Ah yes, nokiausa.com.

I was among the many "victims" of the nokiausa on-line rollout fiasco last fall. In spite of the amazing deal a sympathetic call center rep gave me at the time ($485 after numerous discounts), I got sick of their system flagging me and canceling my orders and went with another retailer (it's not a deal if they won't let your cc go through, right?).

But, like a sucker/lemming who never learns his lesson I bit on this deal--a potentially free n900 put me on notice. I figured that the worst that could happen is that NokiaUSA would find a way to cancel my order: and since I already have a n900, no harm no foul.

It looks like NokiaUSA were up to their usual shenanigans with my order switching between various statuses, with the order disappearing and reappearing again at one point. So, they finally got around to e-mailing my shipping notice, which was quite amusing since the FedEx guy showed up with my package three days ago. As someone mentioned earlier, it's no wonder that Nokia has lost most of their share in the US, it's almost as though they are going out of their way to avoid selling to you!

Anyway, I've been too busy to play around with it, but there does seem to be a couple of very minor hardware changes on my new one compared to the one that I received in early December. Perhaps I'll post something in the "Hardware Revision" thread if the changes are interesting enough...
