Feeling considerably less convinced about that, myself. I've had two pre-orders cancelled with shop.nokia.co.uk before this farrago, and I've got increasing misgivings about whether the direction Maemo is heading in matches my requirements anymore. ( I've been a Maemo user since the 770, love the tablets. )

Certainly, for the high price tag, I think I need to feel there's a competent organisation behind the device, and I'm not really getting a good sense of control or stability from the company over this fairly craptacular launch, coupled with Ovi etc. Still think the 900 is an interesting device, but I think it's not really for me right now.

I'm now 100% happy I cancelled mpd yesterday - cancelled them out of pure anger.... This morning NOS email me to say it's in stock and they are sending out my order!

MPD don't deserve any money here, but I still can't abandon nokia

Just ordered with NOS, so will probs be canceling my MPD order very soon

I ordered from MPD on 26/11/09. Do you think I'll have the N900 before 24th Dec? (that's when my PAC code expires)

wish i could afford the outright price of the device - until then i'm stuck with MPD.

yeah, in the same situation...I'm sorely tempted to go a little crazy on my credit card and buy the device sim-free, but I know I would regret it in the coming months (or at least my family would as they would be stuck eating spaghetti hoops for a few weeks )

Buying outright is a bit more expensive, but I've just about hhad it with the Muppet Procrastination and Deception store.

Or the MPDaephiles as I like to call them..

Thats a little bit Harsh!
Mobile Phonies in-Direct maybe...

A friend of mine I mentioned few posts back, who ordered HD2 with MPD yesterday got it delivered just few moments ago (less than 24hrs after placing na order). According to his words, SIM card wasn't put to the phone itself, it was in a separate box (apart from phone factory box).

Just a clarification how contracts work with MPD, as I was told by MPD chat some time ago that SIM card is going to be in the phone, which made me thinking that would be another blocking factor to fulfill the orders. Apparently, it isn't.

Btw, keep cancelling your MPD orders, guys. That gives the rest of us in better position once these delivery batches arrive. ;)
