In Finland they do not care where you got your calculator. I guess they
want to help only Finnish customers, but at least you can call your HP
again and complain loudly enough. (Telling a Swede that a Finn does
something better should get things moving...:-)

You could try the US address and number that was posted a few months ago.
You could also sell your version A calculator and buy a new version E at
the same cost from Educalc or ElekTek. (That's what I did. I didn't want
to wait until January.)

Good luck.
