Was some proper amazon offering.  Also together with the N900 i placed
an order for display-protection-foil which ofcourse by the day later
when it was complained that the N900 couldnt be charged without
creditcard was already on its way and that foil-order couldnt be
dropped.  The foil was apparently some partner-offering and not
directly from amazon.

"We are america-based company.. creditcard-charging is daily business
there.. they also want this in europe."
"creditcard instead of bank-account-charging because of some dangers,
so usually we only do this for over 300euro amounts."
On why this wasnt automatically checked in the first place online as
part of orderingprocess i didnt get an answer.
