just got new emails one was canceling order others was that it had been ordered, i dont think its any con just looked in my nokia shop account and new order is there.
i really hope they are telling us the truth when they said by having to re-order we are not pushed to the back of the list

Just checked on nokia.co.uk There are now two orders there, so I guess the guy with the scandinavian accent was kosher. No discernable difference between the two orders. Here's hoping I don't end up with two :-)

I don't think this person knows much:

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly.

Hello Matt. My name is Webshop Customer Help how can I help you?

Matt says:
Hi, Nokia UK have stated that they shipping the n900 out on the 9th. Are you guys doing the same?

Webshop Customer Help says:
No

Matt says:
Do you have an ETA?

Matt says:
I thought you had an exclusive release straight from nokia?

Webshop Customer Help says:
We do Sir but UK release isnt until 16 nov

Matt says:
Quit a lot of people have spoken to Nokia UK today and have been told that they are shipping on the 9th. Is there a chance you don't have the most up to date info?

Webshop Customer Help says:
No Sir, the 16th

Matt says:
And this is nation wide? The 16th is the earliest anywhere in the UK that the device will be released?

Webshop Customer Help says:
as far as im aware

Matt says:
Okay thanks for the info.

maybe hes telling the truth but twisting it a little,
Nokia will start shipping there own pre-orders on the 9th but 3rd party retailers will have to wait a week longer for nokia to stock them maybe, this is always the case in the past Nokia UK have always shipped the UK pre-ordered versions a week or two before they stock anyone else with UK versions. but that does not mean you wont find Euro versions on sale in UK before hand by 3rd party retailers

Maybe, but their site claims:

'PRE-ORDER - EXCLUSIVE DISPATCH MID NOV FROM OUR NOKIA STORES.'

False advertisement much?

Hi,
Any of you UK guys pre-order from Nokia using some discount codes? I got the mail to contact Nokia, but it seems they have further difficulties and said they need to talk to management first and get back to me!? I'm wondering if the discount codes are confusing things, especially if they have now expired, maybe a new order isn't straight forward. Or they don't like it that I had a discount!

I'll update if they get back in touch.
All the best to everyone waiting... surely it can't be too far away...

Regards,
Ads.

i'm not using codes,
but i can see how using codes will be problem though as they are having to re-order devices for us and if codes are now invalid you will have to pay more

Are you sure such codes will work?

I thought the N900 is excluded from any discount actions?

I used discount codes, and when I phoned about an hour ago the rep confirmed the price with discount codes and despatch during the first week of Nov. I haven't received any emails yet, so I guess this could change.

Hoping the codes remain valid - I don't think I would be willing to pay full price.

Nokia guy told me that we are fine as long as the re-auth on the credit card was successful we keep our placement, mine was OK thankfully, so I'm hoping to get my N900 in my hands on the 11/12th
