[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] "This Nokia N800 discount code is for you"

[From: Larry Battraw]

  Warning-- do NOT empty your cart like I did.  I got the exact same
message and when I called the help desk I got passed to three
different people, all of which said they couldn't help me.  I tried
emptying my cart to see if that would help in letting them process the
code, but no dice.  Once you enter the code (Whether the order
completes or not!) it's locked out and no longer valid.  I now had to
find some kind soul on the Maemo team and try to convince them I
really didn't use my code :-(
