Seems as though one developer has been able to order the N810 today, using an activated discount code:

http://www.jan-jansen.be/index.php/2...et_n810_part_5

Could the rest of us finally get our devices?! The excitement mounts... :)

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
Unfortunately mine isn't still working :-(( Perhaps because i didn't select the Nokia-UK online shop (I guess thats the online shop that Jan Jansen used...)?? I hope others are more lucky!

TenSpeed 2008-01-03 18:28

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
Nope, it seems Jan just had a bit of luck; those Belgians must be pretty nice! :)

I just tried the Nokia Canada shop, and there doesn't even seem to be a place to enter the code. Mind you, they're still saying, "Order by Dec 19 for delivery by Dec 25", and charging 6% GST (tax); the GST went to 5% on January 1st.

Maybe next week. I'm pulling for the "enhanced N810i" theory.

Nokia Italy still doesn't accept codes :-(

PhilipX 2008-01-03 20:37

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
Ok, little correction. Mine also worked!! Nokia.be just doesn't have a link to an online shop , therefore I tried the UK website (which does have a link to an online shop). But as also being a Belgian and by visiting "http://direct.nokia.com/countries.aspx?model=N810", I finally got my discount code to work. Perhaps this also works for other countries??
A lot of thanks to Jan for the tip!

Mine doesn't work neither :( French Nokia online store.

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
Ah, to be in Belgium in the grey of winter...

So, with Jan and PhilipX taken care of, that leaves, what, 498 developers???

Should be sorted out by December 15th, as promised ;)

hey no good so far on the us site still... for those of you who managed to get it to work in europe, where did the promotion prompt show up? ive only got the standard gift and coupon code fields still...

ovjo12 2008-01-03 22:36

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
In Nokia Shop I was ask about the promotion Code, the discount is clearly mentioned after filling it in. It's also visible when performing the payment.

sfitz 2008-01-03 22:48

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
I went out to some of the other Nokia shops and they have an obvious field for the discount code. However for the US the shop is run by Let's Talk, and where I am thinking much (if not all) of the fiasco has come from.

So it looks as if due to all the rants they decided to open up what Nokia controls and let the US happen when LetsTalk.com can pull their webservices out of their axis. :)
sorry a little java geek humor.

And I was hoping for that n810i with wimax and a 25mw argon lazer. ;)

Congrates to those that could get the codes working... that's some progress.... and gives the rest hope.

I thought it was supposed to have the teleport feature?

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
How do these codes work with the exchange rate? I.e. is it a set price, regardless of currency, or a set number, ie. 145 USD/EUR/etc?

sfitz 2008-01-04 04:02

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
If I remember correctly it's 99.00Eur or the equiv US$ which is currently 145.88
So I'm expecting to pay in the US about 150+S&H.

-Shawn

MoxFulder 2008-01-04 07:39

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
yes it is 99€ and not 99$

No luck with germany (nokia.de) yet.

http://shop.nokia.de/nokia-de/product.aspx?sku=3752591

The 'einkaufswagen' (shopping basket) gives me a field for the code, but when i enter code, it says not valid.

Has anybody in Germany gotten it to work?

Don't forget Murphy's law.

Ok, first of all, I invented the N810 8GB thing. I made it myself. But I have no relation with the N810i 8mb+faster GPS thing. I don't know if this is a casuality, internal info or my proposal converted into a rumour.

Said that. Do you thing It would be clever to use the discound code before being notified to do so? What if that invention of mine or the rumor has some truth on it?

How would you feel if you buy the product a day earlier just to discover next day's email telling you your codes are operative AND a new N810i is in the market?

Murphy's law...

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
Uhm... it looks like discount codes work only on those countries in which the "direct.nokia.com" shop exists.

If you go on http://direct.nokia.com/countries.aspx?model=N810 and try to look at the various contries, you will see that countries like Belgium and Sweden let you buy the N810 on that store, while countries like France and Italy redirect you to "shop.nokia.X", where the discount code does not work :(

Khertan 2008-01-04 11:02

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
"like France and Italy redirect you to "shop.nokia.X", where the discount code does not work"

It s redirect you when the cookies for country is not set, but if this one is set, you can see on http://direct.nokia.com/Product.aspx?model=N810

That n810 isn't available in France on this store.

n800 is available on the french direct.nokia.com store for 259 Euros, but on the boutique.nokia.fr store where you are redirected when you choose the country it is available at 360 Euros .... !!!

boutique.nokia.fr -> 360 Euros
direct.nokia.com -> 259 Euros

Diff : 101 Euros ... OUCH !!!

Canadian contributors will receive further information next week.

Remember that your discount code is: XXXX. The code will be valid until the end of February. Please keep it in a safe place since this is the last time we will send it. If you have further questions please contact the customer care channel of your shop.

We had to make some changes in some codes. In case the code listed here is different than the one you received, this is the good one.

The maemo team wishes you a great time playing with the N810. Remember to share your plans and contributions at http://maemo.org ."


Next week for us Canadians, and later today for everyone else. Seems worth the wait now, doesn't it?!

Maybe ThoughtFix will get his in time for CES after all...

Hey, you're right, USA isn't mentioned. Sorry, ThoughtFix.

Well I'm in the USA and got the message with no link to a US shop.

Looks like we may need to talk with letstalk.com... :mad:

Yup sucks to be in the US.

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
I just tried the discount code. It seems that the discount code works ONLY on the store initially chosen at submission. I tried with both the Italian and French stores, and my code works only on the French one. At that time I had specified France, without thinking to the AZERTY keyboard.... does anybody know if it is possible somehow to change this preference?

iancumihai 2008-01-04 14:52

Re: Discount Codes Being Sent Now
 
can the discount code be moved from France to Italy let's say?
he keyboard layout is azerty in france :(
