What I can do is pop in there Thurs night and give you guys a heads up on whether they have had a delivery or not and then you can take it from there..

well, i waited ages for concrete release info, have ignored the criticism of MPD and nokia (and the fact the phone has a resistive screen) and have fallen hook, line and sinker for this 'dec 3rd' figure, ordering with MPD, voda contract, 18 months.
have just (nearly) completed 18 months with an orange BB contract, but at least there were some software updates to make it feel a bit newer in that time. hopefully the adaptability of the n900 will make the timeframe bearable (and i'll be able to get through every SNES game i've never played). plus i want to be in a position to upgrade to a maemo 6 device if the n900 turns out not to be compatible. worked out better value than the 24 month too.
one thing i don't get is these people who add up the contract costs (including unltd web and text), come out with a figure bigger than the sim-free cost and decide it's better value. am i missing something?
fingers crossed either way. as long as it comes before xmas i don't really care.

Why is everyone who works in that place called webshop? Didn't their parents like them?

given that i spend £10/month on PayG credit currently (which is about as cheap as it is possible to be), if you take the sim free cost of £392 and add £180 in monthly cost you come to a grand total of £572.
which makes it £105 more expensive to go sim-free for a product that has ZERO data and less minutes/texts than the contract will provide.
that make it any clearer?

Nokia of course are ultimately to blame for all of this - this is a disgrace. Lets hope Jon is correct - can Nokia really handle another PR disaster?...
