Well maybe Mr. T hacked the game, and made a mowhawk class? And maybe Mr. T is pretty handy with computers? Had that occurred to you Mr. Condescending Director?

I went ahead and bought mine, SSN be damned. The operator -- who
was very, very polite and helpful BTW -- stated that the units were
back-ordered until Nov 27.
I've placed phone orders with Nokia before, and with the exception of
whole SSN issue, the whole experience was much better than it was in the past.
A $75 dollar discount and free 2 day (UPS) shipping is a pretty good deal.
I spend a lot of money on tools and gadgets for work, so I'm somewhat numb to sticker shock. Even so, $479 was enough money that I was starting to feel some pain, so I'm glad that I was able to get it for a more comfortable price.

Yes but you were there in person and I bet you showed adequate ID - to at least reasonably confirm your US residency - like an IL drivers license.
Someone calling on the phone is a whole different animal - could be calling via Gizmo on their N770 from damn near anywhere... The thing that tipped us off was that they will only ship to the credit card billing address. Seems to me that would be enough though.
I know - it's STUPID but hey I don't work for the US state dept and I'm not responsible for whatever dumb *** rules they make up. In my job (IT manager) I've had to supply Dun and Bradstreet numbers, banking contacts and state and federal tax numbers for the same reasons. When I started my IT career 20+ years ago it was illegal to export Unix of any flavor because it used DES to encrypt things like passwords...

Nokia has the N810 in stock and ready to ship as per my verification phone call one hour ago.
If you ask you can get a $75 discount making price $409.99.
Free Fedex shipping. You will probably also have to pay sales tax.
Nokia's number is 888-665-4228 (do a google search to confirm this is really Nokia if you wish). Choose option 1, option 2, option 1
Phone is shipped throught letstalk.com.
Nokia does some wierd validation checking. They will ask for your Social Security Number and maybe some other non-standard stuff.
I ordered mine on Friday Nov 16. At that time Nokia said they were back ordered. Today Nov 19, I got an email with tracking number for Nov 21 delivery.

Why is everyone else selling GPS's including N810 and not asking for a SSN#
Who cares if you are using a Gizmo it is still being shipped to a US location.
When I bought my N95-3 no ID was asked just gave him my credit card and I am not even from Illinois.
You don't have an obligation to give them the information.
However,
They don't have an obligation to accept your transaction.
