i love the 2% thing, btw; incentivizes us to give more, and not to hesitate til the end, while ALSO shows us that you have an additional incentive to setup preorders asap.

also, its a bit early for such concerns, but i figure id say it now anyway: it would be far more convenient for me personally, to have this function as a discount {collecting less euros for the preorder} rather than a rebate {cutting a check or whatever after everything is said and done}.

I GODDAMN KNOW that there are only donations, just thought that it will be sold in the same shop. Obviously it's already shitty, because some people just can't donate.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we simply can't handle some countries (or rather the payment system can't since it verifies the data online to avoid credit card fraud). Please mailto: info AT goldelico DOT com to ask for details how to proceed.
See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1383547 please!

that's been the idea(s) behind it :-)

We will do exactly this. Sorry when "rebate" made you think different. Of course we will calculate beforehand the amount payable, not refund afterwards. Given all the hassle with money transfers it would be silly to do any other way.

After going through the neo900-feasibility.pdf one thing occurred to me. There was a "barometer/thermometer" planned in the original specs, but nothing about a thermometer is mentioned in the study. So is it planned to be omitted now or just that it falls under the same barometer sensor? I really hope it isn't omitted. One of the main uses I have for my N900 is offline navigation in the remote Himalayas.The thermometer could be an utterly useful feature!
Regards

I noticed the missing thermometer in specs as well, dunno where it dropped off the table, but I didn't concern too much since it's actually pretty hard to make a good thermometer that probes for real ambient temperature and not some "indoor" temp with "CPU-heating". IOW: I'll keep an eye on it, anyway the thermometer is a inherent component of barometer afaik, so it won't get "optimized out".

Thanks for mentioning it.
cheers

PS: note to self: consider using contacts to stylus as combined stylus-presence-detector (short when stylus missing), antenna for dunno FM(?) with special stylus#1, themo-sensor special stylus#2

Then I received the confirmation email..so I knew it went through.

I wondered whether there may be a false positive.

Hopefully not too many go through that...and hopefully it doesn't create extra work for you guys...
I had exactly the same experience. With my dutch Mastercard (I live in Germany, but my proxy can use either a german or a dutch IP) it failed, which lead me to even reset my SecureCode.

Then I tried with my german Mastercard, and it went fine.

If you haven't already done it, please report those issues to Nikolaus via e-mail. He's the one who's in charge of the shop, he might want to know some details so he may eventually be able to fix those problems. Thanks.
