Fine, but a post here from those in the know wouldn't do any harm would it? The lack of communication has always been one of the biggest problems where Nokia and Maemo are concerned, and obviously that isn't improving. With the DDP going into radio silence the situation has now got even worse.

That is a very big issue, and a direct question from me on the matter emailed to DDP has gone unanswered for several days now.

Again, the matter could be addressed very simply through this forum, by the people who are responsible for setting up the developer device program and who chose to use Forum Nokia which has been nothing short of a disaster. At least when buying through the Nokia Store the previous discounted devices had full warranties.

I really don't think it's fair to charge people €250 for a device (which may be their primary device as they can't afford a second) and to then only warranty it for one week.

It's an odds on certainty that some of the discounted devices will fail after one week but within one year and there will be hell to pay when the owners start whining about how they've been left with a useless €250 brick and Nokia are refusing to repair it.
