Right. Again, let me ask - can you spare me £499, so I can buy sim-free? Thanks in advance. You don't get the point. I am and most of us are perfectly aware (I suppose) that getting contract makes it way more expensive in long run. However, since I currently have no £400'ish in my wallet to spit out on the device, I've had to go for contract option. Simple as that. Side note, however I am annoyed with MPD for their poor customer communication, I genuinely believe that they are pretty much same annoyed with all of this, and I reckon they want to get this sorted asap too. Seriously guys, I think all the N900-hype that happens as we speak has surprised all Nokia, MPD, NFS and all other parties involved. Yes, at the end of the day we, end-users are paying money for these devices, and I admit we deserve better interaction, but on the other hand blaming everything and everyone around won't make things faster, imho.
