OMG! ITS HERE!!! just arrived arrived at 1:11 (after I had lost all hope) :d

For anybody who ordered recently and is wondering (like I was), I ordered 09/12/2009 22:00 and just got status change to ready for despatch. So it looks like they have caught up with all the preorders and are not far off up to date with recent orders. Sounds like I may get mine tomorrow, or should be by Monday.

When I was a postie, Special Deliveries were made on Saturdays, just not guaranteed to be, and van drivers took anything the size of a shoe box and bigger (but this depended on how nice your van driver was - got lumbered with some bigguns to walk about with on several occasions). Rest assured though if yours gets stuck in a delivery office over the weekend, it should be safe with Special Delivery because it is tracked at every part of its journey and is kept locked away separate from normal mail.

Good luck getting yours tomorrow everybody.

I will hopefully have a 'tried to deliver whilst you were out' note waiting for me when I get in.

Can you go and pick items up from the post office / sorting office on a saturday morning with this note?

Does the N900 from MPD on vodafone come unlocked or is it locked to vodafone?

Also does GPS work well?

Does any one have a good document editor yet?
(excluding online google docs and other web based services)

How hard is it to get programs and games for the N900?

How reliable are the programs generally including the ones that are in testing?

Mine says wait 48 hours but despite that I shall be there tomorrow morning before the crack of dawn on the off-chance!

1 Unlocked - all current N900's are

2) Yes, works fine, tried it in Ovi (very good), Twitter location updates etc, all fine

3) Programs - easy - not a huge amount but coming thick and fast (Only been around officially a few weeks!)
Games - erm.... Any flash website? lol - but tehres about 10/15 games on the apps links and extras available at the moment

4) I've not had one lock up yet in any testing or normal application. The only jitter is multitasking between open movies, can be a few seconds, the rest is almost instant

Yes most delivery offices are open till 1230 as far as I'm aware on Saturday. Shame you have to leave collection till next day these days because they are so slow getting the parcels back to the office - not like the good old days when the target was to finish delivering by 0930!

My delivery office closes at midday during the week and 9.30 on a saturday!

I normally don't have trouble picking the parcels up the day after they were attempted to be delivered.

Hopefully this will be the case tomorrow!

Just had the email from Vodafone which must be a good sign, says that my contract started yesterday so I'm hoping that the phone is close at hand, it would be good to collect tomorrow if it has been delivered today!
