IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THOSE WHO PREORDERD THROUGH MPD
For those who have bought a contract/N900
You do realize that your phone will not dispatch on the day they get it, right?
They have to do a credit check and crucially that credit check will not take place until the phone is in stock.
And each credit check can take 1-5 days.
I was informed of this today, therefore I canceled and preorderd with nokia (not nokia retail)

I reckon MPD might be telling porkies.

Nope
Not true
People want this phone so badly that they'll disregard my advice but here's what happened to me...
I signed up to experian to check my credit history and found that the most recent credit search on my name took place last week.
Which I found confusing seeing as I ordered my n900 on a tmobile contract early in oct.
So I rang up. Spoke to a girl who said it would be dispatched the day they get it in yada yada. Then I explained my position, experian etc etc. And she immediately sounded guilty.
So I asked to speak to the manager who then explained that my credit report was accurate and that their policy is to only do a credit check once the phone is in stock.
I'm sure to the unsuspecting they'll continue with the line "Shipping will commence immediately once we receive stock."
Because it is partly true. Sim free orders will be dispatched.immediately Contract deals however, well you'll have to wait for that.
& I'm sure people will be quick to respond by telling me "MPD SAID AS SOON AS THEY GET STOCk"
While conveniently forgetting mpd up until sunday night were promising to start deliveries 16.11.09. / TODAY
This validity of the above is easily checkable

Haven't you seen adverts all around on all mobile operators saying next day delivery on phone contracts?

I confirm that T-Mobile performed a credit check on me on the day I provided them with my details, i.e.: 7th October. FYI, I never had a contract phone (let alone with T-Mobile) and never bought anything from MPD.

i wanna tell all of you regarding the credit check that the day (5 oct) when i pre-ordered mine after one day i called MPD that when should i receive the phone so they asked me the order no. when i tell them they said that you credit check has been approved so will get it as soon as we will get it in stock and they were right because i asked T-mobile checked my account and i hv seen in my statement that tmobile charged me 4 pounds but after 2 days they refunded the money that shows that they do credit checks as soon as they receive the details....Hope this help you all....

Like others have said, even if they did DID do the credit check later it takes a matter of seconds to do so would only delay if you were denied credit.
