With the way it is done it may be that it will take a while and there 
may be be more rounds. Some contacted people may already have the 
device, some may not be interested (this is one problem with the 'we 
call you' method). So it would be good to annouce both start and end. It 
would let people know when they should check their spam folders to fish 
the mail out from other, less interesting discounted offers :-) Also 
last time developers from countries where N770 was not sold at all got 
their devices month later and differently (I hope they won't be 
forgotten now too) so the whole process may indeed take a while. The 
best would be some page with counter like 'x devices still available' or 
occasional mail to mailing list telling us how it goes. Thanks.
