I'm afraid none of the people here (including the ones who work at
Nokia) have influence over how the discount codes are managed.
Aren't big corporations wonderful?

In my experience you'll need someone living in one of the "approved"
countries to buy the N810 with their own credit card.  Yes, this is
incredibly frustrating for those of us who are second-class citizens in
Nokia's eyes.

I hope you'll manage to get a working discount code, if the one you
originally got doesn't work any more.
