Just spoken to a very nice lady at the Winchester store who happened to have personally processes my order yesterday so I should FINALLY get it today.
Seems we were right all along though, MPD online made a real cockup of this whole thing. They referred too many orders to each store who are under-stocked in N900s, under-staffed and generally not very pleased that they have to call so many people to confirm the card details.
So I have to agree with what has been said elsewhere in this thread. If you can find out which store yours is sent from, give them a call. The staff working in the stores are pleasant even under these dire circumstances.

Hey- pic attached.
Despite them saying they couldn't find an order with my surname on yesterday, mine did actually come from Manchester.
Testing my old sim first. Be careful; with the sim holder it's very delicate
My headphones aren't the same either- but i knew they wouldn't be as I checked the model number ages ago and noticed they weren't.. bit sneaky that on Nokia's part.

That gives me hope - you'vebeen my yardstick on this page having I ordered the same day as you, and was told on Friday mine was already dispatched too plus your general levels of frustration match mine. Hopefully mine will be received today too.

In other words even if I have the slip waiting at home there's no way for me to collect it todaythat sucks, well hopefully the slip is there and I can collect it tomorrow morning!
