If so, we should be getting them before 4th December.
So today's a new day, does anyone have any info on whether MPD will be receiving their stock today? tomorrow? Any other MPD related news/updates? I'm so bored of waiting for this phone now. I just pray that I'm not in the minority (assuming it's minority) that have a mic problem or rebooting problem, when it finally arrives!
Like you, I'm beginning to get a little bored of this waiting game and obviously worried about potential hardware/software issues. I mean, can you imagine how long it would take to get a replacement from MPD if it isn't working properly? It doesn't bear thinking about..still I'm going to contact them today to find out if there's any update, but I'm not particularly hopeful. I still reckon we'll get them on December 4th or even later. God, they really are a dodgy company, if I hadn't got the T-mobile contract with them before the quota was filled I would definitely cancel my order and try and get it elsewhere..

But Im seriously thinking of trying elsewhere anyway..
I don't think we can really hassle MPD until tomorrow, if stock arrives at the NFS, as then there will be an arguement that they are not the first...
I want to take part in the n900 threads that are springing up from the people that have got theirs...

I really am getting fed up with myself now! lol - I am an annoying whiney *****!
My phone simply cannot turn up any later than mid-afternoon on Dec 4th because that's when I've off for a whole week! and won't be around to play with it! arg! Though if that does happen and it's delivered say 7th my OH will be able to collect it from royal mail. Meaning I'll have to entrust her to open it on the Thursday night and start charging it, so when I get home on the Friday evening it's had nearly 24 hours charge time and no excuses for me not to switch it on!!

TBH, I am not sure how necessary this is these days, with various advancements in battery technology (plus it doesn't tell you to do it like it did in the old days, plus the batteries tend to come at least partially charged too). But it can't hurt can it?!

The batteries HAVE to come partially charged, as if they are left for a long period fully charged or nearly empty, that is what breaks them. Presumably that is why you have to run them through the cycle too, so that you kick them back into working order.
I would imagine it all depends on how long they have been left in storage. I know I didn't do the cycling on my iPod Touch and its totally out of whack now, so I may be more careful with the N900.
I didn't do it on my Xperia X1 either, but that was Lithium Polymer so perhaps not subject to the same issue.

But Im seriously thinking of trying elsewhere anyway..
I would check carefully before doing this though!!
Cancelling is a last option, but even if I did have to wait until the 4th, Im not losing out as MPD aren't shipping until the 3rd, so I wouldn't get it until the 4th anyway..
