At this price we'll soon have a whole crop of new whiners comparing it to the iPhone soon

Re: Nokia n900 for $199 from NokiaUSA

danramos - i've had my n900 since november. to me, it was a great deal when i paid $500 for it. getting another one now for less than $200 is a steal to me. i do not feel abandoned by nokia. what, is my machine going to stop functioning just because it's not going to receive commercially supported meego? no! and getting a bunch more n900s out to users right now only encourages tablet development at nokia. so i'm going to get a second one (if they ever get them back in stock), and i'm advising my friends to do the same. hold the ad hominem, please.

The whole "it doesn't suddenly stop working" thing is exaggerating. My N800 didn't suddenly stop working either, but you'll note the stagnation and lack of updates. You too shall revel it its sudden lack of stopping and instead stagnating in last year's point in time too.

Ad hominem or not, it's worth mentioning that giving them more cash promotes what they do, whether you dislike it or like it either way. Fairly said, that.

What's wrong with rebates? This seems like a nice offer for the new buyers.

The problem is that Nokia is not trustworthy in fulfilling those rebates. I did not receive my N900 rebate or a rebate on my N95 (despite properly filling everything in). After half a dozen phone calls, resubmissions, etc., I have still to receive anything.

I frankly just no longer trust Nokia or its partners to make good on promises.

haha, I didn't. I wasn't going to buy it at all in fact when the specs were known, after following every nugget of leaked info about it on this forum. I bought a second hand one much later for £240.
