Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Does anyone know how soon after placing order with MPD they actually run the credit check?

If only that were true...
MPD are just saying anything - Im hoping that they are being conservative with their release dates, but somehow I think we still have over a week to go :mad:

I really need to stop looking at this forum, but I cant help it...

Since it seems that Nokia UK haven't got them yet, I doubt those of us with orders at MPD will be getting them anytime soon...what a huge cock-up this has been on Nokia's part

Yeah, same problem. Just hoping someone will give a glimmer of hope by saying their has changed from Pending Stock or something.

As for the time taken for the credit check, I have no idea, but it was extremely quick for me - apparently if your status is already on Pending Stock, that means the credit check is done

Yes, I believe that's true, don't they credit/debit your account with £2.00 or something like that to check...it shows up on my account history just after I ordered.

Someone told me that if you check your statement, they take out a couple of £s to check it and then replace the money. that way you know it's been done. (I checked mine and sure enough, that's what they did.) Mine I think was done very early on too.

I placed my order with MPD on the 6th October and on the 8th £2.00 was taken from my bank account and then returned on the 10th. My order is 'pending stock' and I was told the credit check had been successful:)

Don't worry, you're not the only one....I keep hoping for some kind of miracle and seeing that 'pending stock' sign turn to something more positive. By the way, I am beginning to get sick of that bloody MPD Order Tracker page....just staring at that same info day in and day out...even if it does change suddenly I don't think I'll believe it until the device is actually in my hands.

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
I placed my order 19th November.. they took the phone upfront cost straight away :/ and my status is pending stock.. though i didn't have a credit history of 3 years so i selected it anyway :/ cause i had no other option :<

Just called NokiaUK on 0800 331 6021 and have been told that "we have been told it will ship today". I've been assured confirmation email should hit my inbox later this evening. I'll believe it when I see it though.

The peek-a-boo with Nokia goes on :(.

The Acer Liquid at £328 is tempting but sadly not Maemo. :mad:

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Has anyone actually managed to get a response as to why MPD are getting the phones so late?
If they are the official 'partner' then surely they will have priority over amazon or bestbuy etc etc

Just grasping at straws really...

sharper 2009-11-23 14:17

Re: Nokia N900 - UK Release Related Information
 
Amazon UK currently have a dispatch estimate for the 29th-30th so unless their date gets pushed out neither Nokia UK nor MPD are offering much of an advantage.

How were you told the credit check was successful? Don't think I've had that.

I really dont know but i hope they are just saying that they r going to ship it at the end of the month just make sure that we will get it LATEST on the 3rd. I have the feeling that we might get it within this week. I HOPE!:rolleyes:

Well I called with my order nujmber earlier today and was told that they didn't even have the stock in yet (despite what I was told end of last week: "The stock is being unpacked today").

However, Germany has a number of people who got their device delivered before their status changed and also no shipping email! Don't suppose anyone is at home today waiting for delivery that can comment?

I noticed the £2 had been taken from my account and put back, so I got on the live chat and asked them and they confirmed if my order had changed from 'new' to 'pending stock' the credit check had been successful:)

There was an email sent out by MPD last week apologising for the delay, saying that 3rd Dec will be a despatch date and that if your order says pending stock it means that it has passed the credit check.

Yes, I got that. I just wondered if he meant there was something on the order tracker :)

Just spoke to Nokia UK (0800 331 6021) and the depressed-sounding man said that they will be shipped tomorrow now. A very few have apparently gone out today, but the vast majority will be tomorrow. I have no idea if it's true or not, but if it's not, at least it's a different and pleasantly detailed inaccuracy.

Lie, once the N900 starts shipping it will change to 'in stock' on the website...

Just spoke to MPD, i asked whats the point of stating Exclusive availability on your site when Nokia UK already got it and Amazon and Play.com have expected dates before yours... he was like the reason why Nokia UK have shipped already is they are shipping directly from their distributors while we have to get it in our stock first.. and he assured that they'll be first to follow after Nokia UK :/.. but the stupid part he said was "We'll get them in stock on 3rd decemeber" dayem :@
