For those who haven’t got it yet, the Water charges are just another ‘Stealth’ Tax. It was NEVER intended to fund water services. It was an excuse to tax the people of Ireland, suggested to them by the Troikia to pay for the Bank Bailout.
If you think that 0.005€ per liter is magiclly derived from average water usage, to arrive at ~280€ per month you would have been shocked if it had been 1.00€ per liter to arrive at that same monthly figure had the usage data been lower.
From the email this morning…
We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers :“Nokia N900 Mobile Computer with Maemo 5 Software”
Estimated arrival date: December 17 2009One of Amazon’s aims is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have fallen short. Please accept our sincere apologies.
I order this on the
2nd of Oct 2009
and this is the third delay. Could Nokia get the release of this phone more wrong? No! they have nothing to release, it’s a fake, vaporware! There are stories out there of Nokia shipping empty boxes to keep up the illusion. I’t no wonder that the boxes themselves look so cheap, they are cheap mockups.
Time to look for another REAL smartphone.
UPDATE: It REALLY is a fake I just received this email from Amazon on Sunday the 13th;
