To confuse even more - MPD is selling contracts within Nokia Flagship Store (in London, that is). ;)

Ok, so clear something up for me please? If I pre ordered a contract in the flagship store, am I waiting for Nokia stock? Or MPD stock?

MPD stock, however I strongly believe that since MPD and Nokia are cooperating so close lately, MPD stock is more or less the same as Nokia stock.

How it is for real? Time will tell.

Re: N900 UK Networks
 
When MPD first got the N900 I watched it closely and planned on placing a preorder and I followed these forums. every time I visited MPD it seemed liked something was being removed from the deal until I eventually bit.
At the beginning:
1) Vodafone and Tmobile with £40 worth of free accessories. then
2) Vodafone and Tmobile (with no £40 voucher). then
3) Vodafone only. Vodafone PAYG at £392. then
4) Vodafone PAYG at £469.99.

I decided to preorder at stage 3. I thought I'd better preorder before they remove anything else (I can always cancel later) and so I have an order which is cheaper than its current price.

Problem is, I recently went to the London Flagship Nokia store and placed an order with a T-mobile contract too (the one I wanted before they removed it from MPD). My question now is should I cancel my previous order. Since I assume (please tell me if I assume wrong) the PAYG order is like buying an off-line N900 for £392. What makes me reluctant to cancel is that I once read a post here which said that the flagship store offers T-mobile branded N900s which are locked to them, anybody know if this is true? should I cancel my MPD order?

Hello,

We are still expecting it next week at the flagship store on Regent Street. It may be worth you contacting nokia.retail.com directly to confirm their expected delivery dates as we do not have that information at this store.

Best Regards,

Susie

i did actually post this on another topic for UK but I thought it might be good to share it on here aswell.
MPD is a advertising website for the actual nokiaretail so you are only redirected to nokiaretail when you try and buy from MPD. just to clear things up :)

You'll get the MPD stock mate.

I believe flagship stock = MPD stock, only NOS is sending them out at the moment.
