Is it possible that their online system won't update until in the morning. E.g. it'll look and say oh these were sent out yesterday I'll update the status to "Despatched 03/12/2009" or am I clutching at straws too much?

I hope thats not clutching at straws!!

Oh actually no big deal if i miss delivery by being at uni, just found out the sorting office is only 30 min walk away from my house. Nice

Is there any news for people who ordered when MPD started directing us to Nokia Retail Store?

Here's some interesting news:

They're shipping from multiple stores as it says in the email, not just Southampton...

I tricked one store (don't know which one) in to calling me back. They seemed SO confused when I gave them my name. After 10mins on hold, they said they couldn't find my order (I panicked) but then said "are you sure we rang you? it could be being processed in a different store..."

It didn't sound like they had very many at their end. I could hear them checking through the boxes...

There ya go!

I won't get mine tomorrow, but lots of you should!!

this is a very depressing end to today

Please god, be kind to me and many other folks and bring us the phone tomorrow!

who said anything about 3:30 - my lot at work send out their next day deliveries at just before 5pm - so i wouldnt expect any change till well after then!

I was placing an order with T-Mobile telesales quite a while ago and their Royal Mail cut-off was 7pm. My order was beyond that cut-off time (20'ish past), yet still I've got phone next day. HTC Hermes aka MDA Vario that was. :)

To cut story short - relax, guys :) You've been waiting months, you can cope another day.

Ready For Despatch whoooooooooyesssssss at last
