We were supposed to get it today but there is a slight delay, every store get it on monday-tuesday and deliveries should start than. Including MPD -www.nokiaretail.co.uk. If anything else feel free to ask, we are allowed to give information

Wow dude! Thanked 26 times in 24 posts

Just to clarify, Can I buy (without a preorder) an N900 on T-Mobile contract on monday-tuesday?

Or are they still dishing out pre-order stock?

I pre ordered ages ago, then cancelled and reordered when the PAYG version was £392.

It still shows 'new' and not 'pending stock' like some, what's the chances of getting it next week with the other pre orders from MPD?

Hi,

do you know anything about this:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35188

which links to this:

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/11...-during-delay/

which is based on this:

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,39...9304402,00.htm

which says this:

there's more to the delay than queues of Nokia-lovers swamping the system. Nokia plans to put Maemo on all of its N-series smart phones by 2012, so it has to get it right.

We've seen evidence that firmware updates for the N900 are still coming fast and furious, as recently as today on our review sample

I'm wondering if this is just journalistic Chinese whispers, or if there's some meat to the implied story of Nokia delaying for further firmware updates?

Hi I have ordered my n900 and for 3 days still saying 'item not shipped'. Called them today and they said your order is still pending.
Anyone know whether i have a chance of receiving it next week?

Just to add if Orane don't sell this phone can they still send me their 3g/wap settings as I have 500mb of data on my contract?

Thanks

All recent Nokias have all settings 'built in' you can just select it from a list as far as i remember.

n900 doesn't use wap but your device will pick up all the connection details it needs from your sim card.

You wont be able to buy it T-Mobile before 2010 mate. There still is pre-order option available on the web site. Once we have it in our stocks that will change to "Order now" or something like that

.

"Thanks" part is what you get if you actually help people and clarify question marks on peoples head.

You will have to contact with Southampton. They are not answering the calls due to high call rates. But the status will change once it is out for delivery as the some others got "Pending PAC" status, so probably you will get yours next week too.

Steve.

Heh, snap! Left Barking 18:47? I have:
BARKING, GB 26/11/2009 18:47 DEPARTURE SCAN

Thank goodness for this forum, BTW. If I was relying on shop.nokia.co.uk I wouldn't have a clue where it was - I used the add-01-for-reference-number posted by someone here at the ups site.

The email I got from shop.nokia said:

Your package was shipped via Standard (3-5 days). You may track your
package by clicking on the link below. If you do not see a link, copy
and paste this entire URL onto your browser's address bar:
Click here to track package
<http://shop.nokia.co.uk/nokia-uk/tracking.asp> (which is a nonexistent page)

and later (honestly, I am cutting and pasting this from the mail I received)

If you have any questions, please send an email to Service@nokia.co.uk or call our Customer Care Team at 1-800-***-****, Monday through Friday, 7AM to 5PM

Given the phone number they provide and the url they provide, what chance would I have with the email address?!

Thanks for that RevdKathy. I was worried that Orange may need to have specific settings for the n900. But it should be okay now. Just gotta sit and wait like everyone else.
