Thank you for contacting Nokia Care.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay in responding to your email. We have been facing technical difficulties with our system and have just managed to retrieve your email.

Nokia Retail is under Nokia. The release date of N900 is by the end of November 2009.
etc etc

so I thought maybe a little status change would make a difference hehe

Hi I thought I'd register just to let you know that I preordered mine from Nokia.co.uk last week and also called and spoke to them on Friday. The response I got was that they were physically in their warehouse as of last week. The people who ordered a while ago should be getting theirs sent on Monday and the rest will be towards the middle of the week.

Yikes, I was beginning to think I was the only person who used Mandriva.
:) Been using it since Mandrake 6.1 - I'm running 2008.1 on the machine at home and 2009.0 in a VM on the machine I use at work. Looking forward to scripting all sorts of goodies in Python when my N900 arrives.

Seriously considering switching to Debian so that I can get the Maemo 5 SDK on my main machine,
Can't think of any reason why the SDK wouldn't run under Mandriva. I haven't had time to get it set up and tested yet, but I'll make some notes available as and when I do.

Anyway, getting back on topic for a moment...

In other news, I am really hoping MPD were being pessimistic and they get stock next week. When they said delayed to mid-November I never expected them to miss my birthday (27th) entirely and end up in December. They are still claiming late November on Nokia Retail, I never knew Dec 3rd was late November, idiots!
That's what I'm hoping, that they've said December 3rd to give themselves some breathing space, so they can get on with actually dispatching peoples orders instead of answering the phone and/or live chat all the time.

I think that there are a whole load of people here hoping that is the case - myself included...

Can't believe I still have 11 day to wait - so much for exclusive and first...

Im sure they have different staff dealing with enquiries to the ones dealing with deliveries.

Tomorrow should be interesting anyway.

This is good news :) if Nokia has is in their warehouse then all the other sellers should be stocking as we speak so we all should receive n900's during the week (fingers crossed) :D

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
The Vodaphone coming soon page is a big fat waste of time.

Thats gonna be my path for getting at the n900 as I dont have the initial outlay of 500 smackers this near to Xmas. Thats if Vodafone are actually gonna get it before Xmas that is...

fruitbat88 2009-11-22 18:37
Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
STEMFOUR!!

Ignore the coming soon page,
I've pre ordered my N900 through the nokia store in regent street (by Phone) as an upgrade on vodafone for £90, which I didn't think was too bad, £35 a month

PhilE 2009-11-22 18:46
Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Likewise - my current Vodafone contract ended on October 24th. I ordered my N900 from MPD on the 25th as an upgrade. Up front cost was 73 GBP on a 35 GBP per month 18 month contract. Don't leave off ordering one just because you can't get it from Vodafone.

Actually, do leave off ordering one, that way I might get mine quicker... :p

You think that's bad? They stole a 2k watch when they couldn't deliver when I wasn't at home :(

fruitbat88 2009-11-22 19:38
Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Was going to order mine for MPD too but they took the upgrade option off their web site about a week before my upgrade (17 November):mad:

patstew 2009-11-22 19:45
Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Why upgrade if it's 70-90 upfront and £35 a month for 18 months? When I ordered from MPD I got it free on £30 a month for 18 months. Surely they haven't got that much worse, and an upgrade ought to be cheaper, no?

Lack off Customer loyalty, they're more interested in getting in new customers rather than looking after and keeping present costomers

Was "left if somewhere else" back at the depot?

Surely you can't expect them to leave it somewhere else. If everyone did that then they'd never finish. Anyone could put the sign there (unless it was on the inside of the window). You could claim you never signed for it and they stole it, the driver would be in all sorts of trouble. Personally if I was the driver, to cover my back I'd put it back on the van.

Anyhow, please send me a dispatch email tomorrow Nokia.

Me too! Ordered in september on MPD - Vodafone. £30 per month - free fone, unlimited data/texts :) - sounds like they changed it

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
I've also ordered off MPD on vodafone.

2 year contract, 25+ web, 300 mins +unlimited text, 13 quid up front.

I'm on voda now on an e90 and my contract is ending on 24th dec so I'm going to get my pac code, bounce the number over to a orange sim for a week then bounce it back to voda on my N900.

No. I have a notice saying 'Please take parcels to the wool shop for collection/ signing' - the lady there is authorised to sign for me. Instead they left it at the charity shop, which has different volunteers daily who are not authorised to sign for me. Added to which the shop is only open 10-4 and I work 9-5. The lady at the wool shop lives over the shop, so I can collect even if I work late (or she'll drop stuff round and stop for a cuppa). The charity shop is locked over night.

No-one else has ever complained that taking parcels to the wool shop is a problem. Had they taken it back to the depot, I could have rung and told them to deliver it to the wool shop the next day. Leaving it at the Charity shop was a nightmare. Not to mention that they always moan and complain about it.

Something appropriately British, since this is our very own thread.

Meet outside Nokia's head office and hold a tea party? Find a few hundred people to strike with banners and rude slogans? Discuss the weather instead? Hunt Nokia employees with hounds... Oh no, that's illegal now. Phone them up and politely ask fo more information? Tell Anne Robinson (You ARE the weakest link...)

Hopefully some of us will get shipping emails tomorrow. By no means all as they are dispatching in order.

And no, mass collective suicide is decidedly UN-British.

Apologies then, silly UPS :p. Never had a problem with them myself. Anything but Citylink and I don't care ^_^. Even Royal Mail in my area is doing well throughout the strikes.. still delivering :X. If you are a Union fella and want to know the area **** off :p.

If I don't get the dispatch email tomorrow I'll wait in the queue like a british person :o. (Aslong as some people get the email!)
Not going to complain after getting all them promo codes put on the order ;p.

If it means anything.....

I spoke to a lady at the front desk on Saturday @ the Regent Street Nokia Store and she said they're going to start accepting offers again for the N900 on T-Mobile "sometime" this week.

Not sure when "sometime" is......keeping my fingers crossed
