I doubt it'll reach $400 anytime soon, but dropping nearer and nearer does tempt otherwise disinterested consumers.
I would think during x-mas it will be aroud that price. But that's just me

Yea. We should arrange for a bulk order with super special fanboy prices :D

@Nokia: Pretty please with a cherry on top?

I just ordered it on Amazon. Also, does anyone know if Amazon charges instantly or does it charge when they ship it out to you?

They wait and charge when they ship.

amazon did this with the n97 too. my friend pre-ordered it from there for about $100 cheaper. only downside was i think in the n97's case it was shipped something like a week later than from the nokia store. could've been random but only time will tell. i still pick amazon over nokia though (prime ftw).

I pre ordered but since I am in a taxable shipping state it came to the same price as a untaxed device... Hmmmm it's better than paying 730 nearly though...

To further add to what Pushwall said, Amazon also has something known as the "Pre-order Price Guarantee". Basically, between the day you pre-order and the day they ship the item to you, you'll get the lowest price for the item regardless of the price at the time of your pre-order.

In other words, if you pre-order today at the price of about $590 and Amazon decides to drop the price further to, say, $530* for just one day, then $530 is the price you pay when the item ships out. It's a rather nice option. Sure beats having to cancel and reorder an item should you find out about a price drop.

*And in case there's any confusion, I'm not claiming any insider knowledge or predictions for price drops on the device. I was just making numbers strictly to demonstrate my point.

I have been an N900 un-booster for quite awhile, but this tempts me.

Is it really impossible for me to use any features of this phone with Sprint?

Yes, I re-read GA's definitive "This is a dead end" on this subject.

But I wish... I still have a year to go on my contract with Sprint; I guess I'll wait.
