Nothing in my box (spam or otherwise).

FWIW, nothing in my boxes.

Re: U.S. developers -- anyone received a code?
 

I haven't received any code as well, and I have asked US developers (well, non-European, which is mostly US, I think) on the #maemo IRC channel, and they haven't received a discount code as well.

I sent e-mail to maemo-developers last night requesting an update for non-European developers, and while there was no official update, a Nokia employee unofficially indicated to me that the discount codes for non-European developers have not gone out yet.

Well, either my evangelist credentials are good enough or the lack of progress on my e-book-browser plugin project wasn't discouraging. But I got my code a little while ago. (Hooray!)

Great to hear Roger! Hope the others start pouring in...

Re: U.S. developers -- anyone received a code?
 

Congratulations Roger. Can't wait to find out who else got one.

Ok, I have received *two* codes! The first one was an EU code, and when I went to nokiausa.com to order the N800, the code wasn't recognized. Quim.Gil at Nokia said they would swap out the EU code for a US code.

Today I got my US code. At first it wasn't accepted at nokiausa.com either, but then I tried typing it in by hand instead of cut-n-pasting from the email message and it was accepted.

However, after clicking the final "submit" button on the order request, I got a message saying "There has been a problem processing the order, please call us at 1-866-xxx-yyyy" I tried two different credit cards (MC, Visa) just to make sure the problem wasn't on my end.

So, I called the number. The guy at the other end couldn't help me because the coupon code is for "online orders only." (Even though the number I called answered "thank you for calling the nokiausa.com help line.") They eventually bumped me over to some other customer service rep.

The new rep finally talked to a "supervisor" and they agreed that the US coupon was valid. For some reason they couldn't put in the order, so they created another order on nokiausa.com themselves. Of course, it didn't go through either, so I was put on hold while they went off to debug their ordering system. They hung up on me after a while, as luck would have it.

So, I called 866.NOKIA.blah.blah.blah again. This time the rep went through the entire thing again, and finally after talking to another supervisor said "Sir, we're going to have to call you back. We are the Nokia Fulfillment Center, we are not Nokia. It looks like the codes are real but we don't have them yet. That means while it is accepted on the website, you can't use it. We will have to call Nokia to get the codes transferred and then you can order your device."

And that's how they left it. Anyone else have a similar story? They said 2-3 other people have called in with the same issues.

I know I am in Europe, Madrid Spain to be exact, just to advise that I was fortunate to receive a code late this afternoon. I have already ordered my N800 and am looking forward to seeing how AV Media streaming will be improved as Canola, Media Streamer and the underlying OS, browser and open source applications develop etc. (Not to mention the Internet browsing experience generally, which was already good on my Nokia 770)

---edit---Sorry to hear people are having problems using their codes in the States, just seen post about problem after posting.
