As there are so many developers/contributors waiting for the US stores to
accept the discount codes that when it becomes available some will make a
fuss and then everyone will know for sure, officially or unofficially.

Yes, that is unfortunate. I am not an US citizen and I am not willing to US
to get my device either. And, as you properly mentioned, the
LetsTalk.comdoes not accept non-USA credit cards, so it is really
difficult for us, even
more difficult when you are uncertain of things, just like now.

I believe that the codes does not fully work in NokiaUSA because there is no
N810 in stock, so as soon as it becomes available the discount codes will
work (hopefully), I assume.

I have been waiting for a opportunity to get one Internet Tablet for more or
less one year now, and believe me, it is really not easy at all here in
Brazil. So the idea that it will be, at some point, possible for me get one
of these gadgets is something that is worthy waiting.
