Slightly OT but still Nokia sales related...

Maybe you could mention to "the right person" that the official Nokia Case is impossible to purchase from the US and UK Nokia online stores[1], which also means the Tableteer "Buy it now" link doesn't work for US/UK owners - it's a dead end which leads nowhere and is very frustrating.

In addition, in the UK at least, the case is being sold at a very high price (£25.95/$56 on Expansys UK[2], compared to $21+tax from buy.com in the US) and I'd like to think Nokia UK would be selling it for a more reasonable price, but unfortunately they don't seem to be selling it at all! :)

Finally, accessories for the 770/N800, such as replacement stylus packs, are not easily available from the online store either - they are/were accessible via hidden links[3] (select UK then access the "hidden page" again) but are impossible to find on the site by searching.

Perhaps both these problems (Case and accessories) are specific only to the UK (and even US) sites, but it sure would be good if someone could sort it out... I assume Nokia does want to sell stuff to it's customers? :)
