I took advantage of the discount codes and got it very cheap from Nokia online shop (shop.nokia.co.uk). :)

Now all I have to do is wait for it to arrive!!

If Newegg ships from its NJ warehouse (which it usually does for popular products to me, as I am on the east coast) then I either get it overnight or same day. So free 3-day shipping is super fine for me :D

Re: Where have you got your n900 from
 
So far its looking good for me - only 1 from MPD, hopefully I will be in the first batch sent out :D

How is newegg? I thought about canceling from mobilecity.com and ordering from newegg but I'm not quite sure about the customer service... Do you believe the nokia 1 yr warranty on the device will be honor by them?

Re: Where have you got your n900 from
 
Why is there so much disparity in UK prices?

There's a £60 difference between cheapest and most expensive, and we haven't even gotten in to eBay territory yet.

Nokia closed them down :eek:

too many people contacted them to confirm the discounts were real and they shut the loophole - doh!

from amazon.de for 532 Euros

Re: Where have you got your n900 from
 
Mobile Phones Direct told me that as they run the UK Nokia stores they will get it before anyone else and in quantities that means they will have enough to fulfil all pre-orders. So it really shouldn't matter who is in front of you unless they are really under-staffed as they should all go out on launch day (whenever that may be).

I hope they get enough for all of us, their communication dept is not the most efficient or accommodating but they seem alright as a shop... Waiting...

Re: Where have you got your n900 from
 
I don't have one yet ... but i have pre ordered mine from Nokia for £306, just before the discounts were pulled.

Re: Where have you got your n900 from
 
If it wasn't for my O2 contract not running out until May I would have gotten the best deal. Yes its £20/month for 18 months on T-Mobile and £90 up front, but I was going to get a second T-Mobile Combi 20 contract anyway without a phone, so this way you could say the N900 only cost me £90.

Of course the plan was to do it once my O2 contract ran out and keep the Xperia X1 rather than selling it. But the prospect of a NIT in my pocket instead of that poor excuse called Windows Mobile, combined with the design flaw of the X1 (the case cracks), I just couldn't warrant keeping it and sending it to be repaired for the next year every time it cracks again.

I've used newegg for over 8 years now for computer parts and my E71 is from them as well. One of the most reputable sellers on the internet if you ask me.

I got them from in these very forums, the first appears to have lapsed already but no idea on the others but feel free to try them:

AFFUK15
SOCUK15
MYNOKUK15

You have to enter them one at a time into the discount code box and let the screen refresh. Each will give you a 15% discount (cummulative) so it works out quite well - best of luck!

Just noticed this - my email from them confirms the price as with the discounts applied, I'm hoping that they honour the original contractual offer.

+1

@x61 You really can't go wrong with Newegg; I've been shopping them for nearly 8 years myself. I'll admit I've never had to return anything, but did cancel an order once. No hassle, no questions asked. Nowadays they may want to know the 'why' so they can improve themselves, but there's not much to improve upon.

You can read all sorts of product reviews from happy customers and many give personal testimonies of how well their dealings with Newegg went, even if the product failed- Newegg always shines.

As for the question at hand, I have yet to order a device. Cash is king, and right now the king is giving it up to queen Chase, Discover, and Citibank. :(

First one was working on Monday, but I only found the last one yesterday but neither seem to work now. The first was expiring on the 21st and so was SOCUK15 according to http://europe.nokia.com/microsites/discount

I ordered with a voucher and through Quidco.

Its not an issue, this poll had a hidden agenda :D
I was trying to work out how many people had ordered from MPD, so I could get an idea where I would be with there 'first come, first shipped' policy
Not that Im impatient to get one in my hands or anything..

Nokia shop UK with 15% discount. Kicking myself for getting in on the multi discount codes.
