Don't forget that there are many 'regular customers' that got the invitation to buy via the DDP. I am one of them. I probably won't buy one through this program since I have one of the loaners from the Summit. I'll see when the loaner program expires if I still want one. There are many factors weighing in my decision, and the actual device is not one of them. I love it. Other factors like the warranty, the cost relative to buying it from a retailer, our sad state of HSPA in Canada, etc.

FYI - my charger for the N900 has not worked since coming back from Amsterdam - less than one week of use and it was toast. Without a warranty on a DDP device, I am afraid that my 250 Euros or $400 CAD will be down the drain.

And do not get me wrong - I am grateful that Nokia has extended the offer to me, and am very grateful for the loaner N900. This DDP program just does not fit all people's situations, and that is also understandable.
