Face The Task - No more N96

So the 96 limited edition N96’s have all been allocated, even though there may be some disgruntlement at the way Nokia is to release the phones to those lucky enough to win one, or committed enough to bid for one.

Have you one one, either through the free competition or by bidding for one and donating to WWF?

If you have let us know, and let us know when Nokia let you know when you can expect to recieve it.

Face the Task storm brewing for Nokia?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Over at The Nokia Blog a reader has complained that he won’t be getting his N96 any time soon, even though he paid good money to get it earlier.

I have reread the Face The Task website, but can find no inconsistancies there - in fact I read it that you wouldn’t get your N96 straight away, only a little time before it was released in your country, a comment I took to mean possibly only a few days before. This was the main reason I wouldn’t participate in the purchase through Face the Task, even if money was going to WWF; why pay for something when Nokia wasn’t even giving a release date?

Sure I entered the free competition, but that is another matter.

What do you think? Were those who have paid to get the N96 taken in by Nokia and is Face the Task misleading, and how much will Nokia and WWF suffer for bad press because of this?
