Got home tonight to a postoffice slip! Woohoo will pick it up tomorrow before work. Sucks though to hear people are having issues. Hope that MPD handle the returns / exchanges well in case I'm in the same boat!

Ninjaboxergirl, i reckon it might be an idea to hassle MPD ASAP about this one. dont want them giving you some kind of ******** excuses about why they wont give you a new one after all!
Wish you the best of luck with getting this sorted! Gotta be really gutting being sent one with the reboots :(

Slighty off topic (sorry!) but thought I would share with you two mobile phone purchasing situations, in essence to show how MPD buying experience matched my partners..
To cut a long story short, my partner is being bought an iPhone3GS (by me...lol.. for xmas) and I have opted for the N900.
Presently, I have 2 contracts at the moment - one with o2 (upgrading to iPhone 3GS - already have iPhone) and a T-Mobile. From the moment I read about the N900 I wanted one. Unfortunately as it was a brand new device at the time of ordering only option was MPD/Vodafone route (on contract anyway).. so I opted for this. (cancelling my T-Mobile contract)
Its rather crazy in our house as I am so looking forward to my N900 and better half is looking forward to his iPhone3GS. What a combination.....lol.....
But here is the difference in "the buying experience" - he logs onto O2, orders, within a day gets confirmation of order and despatch with a tracking number. He gets his phone tomorrow ..
Me? .. ordered my lovely new N900 last month and had nothing but wait, broken promises and a terrible customer service experience!! duh!! As my partner is a "iPhone fan".. as you can imagine, my life has been hell -
"...told you to get an iPhone.." etc..na na na na naaa lol
Mind you the N900 is brand spanking new and its not exactly readily available "off the shelf" (well when I ordered it wasn't).. but had to share this little shopping experience comparison...
.....sorry if its bored you!
Here's hoping my N900 comes tomorrow..............

Dead or stuck pixels can be difficult to sort out with a supplier. Some companies have minimum number of pixels and their locations on the screen. If there is just one pixel then that may be seen as witin tolerances. Does anyone know what Nokia's pixel policy is?
Dead pixels are black and permanent. Coloured pixels are stuck and can be jump started with programs which flicker the pixel rapidly. Massaging can help some LCD screens but sound dangerous to me. Google around, dead pixels are major headaches...

* cant truely multitask (pauses all inactive apps) whereas n900 multitasks like a pc!
* has a crap camera.
* has a rubbish OS
* has no physical keyboard
* cant be used with a stylus (capacitive screen ha!)
* has an internal battery so if battery is knackerd means ALOT of hassle
* has a lower resolution screen
* is not as good as the N900 haha
Hmmm this list could get looong!

hi guys, i just came back from work and i got a glad news from MPD. the email saysthat "
Thank you for your order for the Nokia N900.
When we originally processed your order with T-Mobile your credit check was pre-accepted, however having now tried to re-process your connection and ship your N900, T-Mobile have advised us that the credit check is no longer valid due to additional status information being obtained. Their decision is out of our control and we have no visibility of the information they mention. We have escalated this to our T-Mobile account manager. In the event that we can over-turn this credit accept decision, we will contact you accordingly. Alternatively if you would like us to re-check your order with Vodafone, please reply to this email quoting your original order reference.
Please accept our sincere apologies for and be assured that we are doing what we can."
i waited for 2 months and at last igot this glad news.
suggestions...coments please..

I'm just really hoping i dont get the problem. too much going on at the moment to be having to deal with attempting to get MPD to exchange a faulty unit. Since them just delivering them in the first place is proving a real challenge, i can only imagine how hard it might be to get a replacement!
