I had same dilemma, but apperantly it is normal (somehow our developer usernames aren't associated to our accounts for login). I believe that this is due to merging accounts inside of Nokia.
However, I am not 100% sure about this, if someone could confirm it would be great.

What I know for sure is that we need to give that username located at developer.nokia.com page (upper right corner)

Quite a lot of confusion going on!
What I guess is going here:
Nokia merged/screwed databases for their different login systems.
Now all accounts are linked and you need to login with your Nokia account name (or e-mail), not anymore your developer account name.
I have chosen them to be the same, but it looks like the developer account may be different to the Nokia account. And then you may not login anymore with your developer name, but Nokia name.
Drax and aStrike, could you please check and confirm?

Only some cities are accepted, but town isn't for example.

But you do have two lines to enter your complete address and a postal code (which I also included in above two lines).
Nearest city is somehow restricted to cities (for country boys ). And I think does not reflect the vcity/town/village you are living in.

Relax! I attended last year's competition and also didn't get anywhere, but I totally enjoyed the experience. I later got several devices due to the app I developed, so you never know.

If you want you can publish it to Nokia Store and hopefully earn some pocket money.

I think I voted for your app by the way.

That is normal. The developer account username is no longer used for login (it was stated when they implemented sso). You can login with either your email, or your nokia.com (old ovi.com) username.

When I go to developer.nokia.com, I can only login with my email, on nokia.com I can't find anywhere login.
Next I tried to login at store.ovi.com, and I can configure my account, however I can't find anywhere username (for example, when I go to store.ovi.com, it doesn't say "Hi Some_User", instead I get "Hi my@email.com".
So I guess that we can login only using emails.

Try
https://acount.nokia.com

And when you log in there and just open developer.nokia.com, you should be automatically logged in.

This field is actually quite funny - last time I've checked it, it was able to identify even small cities in some European countries, but wasn't aware of country capitals (sic!) existence, in some other (also European). Don't ask me, why they have implemented such ridiculous and confusing, yet *mandatory* field.

Hi guys, yep the whole accounts merge/username thing seems to be pretty confusing - thanks for helping each other and pointing out the correct bits and pieces of info

I have a collection of odds and ends from folks, some have given me several different usernames, phone numbers, account history... But I'm not sure what to do with all that lol Also please don't send me any sensitive account info, leave that between yourself and your Nokia account

From what I understand from your posts, your Nokia developer username doesn't sign you in anymore.. either your email address or your standard Nokia username does. But once you're logged in, you should be able to access the developer.nokia.com site and see your developer username once in there.

if you provide me with that developer username and your email address, I'll pass both on so the Nokia rep can verify your account with both details. That should minimise any problems.

in the meantime, please check that your address details in both the developer account and the standard Nokia accounts match. Just in case, so you won't need to go to Papua New Guinea to collect your phone (unless you live there ofcourse!).

Yep, i also understand the 'nearest city' field in the Nokia developer account is silly. My nearest city is 45 miles away and I wouldn't like to have to go there to track down my parcels. There is a second address line to add the correct details, and as long as your post/zip code is correct there shouldn't be any problems. I wouldn't expect the 'nearest city' would appear on an address that is used for posting items, it's probably there as some kind of survey/research details for calculating the number of site users in an area..

I have usernames from most people .. I'm off to rugby training in a hour, and if I don't receive anything from the last few tonight I'll send them an email bump before bed.
