hi evryone,

3 months ago I have upgraded my phone from vodafone. there are delays on my order so i kept phoning them for the update of the delivery. vodafone agent says she will process my order again to make sure i will be receiving it the next day.

delivery guy came to my place and had me sign for a receipt .... (says 1 nokia n900) .... and he handed me over 2 black boxes. i thought the other box is accessory box until i realized it was another n900.

called vodafone and asked how many phones i ordered on my account and it shows on their record it was 1 n900. I waited 2 months for them to discover it. nothing! i was about to keep it for few more months until my wife is arguing with me everyday to return the phone. just to make her stop, i return it to vodafone.

if you are in my situatuon what will you do? have i done the right thing?

atleast now my conscience is not bugging me anymore.

Darn that _is_ a real dilemma... I would have probably returned the second N900 to them too (thinking they'd notice it anyway) but I would probably keep thinking "what if I didn't return it...". Then again, one N900 is already a lot of power, and I wouldn't constantly use 2 of them (it would be nice to have a second just to test things with, but hey).
I do think you did the "right" thing here, what if someone else was actually waiting on an N900 that never came because it was erroneously delivered to your door? I wouldn't want to be that guy...

Definitely the right thing to do, but to be honest, I would have given it to my mum She is still using her "Vodafone" mobile phone

If you keep it, you're a thief. I don't see the dilemma. You married well.

Hmm. After checking with Vodafone, and then sitting on it for a couple of months to see if they noticed on their own, then I would have kept it. You checked with them and gave them time.

if the wife was giving me grief, then I would keep it quiet and pretend to have only one!
