Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
 

So what's the price with the all taxes in the end?! 659$ or higher?

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
 

The same thing happened to me. Nokia explained that it's not a charge but a pre-authorization hold, reserving enough of my credit to pay for the phone. Those holds expire in 10 days. Nokia's software doesn't know that the amount already includes sales tax, so it adds that to the new pre-authorization hold. I cancelled my order because of that, so I get the full use of my available credit. Amazon has it for much less, too.

Thanks, that makes sense. The charge appears as "pending" on my account. And, the difference between the final charge and list price is a straight percentage, so it must be either doubled tax or a flat hold amount that they put on all the orders.

I just pre-ordered mine from Nokia.com.

Question for you Amazon buyers, if there is a defect who do you all deal with, Amazon.com or Nokia?

Nokia as long as you have your bill.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
 

I don't know about other places, but when I buy a device, I register it with Nokia online. I don't ever deal with anyone but them. If you register the phone right when you get it, you can send it in with a courtesy 10 day warranty without any receipt, but after that, you'll need a receipt. I registered a device months after buying it when my warranty was gone, and still got the courtesy warranty.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
 

Although it is good if you have the receipt but nokia will generally repair any n900 until at least next October because it would not cross the 1 year limit. Of course if it is water damage or physical abuse they will not repair it under warranty.

That's why its good to register your products that you buy, many people overlook this!

+1, remister. Registration makes everything easy. They call you by name and seem to give the VIP treatment.

Re: n900 preorder on Nokia USA
 

I'd HIGHLY suggest registering with Nokia - as a check on the Unit. If it does not register as a US unit (or whatever Your region is) send it back.

I got my 9290 from a "small shop" and it turned out not to be a US unit. Nokia USA only repairs US hardware, you can't (or at least couldn't) send a non-US unit to them for repair.

My last few units (9500, E90) came from Dell and Nokia. No problems with those.
