I know you do! I was in the same boat only on Friday!

Infact, I was almost crying when they delayed the launch like 4 times over and over again!

Dont worry mate. It will be worth the wait!!!

Patience gets rewarded, and your reward will be the best phone ever made!

You probably wont get a call. Your credit card should still be within the 30 day limit thing, and your PAC code (if you gave one) should still be active.

I didnt get a phonecall.

This calmed me down but still can't rely on it.

So that's YET ANOTHER F****** week (possibly). God I'm so p***ed off with this. And 'allow 5 days'??? What about £3.99 for Next day delivery?

Do you think I will get a call as I ordered on 6th October, but it will only be for the shipping charge?

On a slightly side note, does anybody know if the Nokia 'sock' will be big enough for the N900?

When your phone comes, it will probably be a totally different size from advertised LOL

no n900 for me today, thanks to that bunch of incompetent lieing twa*ts.

ordered on the 29th of september
informed it had shipped on the friday
aware that later orders had theirs shipped on the preceding thursday
half day taken off to await 'delivery'

deeply peeved with the performance of MPD!

Too right. What cheek charging us for next day delivery but dragging their feet actually shipping the damn things.

MPD are really taking the piss, they were supposed to have posted mine on Friday so where the hell is it? This is special delivery GUARANTEED next working day. So I could forgive it not turning up Saturday, but where is it now?

If it turns out those October orders (which were shipped before our September ones) do not get charged delivery AT ALL then heads will roll. Although I suspect those October people will keep quiet now, if we complain enough they might bill them for delivery. I think that is more likely than refunding ours.

Also the sheer fact they give us no tracking details is to hide the fact they are posting these in a complete half-assed random order. What other excuse is there for the "allow 5 days" that they suddenly came up with.

I ordered in September FFS, I was near the top of the bloody list but appear to be shipped near the bottom. I suspect people who ordered in November will get theirs the same time as I get mine, possibly before at this rate. The whole point of pre-ordering is to secure your place in the list, if they ignore the list order (which they have) they are surely breaking contract.

Well possibly- but what proof do we have?
I'm not getting any work done- I work with headphones on so I'm avoiding doing stuff which is effectively like not being at work otherwise I wouldn't hear them at the door. Sooooooooo mad. Do I have to do this all sodding week until it finally turns up?

Congrats! When did you order? Did you get a call/email saying it had been dispatched?
You seem to be the first/only to get it today!
Did it only just get delivered?

There's a parade in town and the roads are closed so I'm keeping fingers crossed that they're late because of that.

I thought once the money went out of my account that was it, they must have shipped. But they can't have, would have arrived Saturday or Today. If it arrives tomorrow, that means they shipped TODAY which is total BS.

Its odd. I ordered on 8th November and it shipped Friday and I got it on Saturday

Remember Nokia are really to blame for all this. They are the ones who said it would be available in September.
I imagine Nokia told MPD this too and as a result MPD took it on "good faith" and started to take orders.
Of course Nokia decided to frequently delay the "launch" date of the N900 and now an enormous back-log of orders and peed-off customers are the result of this mess.

MPD are not entirely "blameless" on this - bad communication (we have the Internet for god's sake!) and not shipping on a "first-come first-served" basis makes the situation even worse.

I had worked in retail many years ago and badly organised suppliers constantly did this to us. Our customers were quite rightly peed-off as a result.

If anything my anger and frustration is with Nokia.

I hate to say this but a few of us may not get a N900 before Christmas!

I know MPD have said they will get all pre-orders out by Friday(?) but they have probably been promised stock by Nokia. If Nokia actually delivers remains to be seen.
