My beef with MPD is that I feel I was made to believe I was ordering from the real nokia.

They slashed it all over their website that they run the retail operation of nokia (or at least it gave that impression) and so it was my belief that they were truely going to be sending out the first phones, especially as they were the only ones stating exclusive delivery from their nokia warehouses. Very misleading advertising, the truth has only come out during this fiasco, and it must be very embarrassing for MPD.

If I have learned anything then it is to have a preorder on the go with anyone offering the product, first one to send shipping email wins, the rest get cancelled. If they turn up in store first then all pre orders get dumped and I pick one up first hand
