So if the phone is faulty in the first week we can return to MPD, after that Nokia? Is returning to Nokia as easy as it is with Apple, ie you walk into an Apple store and get a replacement on the spot (though you probably have to book a slot)..?
MPD did have some comment about refunds not being possible if you stick your SIM card in. But surely the phone would have a 'reset to factory defaults' option which would wipe all traces of usage? Just in case I open it, play with it a few days and totally hate it, though I can't see that happening.
Thanks
Personally I will not be using the MPD provided SIM card immediately, instead sticking my O2 SIM card in.

If you return a phone to a repair centre do you get a temp loan one in return? (I Know off thread but.........)

I'm afraid you don't, but depending on who runs the shop you give it in to, you can rent a temporary phone. I got given a very sexy looking 1210or some such number in return for a £50 deposit at Carphone Warehouse in Nottingham when my N73 went off. It could essentially make calls and text. That was is. Better than no phone though right?

Not sure about how this return within 7 days to mpd or for faults to nokia after this period is right .if for instance the mic was faulty then one would say that it was not fit for purpose ie what good is a phone with no mic and you should reasonably expect a new handset rather than a repair and as the contract of sale is with mpd and not nokia it should be there responsibility. I mean if i brought a sony telly from curry's and it was faulty i would be dealing with curry's not sony.

anyway of knowing how far down the list we actually are? And your right i'm getting a little worried about all the issues, but if we wanted something proven we would have brought iPhones!

Still - the chance of MPD actually organising a replacement for you... slim to none based on current experiences with them! Think I'll still go with the Nokia route!

Under distance selling regulations, you can return the phone within 7 days without reason but it would have to have been unused. You could then get a different phone on the existing contract.
If you put the SIM in though, you've activated the contract - and under their returns policy, you have 7 days to cancel the contract, but you can not do this if you've used the SIM at all...
After the 7 day window (for faults), you deal direct with Nokia. This isn't usually a bad process, but its NO Apple! You take it to a repair centre or Nokia approved store (my local Vodafone store is one of these and many Carphone Warehouses are). They will send the phone back to Nokia for you and have it repaired or replaced if needs be. This isn't a bad experience - done it several times with my N73 and once with my N96. They have a good turnaround time. Problem is, with a shortage of N900's at the moment, you'd probably have a long wait to get a replacement!
