It could be the rarity of the device that's pushed the price up, could even be the level of demand has increased significantly or people are just thinking 'Damn!!! This is the phone I should have bought'.

But, does this actually prove what we've been saying all along?

"Dear Nokia.

When you ditched the N900 and Maemo, you dropped the big one."

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but the phone is being sold by a third-party retailer. In other words, Amazon no longer controls the pricing...

There's only been one Maemo phone released... well, only one Maemo tablet with the ability to make GSM based phone calls.

The rest were pure tablets (770, N800, N810, N810 WiMAX Edition)

I had a feeling this would happen. I got mine about three days before the price went from 350 to 430 and now this. Mine says 44/2010 on the box, will be intresting to see what the latest production date is, so if you have one please report. Last time when the N810 started disapearing the price went down, so the uprise is puzzling, maybe just temporary out of stock. If you are on the fence, better get one when the price drops below 400, this the first and last resistive-screen-keyboard-linux-mass produced phone.
man I love this keyboard.

£299.99 cheapest new at AmazonUK. Works out at just over $501 US.

£10 dearer than their cheapest listed N8.
