Well at the risk of cross posting (sorry) this was the last contact I had earlier Hmm - just had an email from MPD I sent them the mail below in response to their infamous "delayed to Dec 3rd" email Sent: 20 November 2009 10:54 To: sot04 Subject: RE: Your Nokia N900 Order Hi there, Thanks for the notice at last, it is good to have a date. Im a bit confused though, as I thought you ran the Nokia Retail side of things? Im also not very happy at the further delay, is it really going to be that late, the whole point of ordering from you was your advertising, stating that you would be getting it first and also as an exclusive. This is obviously not the case, I can buy it direct from Nokia now for delivery Tuesday, (I have just phoned them.) Is this message a precautionary message and you might be getting them in earlier, because if not, I may have to cancel my order and order directly from Nokia.. Please advise M They have sent back From: WebShop [mailto:webshop@MobilePhonesDirect.co.uk] Sent: 23 November 2009 15:28 To: 'Edgedemon' Subject: RE: Your Nokia N900 Order No one will have the handset until the end of the month as there are no handset in the UK yet to despatch. Do you still wish to keep your order? Kind regards I've sent them a mail stating that Nokia have started shipping today so can they explain why they have no stock for another 10 days?
