This is the very first geek website where the geeks are so dense. You guys are making us Brits look bad
There is only one Nokia Flagship store in the uk: http://www.flagship.nokia.com/
By the way my local corner shop is coca cola's flagship store, if of course we go by the same logic
and using your Coca-Cola analogy is that store calling itself coca-cola? no. its advertising there is a difference. there is only one Brit on this thread making us look bad.

The analogy he is trying to make was that just because something brands itself in the correct colour scheme and uses the right fonts, it doesnt mean its the real deal.
He may be wrong on the fact that there is one more flagship store, at Heathrow, however I think its a fair enough assumption that lots of Nokia staff may not have heard of one of their affiliates in UK, Nokia Retail.

man i think they shut at 8:00 lol
rang there at about 5:30 abd a woman said that they were expected next thursday/friday. I ignored this because I dont believe anything they say anymoe.
Anway, fingers crossed I get it before Wednesday as I have a conference in Bristol on Thursday and Friday and it would come in useful for note-taking (via Xournal probably).

Can I just say a huge thanks to the mods for letting us keep this thread. It must be tempting to merge all the delivery threads into one. (One thead to rule them all..)
But this UK-centric thread is the only place I can bear to check. What with the cross-posting, people citing 'Nokia' 'Expansys' or 'Amazon' without specifying where they're from, and the slight... err... over-enthusiasm of a few people, I'm finding the other threads challenging. This one is more manageable.
I do wonder though - we've received a fair amount of information/dis-information along the road here: how much was from Nokia.co.uk and how much from NokiaRetail?
As far as dispatch: I don't think anyone in the UK has had a dispatch email yet (matching what Hannah said to me yesterday - next week, starting Monday, in reservation order). People in Italy and France have been notified, so we're a weekend behind them. But with luck the first fortunate few will have their n900s next week. can I put in a plea that they don't gloat?

The fact MPD sell other branded phones aswell Sony Ericsson, LG ect speaks for itself really. It is just a franchise but hopefully as the N900 front page says it may have first exclusivity rights with Nokia for retail.
Yes I have ordered from MPD and am expecting it 1-2 after the 3rd per the E-mail.

Nokia.co.uk is THE NOKIA lol and nokiaretail is the actual retailer for NOKIA but MPD is the only website advertising it... if you check, MPD directs you to nokiaretail.co.uk
nokia.co.uk is a webshop owned by nokia and outsourced to another company.
