Karel, I asked on another thread but didn't get a reply, probably because the thread dropped off or something.
I'm usually interested in your posts, and i know you are obviously interested in/a supporter of the Pandora, but do you actually have an *interest* in it, ie in some business sense? I know it's really none of my business, but as someone who checks this forum daily and finds it a great source of both information and entertainment (for many reasons) and i'd dearly like to know,
cheers!

I'm in the funny situation that GBP still keeps going down (but isn't that also true for GBP vs. USD?), so while I'm waiting for the CC setup to come online I'm getting to pay less and less.. 3% less as of today. With luck the change should cover any extra charges I may run into. Whereas, if I had paid via bank transfer the same day as the refund arrived I would have come out even (except for the bank transfer charge, which is a bit large to stomach.. one of the reasons I'm waiting for the CC setup, while the pound keeps dropping.)

I'm not overly worried about the money (as in whether it's a scam), just that I can see the Pandora moving progressively backwards into the assumed launch date for the "N900" ...

Simply because Nokia has got ...mmm... a history of delivering mobile devices, including three previous tablet models.
These N900 vs Pandora wars are absolutely silly.. and petty!
PS: As to which one is "better" I have no idea, especially considering that neither is available yet. It probably depends on what you want from your device.

Actually, my 2000 probably would have been a better one, 'cuz it's bigger.
