Possibly something about the type of orcer, contract, etc etc i mean the easiest to ship are the sim free's, then new contratct's/payg's and then probably last is the numbers to be ported ones....
Again, even saying that i think some of those people have them already.

How many t-mobile order'ees have their phones already?

I was voda and late sept - does seem the voda orders came out quite quick.
Based on what I have read here it looks like they shipped free N900 orders first (included in contract terms), as they did free shipping so they wouldn't have to bother calling those customers to get the card re-authed. THEN they started calling people who were part-paying for their N900 due to choosing cheaper contracts.

I believe that is how it got all out of order, but I still think that is a poor excuse. I have never known ANYWHERE have to re-auth my debit card before, the order basically stays "pending" until the item is in stock.

They cannot use a credit check as an excuse as I am already pre-authed with T-Mobile for 5 lines with them and currently have 2. So the only doubt is if I had the money on the day, which I could have lied anyway so calling me did not solve anything.

On the one hand I do think its quite good of them to call and warn you that they are about to bill you. On the other hand I wouldn't care, as like any logical person I set aside that amount of funds ready for them to bill me.
