Have a google around or call a flagship store. i hear they actually have walk out stock now Maybe regent street in london, but not 100% sure on that tho. Shocking since that total defeats the whole purpose of preordering!!!!

Your guess is as good as mine on that one really but as far as i can remember (tho dont hold me to this!) they managed to ship them before anyone else did so your chances might be relatively good but 2 days might be a bit hopeful.

To cut a long story short, my partner is being bought an iPhone3GS (by me...lol.. for xmas) and I have opted for the N900.
Presently, I have 2 contracts at the moment - one with o2 (upgrading to iPhone 3GS - already have iPhone) and a T-Mobile. From the moment I read about the N900 I wanted one. Unfortunately as it was a brand new device at the time of ordering only option was MPD/Vodafone route (on contract anyway).. so I opted for this. (cancelling my T-Mobile contract)
Its rather crazy in our house as I am so looking forward to my N900 and better half is looking forward to his iPhone3GS. What a combination.....lol.....
But here is the difference in "the buying experience" - he logs onto O2, orders, within a day gets confirmation of order and despatch with a tracking number. He gets his phone tomorrow ..
Me? .. ordered my lovely new N900 last month and had nothing but wait, broken promises and a terrible customer service experience!! duh!! As my partner is a "iPhone fan".. as you can imagine, my life has been hell -
"...told you to get an iPhone.." etc..na na na na naaa lol

Mind you the N900 is brand spanking new and its not exactly readily available "off the shelf" (well when I ordered it wasn't).. but had to share this little shopping experience comparison... .....sorry if its bored you!

Here's hoping my N900 comes tomorrow..............
If you tried to order the hd2 from o2 you would be in exactly the same situation as ordering the n900 from mdp so dont think o2 are that great, actully they were worse as they never had enough stock and still dont.

To be honest, I don't think MPD have been that bad. The only real complaint I would have is the 'exclusivity' and they ended up being the only place apart from Nokia where you could get an N900. For all we know the delay may have been Nokia's fault.

MPD have communicated better than many places where I have pre-ordered. If you want to see a bad company, go pre-order something from xpansys. Remember the MSI Winds date just ticking down until the day, then another 4-14 days were added on. This happend numerous times without communication.

With regards to the phones/online help. I just think they were overwhelmed and they should learn from this.

But here is the difference in "the buying experience" - he logs onto O2, orders, within a day gets confirmation of order and despatch with a tracking number. He gets his phone tomorrow ..

That's the difference between a pre-order and an order for a device that has been out for some time now! In a few months time you would have had the same experience with the N900.
