Seems that many September and October ones have been delivered now, Surely its Novembers turn tommorow?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

This must be the same guy I spoke too about a week ago... he was VERY abrupt, the company really need to address customer service issues. I realise we all "have bad days"... but from what i gather at MPD.. every day seems like that...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Play time!! :):) .. good to hear...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Jotei, we have exactly the same deal and order on exactly the same day! Bet we get them at totally different times though.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

1pm no normal postie or van.

Dam - same time again tomorrow peeps!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Phoned this morning, was told i would have it Friday latest but would not need payment details again as i only had postage to pay and they were not charging for postage any more.

Had a phone call fro9m home at 1245 to say me phone has arrived. Never received despatch email but dont care now. Just hoping all is ok with it.

Ordered OCT 13th T-mobile 18 month contract.

Good luck to the rest of you

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Indeed,
I have a good feeling about tommorow though.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I ordered in November and got it delivered on the 5th December :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I think i have almost given up hope of it coming this week :(

It sucks that some places now have walk in stock.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

On a side note, I got a message from Voda saying my phone will switch before 4pm today. Its now 13:22 and im still on O2.

hmmmzzzz

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

no, i hadn't.It rebooted several times almost as soon i started playing with it. I noticed some had said that changing to 2G helped- but mine was already on 2G. Changed to 3G and it's been much better. It has rebooted once since when I opened the camera- but havent tried it again yet. Just installed weather, so I'll see how that goes. All in all I'm very pleased with it- although I'm finding the scrolling difficult- the bar is very thin and i keep opening things inadvertently. I'm ot used to touchscreen though- coming from an N95

EDIT- Oh and charger was dead on arrival, so I'm using my old N95 charger with the adapter. breathed a sigh of releif when the orage light came on with that I can tell you.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

How do you change it from 2G to 3G btw?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Isn't the whole point of online preordering that you get the phone before the shops will let you walk out with one ? FFS.

I wonder if Nokia know that Mobile Phones Direct is dragging their name through the mud ?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Settings/phone/scroll down to Network (doesn't look like it does, but it does) network mode.Scroll is really not good on this one. I think a firmware update is needed.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

what I hate the most is that all we are hearing is "hopefully" "maybe" "expect to" "probably" "approximately"

I want to know DATES, and DEFINATES and WILL BE's....

it'll never happen.
I'm actually going a bit crazy waiting now. I've spent all morning refreshing this, refreshing emails, facebook and the order status...and then imagining the post man coming with it.

I'm gonna go visit my gran :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

oop - there ya go, another reboot when i went back to internet. hmmm

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

god i couldnt handle it think its time to get on the phone and send it back

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Wow- great sound in the earphones from media player- and that from a mixing engineer

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

mm.. we'll see. i'm too excited to care yet lol

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hi guys, I have been out of the loop for a while now. I was wondering if people who pre-ordered the N900 have now received them and if the shops now have the N900 in stock?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Iv had my pc, which is usually rock solid disconnecting from internet 3 times with no apparent cause, making me reboot while I've left it connected Maemo.org. didnt think much of it until i read the posts on random reboots of n900. How about using the device without web browser in background and see how long the uptime is? just a thought. I haven't received mine yet so its just my tuppence worth.

edit: seems to happen when im logged into maemo.org on pc then log in on laptop too after forgetting to log out on pc.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks Monkey. Good point I'll give it a shot after lunch.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hi guys, I haven't been here for a while, but just to throw a quick update - my Nokia N900 parcel has landed at my house today morning, just as advised by MPD Salisbury guy who called me Saturday, but as I'm at work atm, I won't see my new, little toy until at least 7:30pm tonight. :)

Oh, and order confirmation email and 'Complete' status appeared today around 6:30am, so well after they actually posted the parcel.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Mine hasn't rebooted at all yet although I do have the bug where after playing a video its refusing to play any now saying the aren't supported.

First impressions, my god the screen is FAR more readable than I feared. Can comfortably read this forum without zooming at all. But it is a REALLY heavy device, but I tend to keep a lot of loose change in my right pocket on my coat and phone in the left - so will probably balance out for me.

How I set mine up? I plugged it straight into my laptop and it immediately started charging and showed up as mass storage device (shocked me that as I had not turned on the N900 yet so I wasn't expecting it).

After I copied all my music over (had already transcoded all my iPod music collection over to FLAC days ago) I set off in search of getting telepathy-haze installed which ended it tragedy, Extra Devel just isn't working right now. :( Anyway I settled for installing a ton of junk and ogg-support.

Everything working apart from what I already mentioned above. Sound quality is amazing but then my iPod music has all been pre-EQd as I found the iPod Touch really poor sounding even with its EQ. N900 a billion times better sound quality than the iPod, shame the Media Player sucks on the N900 especially as ogg-support does not support tags yet.

Now heres hoping I do not suffer the reboot plague as anything else I can deal with, even if I have to fight to get video playback working again (ironically I am hoping a reboot will sort it).

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Has anyones number transferred over to Vodafone yet?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Sorry to hear about yours Ninja - keep an eye on the reflashing pages - may be useful :) - could just be a software bug hopefully :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Good to hear you almost have it in your grasps!!! :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

The Video playback quality is also spectacular - the demo video that come on it is pretty amazing! (9 i think it is?!)

I've got 2012 on it now - and it's ipod quality -so not that great - anyone know of good sites to download better quality dvd's that i could get playing on the phone? - or an easy way of ripping/coverting etc?

The music player that comes with it is fine for me, been doing a great job for me - and i like the headset i got? will post a photo later and check it is the same ones as you all have :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

29th September

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

And what a good day to order that was ;) - same as me, think you got skupperred by the different stores doing different batches :(

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I finally got the call. Northern sounding guy. Took my card details and said it will be dispatched today.

I don't actually loath them so much now.

Ordered 16th Oct, MPD, Live in London.

My luck though. I was in all day today but will be out all day tomorrow. Not complaining though, I think its on its way at last.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Well i never get a reply from the webshop address some times for 2/3 days some times not at all so i just spammed 3 NR and 2 MPD stores to see if someone can tell me the state of my order!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

And did you get a status? lol :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I expect all 5 to ignore me...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i must be one of the latest orders here - 1st Dec. feel sorry for those who ordered 3 months ago and still have nothing - hopefully i won't be waiting as long or i'll be truly truly harrowed.

my only complaint of MPD so far is that they sent an automated email asking for my PAC which i duly supplied via their email address. twice. my order still said PAC Pending until today so i rang it in. hopefully their phone staff are better than their email staff!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yeah- i watched the 9 trailer with the earphones- astounding!
I use Cucusoft youtube mate for renderiing to website quality- it's free but you have to pay something like £12 for the conversion bit. worth it imo

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I'm lucky enough to have a MPD (well, Nokia) shop in my city, and if they continue to ignore the phone and email I support I'll have to go there and make a nuisance of myself...

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks Ninja, will look into it tonight :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Same here. See sig below

I got a confirmation email saying they had received my PAC. Maybe I should phone to make sure.,,
