I think that Maemo like any other systems needs evangelists but also people which will complain by reporting bugs for changing and improving user interface, applications etc.

And thats what I plan to do.

The price for USA is $370.

If you live out of EU & USA please don't ask now the price in your currency. Instead, wait to be approved and see the price yourself in the Forum Nokia purchase tool.

If you have other questions about the program contact the email address indicated in the invitation. Thanks!

I even plan to switch carrier since mine doesn't offer a reasonable data plan, all in order to test all possible functions in a real setting.

Quim request this in another thread -- but it has bearing to those in this thread also. If you are developing something for Fremantle and you do not have access to any devices. Add yourself to this list.

I still haven't gotten my invitation despite having way higher karma than is needed to receive it.

I guess the first approvals will arrive on Monday, but if not please give them time. I have no idea about their current availability of devices and whether they can satisfy the demand before sales start. Thank you for your patience.

Anyone received their "approval" from FN yet ? :-)

No approval yet.

Canadians start out with -1000 Karma, so you needed 1200 Karma.

Sorry you only have earned 1104, maybe next year

Check the email address in your maemo.org profile. The invitation was sent to @newcon.org. I have forwarded to the other email address you seem to be using these days.
