network testing? I am pretty sure they wouldn't release the phone until everything was tested... I thoughts that was the reason for delay in the first place :/ its just long wanting when they dont at least send you an email telling you what is going on

That said, now I won't get it until December at least, I've told them to cancel my order, I just don't like being mucked about in principle

It took 4 months to release the E72, The N97 was late and pointless because it still didnt and too point still doesnt work properley. The N900 seems to have no glitches although some have said it just switches off but on mine i have the new software and it seems ok and as ive said on other posts there is another software release soon so any glitches shouldnt be half as bad a the N97s.

Spoke to MPD just now and seriously man, they suck!! they said they expecting stock beginning of December BUT its not guaranteed?? wtf? how can there be so much delay when the phone already arrived to UK???
3rd December still seems likely... just one more week guys!
I'm liking this 16GB memory card competition btw - was going to spend £30 getting a replacement battery for my Cowon A2, but figured I'd just get a 16gb card and switch to my N900 when it arrives...Thanks!

Nokia stores will recieve there N900's to sell in store.
These will also be used for pre orders on the web.
You will then be sent your N900 buy special next day delivery.
They are not sent to one store they are sent to MPD Head office then Distibuted to Nokia Stores and the MPD webshop which is in a MPD store. and then sent out as stated above. The reason is MPD get there stock from a differant supplier than Nokia who get them direct from Nokia so have a differant cost price which means you get a cheaper deal. That is why all web orders are done through nokia stores. However they are only sent out through Nokia stores any issues there after are then dealt with directley by the Webshop. I hope this Califies for everyone. 27/28th of this month is a projected date for Phones being in Nokia stores so your should get them the next few days after than depending on where you are on the list basically.

Where would MPD be getting them if it wasn't directly through Nokia though? They've only been out a short while, and as an official Nokia reseller in the UK, it would make sense that they came from Nokia, seeing as no-one else has them yet... I'm not saying you're wrong btw, just want more info! Otherwise the 27th/28th seems unlikely if they have to go from Nokia to someone else to the head office to the webshop store to us... Maybe next year would be more likely?!
The software upgrades are out for it already as i have done mine which is good and apparently there will be another big one out soon.
