have reached the limit for t mobile contracts on n900 anyone who got in before then you will still receive it.
