Thanks.
The suggestion to use 4911910000 was just right.

Hello,

I ordered a printed poster from US and now I got a letter from itella/posti about customs clearance.
I'd like to use the 'nettitullaus' service but I was not able to find the right category for posters. I haven't found any 'julisteet' listed in the more obvious groups I checked from.

And here is EU Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 that defines 'marketing standards for olive oil'
i.e. what should be written on the olive oil bottles (with english + finnish text side by side):

In this old thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32614
you can see e.g. the names of Helsinki metro stations 'translated' to English

In the first page of google results with 'sapori d'italia' and 'tampere':

By the way, how did that Mikrolink Oy - Microsoft relationship ever turn out in the end? Or was it Microlink with a c, I can't quite remember.
That's what worries me the most about this 'strategic decision' (oh BTW, shortly before this announcement Nokia did confirm

I have a feeling the really Nokia-esque thing to do would be to move beyond mobile to a new industry like next-generation light and power. That's basically what Kairamo did. I don't see Elop doing anything like that.
I agree. Unfortunately in nowadays Nokia boards are sitting too many North ...

In any case the current unemployment problem will be exacerbated - 'let go' Nokia-ers will certainly create a surplus of techfolks on the labor market.
And apart of likely thousands of Nokians that will be 'let go', there is also a consistent amount of medium and small companies that currently ...

If you are looking for 'high speeds' :D ask specifically to ISPs whether they offer that speed for your area
(not all Espoo is the same).

I would add also Sampo.

As my MC credit card is expiring this month, my bank (Sampo) sent me a new one.
I was a bit surprised that the expiration date for this one one is set to 12/11,
i.e. it lasts (less than) a year. Is that normal?
The debit card from the same bank that I got few months ago is valid for almost three ...

Finnish tetrapylectomy at work! I checked the text in a few other EU-languages and they all just seem to use the generic term 'space'.

It is a shame that the bank's staff does not speak as good English as I would like them to speak. For each and every questions,they put me on hold like they were serving the first customer in their life and disappeared for 20-30 minutes and then came back with the most stupid answer that I could ...
