This just in!!! I phoned the real Nokia aka *http://shop.nokia.co.uk* and here's what he said . All orders ship from their european warehouse. Not just the N900 but all . Orders are being packed and shipped today for those who preorderd. It could arrive on Saturday but most likely it will arrive on monday 23rd . They have never heard of Nokiaretail . They have never heard of Mobilephonesdirect He even asked me for their websites so he could look them up . No stock has been sent to retailers . Stock will be available to Nokia Flagships before it hits retailers So in summary. EVERYTHING I SAID about mpd is correct. They are talking hogwash. But more importantly If you order through *http://shop.nokia.co.uk/* today or tomorrow you could get your device on the 23rd also as like i said/was told deliveries are being handled by the warehouse Good luck
