Seemingly they have the .mobi domain name release listed in reverse order (maybe to show general public pre-registration first), which is probably something emphasized by the marketing department. As for the cost of of the .mobi domain names, I had originally heard $40 USD for general registration. EuroDNS must be running a promotion, or the original general registrataion price that I heard was incorrect, because 24€ is approximately $30.64 at the time of writing this comment. Close, but no cigar. As for finding you, I was searching <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.technorati.com">Technorati</a> for .mobi, and your site came indexed right about the bottom of the page. When I had found your article it was approximately still two hours old, and subsequently I left the window open - who knew I would have to reference the data further? Anyways, I'm glad to clarify. Let me know if you have any other questions and keep checking back.:) The information at EuroDNS is a bit misleading, and I can understand where you got confused.

Since I didn't find your email in the eight seconds I took to look I decided I'd just post here. ;o) I mostly agree with this post, the sunrise period is brilliant and I support it. I used this page ( http://www.eurodns.com/info/mobi/sunrise.php ) to get the sunrise info. It has conflicting information on it so I was confused. They are currently only showing a &#8364;24 charge for .mobi domains so I thought the dates were wrong on that page. Knowing the correct dates now I understand why those domains haven't been snapped up. Explains a lot. Anyway, I was more curious about how you found that post on my LJ so quickly because I [lightly] try to keep my LJ unsearchable for now. It just struck me as amusing that not only would someone find my LJ but care enough about a half-assed conjecture to reply to it.
