As you may have read in the press, we’re sorry to confirm that delivery of your new Nokia N900 stock has been delayed to mid November – Our N900 stock when it arrives will be the first in the UK and orders will be dispatched on a first ordered, first served basis directly from our Nokia stores. Be assured that you are top of the dispatch list for a new Nokia N900 and you will not get the N900 anywhere else before this date, which for the moment is exclusive to Nokia direct sales channels.

Please accept our sincere apologies for this short delay and we thank you for your patience. Having read several reviews and personally used a pre-production N900 running with Maemo 5 operating system, be assured that the new Nokia N900 will be very much worth the short wait.

If you would like to discuss your pending order please email us at webshop@mobilephonesdirect.co.uk. For more details of the Nokia N900 please visit our new Nokia Retail website www.nokiaretail.co.uk or our main website at www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk

Kind regards,
Yes, I've just had that as well

Yeah- but my question to them was what they could offer me in the interrim because my contract at Virgin (and more importantly, my PAC code 30 days) runs out on the 15th. If I don't receive the N900 til, say, 20th (or worse) then a) I don't have a working network to use and b) I lose my phone number.

Don't Virgin just put you onto a rolling monthly charge at the end of the contractual period?

Yes but I cancelled the contract (stupidly, I know, in hindsight) a couple of weeks before it was announced that the release date was to be moved from end of October- so burned my bridges effectively.

Seemed like TMobile would be the answer since Virgin don't do the N900- Virgin runs on TMobile anyway.
Unless I got my maths wrong, it works out cheaper to buy it outright and get a SIM - (that was through Expansys, who don't seem to be doing that contract deal anymore!) Anyway, I'd prefer to pay a bit more and get an unlocked N900.

How about getting a prepaid phone for a month (or two, or ten) until you get your N900. You'd have to transfer the number twice but you wouldn't loose it or your service.

Note that I speak from a US perspective. There may be charges or restrictions I don't know about in the UK.

I've never - personally - bought or been a fan of "cheap" bundled contract based phones. You pay a hell of a lot more money than you would if you purchased the phone outright, and service separately. You also tend to get a bunch of weird and wonderful restrictions on how you can use the phone, and the service. I really find it amazing that a lot of people can't do the maths and realise this.

Actually that varies from country to country. In the US you are rarely offered a discount on a plan because you already have a phone so you pay more for a plan plus an unlocked phone than you pay for the same plan with a discounted, locked phone. Plus, as your plan's term draws close, you will normally be offered even greater discounts on newer phones as an option to renew the plan.
