Did they say that the n900 was "enabled on your account" if you logged in to a special web page to confirm your password and bank information?

See email pasted below.

Hi John,

thank you for your email.
N900 is enable to your account.
We will inform by email once the device is available in our service after which you can fill in the order.
That should be very soon.

No soup for me either...

I did precisely as I was instructed... and nothing more.

I didn't put any other text in the email.

BTW, I have been on my best behavior ever since I sent it too. I even combed my hair and made sure my shirt was tucked in before responding to this thread...

Hmm, I signed up and sent my request per Quim just yesterday, and today I received:

(I didn't brush my hair first or do anything like that before sending, but I did tell the recipient, whoever she would be, if she would be a she, since I didn't yet know it was specifically Nora, that I was certain she was very attractive and that in order to please her I had recently given up smoking. Perhaps that's why I heard back so promptly?)

Does this mean that all mails sent on the same Friday Quim gave the signal have been lost, and we should re-send them ? :-)

Maybe they send you that mail if you hassle them. After all, it is a gentle request to be patient and wait for their e-mail "once the device is available."

Well, if so, a simple acknowledgement (as in, "we got your mail, just sit tight till you get our next one") would have saved everybody a lot of teeth-gnashing and hair-pulling... :-)

Agreed, did the mail get caught in the spam filter somewhere? Was the username accepted? Closed loop feedback. Makes the world go around (or at least my world).

This means what? Does it advance the subject any? The feeling I'm getting from some of the recent posts in this thread is that there are people like myself who are afraid ~~they~~ that either they:

-Did not understand the instructions and responded incorrectly.

-Or, for whatever reason, were not on the list that maemo.org provided or have since been determined to have not met the requirements.

Perhaps we were not verbose enough in our replies and did not establish a rapport with "Nora" or whoever. Or as I hope, this is not a normal duty for those assigned to verify this information and they are doing it as they can while maintaining their "normal" pre launch work load.

I know I do not want to be a PITA to the people responsible for this benefit as I'm sure they have their hands full this close to the launch.

Can you as a Council member help us out with some useful info here?

That N75 on the eStore is starting to look mighty tempting...

Some sort of feedback would be nice - like YoDude I have no idea if the details I submitted in the email were satisfactory, or if the email was received at all.
