A quick question:
If I apply for the program, how long will I have to do effective the discount?

I mean, it's impossible for me to use 300 € for something different to food and bills until the next February.
But if it's possible to use the discount in February, I'd apply.

With painless I mean easy.

"The price is higher now, but more than 300 were given away for free... "

Not for free ... for loan until april.

It looks like if your application is approved, the N900 would appear as an item you can purchase at forum.nokia.com's estore.

That's a neat way of doing it.

Can I kindly ask if any of you are contemplating Flash/Flex dev on these devices that I could assist or be "in the know" at least in terms of performance, do's and dont's?

Sadly enough, my karma is waaaaay too low to register as even a blip on the aforementioned list of community karma.

I know/understand NDA's, but thought I'd put that out there.

Will the devices be shipped to our homes or will be just like in the past where we get a code to buy online ? I'm just asking this to know if I should save some money for the taxes

Cheers!

Well I received the email, but I am not sure I will purchase on the developer device program.

I can get one new for $549

I can get one for $449 on the developer device program.

I am really hoping to get one from a carrier for $200 or less. Not really much of a discount if you ask me.

They didn't give 300 devices for free. It's not a gift, it's a loan. Completely different.

Of course I can continue developing and testing my application until 31th of April, but what if I cannot afford spending 300€?

It's much more than the 99€ that N810 costed to developers.

I really don't know what to do now....

I got nice ideas for apps, so I'm highly interested in getting one device as part of the dev program for the app I have in mind - but it seems I don't have enough karma. Maybe not active enough on maemo.org, who knows ?

Any change of getting wildcards for low karma based on app ideas and presentations ? Or should I begin working harder on the forum waiting for the maemo 6 release ?

I'm not complaining (really!) but it hurts a bit to see people who've joined less than a month ago, and whose posts are somewhat fluffy, who already have more karma than me.

But I know and accept that any developer program must be somewhat arbitrary. "The perfect is the enemy of the good", as they say. C'est la vie.
