What "sign of involvement" would you need to confirm this? MPD is selling contracts within Flagship Store.

All in all, if that one is true (that you can buy N900 in-store from today), then it's actually great news for all of us. Read: we'll get N900 posted very very soon.

No, I'm fully aware of that. I read the forums very carefully thank you... one may even say religiously!

Its just funny that this morning on webchat they denied involvement there outright to me. Also, they've said they'll ship on a first ordered first served basis. Cashclientel ordered in NFS with MPD (for sake of argument) on the 21st... I ordered 1.5 months before him. Therefore, MPD have lied.

If their website claims exlcusivity, which it does, then that's also a lie, as other people who ordered in person got them first.

Bottom line is that its all a lie!

Making it bold does not make it true

MPD are saying they have no involvement there, Someone called Jon is saying they do, all i'm asking for is the guy who bought it there, to find a trace of MPD on his statement/receipt etc... - Nokia can go and do it on their own, in a store MPD don't run.... (Rumours and phrases ... hard to decipher either way)

If it's proved that it is definitley them involved then i agree entirely, and we should in theory start seeing MPD shipping notices....

Agree with this one, if MPD have involvement in any way with this one, then they have been lying to us about being first and exclusivity...

The hype is happening because people bought off MPD thinking that they would get the device first, and if people are walking out of the NFS with an MPD supplied contract, having ordered last week, then Im fuming as I ordered 8 weeks ago, based on their first to have it claim...

If there was no sign of the n900 aprt from Nokia direct, Id be happy to wait until the 3rd - its the thought of everyone else having one....

Speaking about MPD's involvement in selling contracts within NFS. Here we go:

1) Go to: http://www.nokiaretail.co.uk/stores/index.htm
2) CTRL-F
3) Type "flagship"
4) See results
5) Go to: http://www.nokiaretail.co.uk/customerServices/about.htm
6) See first line on that page

It can't be explained cleaner, I think.

Plus, if they do have in-store stock for contracts, then I reckon fulfilling online orders is now just a matter of very short time (today/tomorrow).

Please note that the offers and promotions on this website may not be available at the Nokia flagship stores which are operated directly by Nokia.

MPD do not run NFS. However, when I was there last week, one guy working there was pointed out as working for MPD, so he was probably dealing with these contracts.

It still sucks lots though.

That didn't really clear anythig up for me - unless I've missed something?! All it does is list the NFS but says its operated by Nokia directly...not MPD.

First line on that other page just explains how MPD are related (or not as the case may be) to Nokia... but we know that already.

What we DON'T know is that NFS have their contracts fulfilled 100% by MPD. Either way, they have not been exclusive. Sure, we should hope ours will arrive soon, but NFS got theirs in a different, direct from Nokia batch. MPD's shipment is not the same one - so we have to wait for that...which hasn't turned up yet! Not that I'm surprised though!! Lol.
