That's where I was first looking. Then I tried to check the ovi store.

At forum.nokia, the store is the "Devices" tab? Or am I missing something? :confused: I do see the N900 as a device choice among others, but there is no way I can place an order for it.

Well, considering all the other restrictions of the DDP program I'm not terribly disappointed if I didn't qualify... :rolleyes:

Click the premium button and under that you should see e-store. But did you get an email from ddp saying that the n900 has been added to your estore? WIthout that email i dont think it will be there. And you get that email after you are approved.

Hope this helps.

I didn't get any e-mails from the DDP. The phone just appeared in my eStore. The eStore should appear as a tab in Forum Nokia once you become a Pro member. I went there and it only has an unrelated phone and some support options. Upon hitting the refresh button in my browser, the N900 mysteriously appeared.

EDIT: The eStore is found under the "Premium Services" tab. It is the last of the gray links under the tabs when you go there.

Thanks, It does help. Could it have made any more difficult to find? :rolleyes:

Unfortunately the N900 is not there... :( Obviously my application is not yet approved, or they did run out of the devices they have allocated for DDP.

Oh man. With a "customs value" like that, it is going to have a crushing amount of taxes and stuff attached to it here in Canada... Why not 250 EUR?! :confused: :(

That device was a loaner and it is not the same program. It was from nokia word of mouth. I hope we dont need to pay taxes and also we can use the rebate....

This is all we can promise since we clearly can't substitute Nokia Care services.

Thanks! This is better than a mere one-year warranty! (smile)

Who is that guy? Does anyone know him?

Would it have been quicker to claim I'm a well read blogger, analyst, dental floss tycoon, whatever, bombard sites with posts proving my passion for all things Maemo, and then gone with this word of mouth, Blogger Relations Program?

That would suck on so many levels (but help me understand a few things about motivation ;) )... I've maintained a mobile blog since December 2005. I only use it to support my forum posts and it's not a commercial endeavor but hell, my first Maemo post was 6 months before this guy even started with S60 posts. :eek:

Dang. If I new it meant something I would have spruced it up a bit. A least swept the dust under the rug and got rid of the beer cans and pizza boxes. Maybe offered Karelian pies to visitors and whatnot. :D

He gets points for adding "and Maemo news" to the sub-title bar though. :p
