I've been posting in the other UK thread but have been equally dismayed by UPS tracking notification, with peoples' N900s being no more than 4 miles from their homes! Think I'll switch to this one seeing as I'm also an MPD customer...

Just to add what MPD have told me (think I posted a webchat in the other thread), T-Mobile contracts will be honoured but you can't change anything unless you want to change to a Voda contract. They're essentially selling us a SIM-free phone with a contract from a company that they take commission on, so don't see why they wouldn't honour it.

When I asked them about delivery yesterday, they still told me the 3rd, as with the emails they sent out, but said it was possible they would come earlier...

I'd assume that the MPD batch are also on their way to the UK, but instead of being sent straight to us, they're going to be sent to the stores and then re-packaged and shipped out. Bearing in mind that no contracts have been activated for us yet, and that they have over 500 preorders, I can see how it might take them a while to get all these phones out...

Grr...
