I tried a bit and it looks like there is a 'newer' Nokia shop page (Belgium, Austria...) and the 'older' one (Italy, Germany).
The 'older' one use Digitalriver to verify the discount code. If I block digitalriver with noscripts extension, nothing happens.
How can it be, that the code is working for users from Italy and it doesn't work for users from Germany if it's the same place who verify the codes for Nokia?? (Digitalriver)

Well, we do know that there's something shop/country-specific going on by the French being the only ones with the "full price being substracted as discount" bug so far. If the data is entered on a per-country basis, the German operation might have gone wrong for some reason or another.

I find the visa/mc/mastercard-only policy to be very lame. In Germany the traditional way to pay is with a free bank transfer, or a legal authorization to a vendor to debit from one's account.

So to order from amazon for example, I simply authorize them as a vendor and they can debit from my bank account. To order from other online vendors, I can either transfer the money, or order cash-on-delivery (nachnahme).

Since Nokia appears to have independent country-specific online shops, it is downright insulting for the German shop to demand visa/mc/mastercard to place an order. Forcing me to apply to various banks for a credit card and subject myself to their violations of financial privacy should be illegal here.

Does that mean that your code has started working, btw?

So sad to see that almost a week into the new year and there's still not even an acknowledgement (let alone an explanation) from maemo.org of the major infrastructure failure that occurred following the release of OS2008... very sad.

This is not a well run open source project at all - too many internal conflicts which then come across as arrogance and contempt for the community. :(
