Re: very upset about Ovi store
 

Angry Birds game alone sold more than 4 million copies on the iPhone by June. (most likely 5 million by the time I write this) Even if they sold it at $1 each, that's US $5 million whopping dollars. Team of 5 people for 2 months? wow. I would love to be in that team right now.

It's a different market. PS3/PC games still cost just as much right now as back in your old days. (I go back over 20 years also)

Also, $2 is $2. If I also got ripped $3 over what I expected to pay, I would be annoyed. They are rich. I'm not.

In real life I build credit card processing systems - sometimes I get paid for it too : )

I have to say it's trivially simple to screw up, you never mean to do it, but you do - corporate drones want you to have a system fully built and running yesterday, screw testing, for whatever their latest cute little pet project happens to be. CC companies want you to comply with PCI-DSS, nobody wants to write policies, external scanning fails, your hosting provider drags their feet on security, and a myriad of other time sinks that can trip you up along the way.

More than once I've forgotten to switch operating flags over to production mode. The other big problem is that the store administrators regularly enter incorrect taxation values, wrong prices, forget to subtract any discounts or promos, and on and on.

No excuse that they haven't contacted you though, that's just plain old poor customer service.

Good luck, I'd do what others have said and talk to Visa / MasterCard / whoever and do a chargeback. It's a painless process for all involved with the exception being the seller who is then out of pocket. (Maybe rightfully so in this case)

We're waiting for you to tell us how you had to walk 5 miles uphill to get to the nearest RJ45 port when you were young...

I was hit with another charge when I bought the qik app. I forgot how much. I will check tomorrow and get back to this thread.

You forgot to tell him that you should expect Danramos to speak up and raise a pitchfork and torch calling for the heads of Ovi to bring out their monster... er, their management so that we can hold them accountable! ;)

I didn't claim to be Nostradamus yet. That's my next trick.

On fourth and thenceforth fifth step twain
Doth will an announcement clearly spoken remain
The quarter, week and day predicted will not contain
The Nokia MeeGo product released, not in a main
Delay! I say to thee in this fifth line in a supposed quatrain

Okay, maybe I need to work with making it sound better once typed out than it did in my head. Thank the benadryl for the above.

Re: very upset about Ovi store
 

That sounds like a hold was placed on your credit card and then released. Most credit cards tend to approve a small amount - in the US, if you get petrol and use a credit card, they pre-approve at least $1 USD to make sure that you can at least charge something onto the credit card.

Keep an eye on it, most holds clear up and never come back. But you should still doublecheck with your card company and confirm it was indeed a hold.

This... is looking up for you it seems. Good.
