NokiaUSA : Buy one get one for FREE!
 
Nokia is offerig a Buy one get one for free and N900 has a discount for a total of 494+FREE SHIPPING+FREE PHONE... but you dont know what the free phone is.. well, its still a good deal... if you're lucky you might get another n900 for free...

I googled "nokia $479" and saw N900 & N97 Mini 8GB being mentioned for sale at $479 several times. Unfortunately at that price point, they're on some sort of special offer and wouldn't jibe with the advertisement's wording of "up to $479".

So I'd say there's no chance the free phone is a N900.

Yeah, I agree with ysss. The n900 is worth $549 to them, so I doubt the free phone will be that.

this deal is ******ed. They are dangling phones in front of you to get you to spend 300 bucks. 300 bucks that people may have spent some where else had they not thought they would get a phone even close to 479 bucks for free. you can buy a 300 from where ever but the idea of getting a 500+ dollar phone like n900 for spending 300 is worth buying what ever crap they offer under 300. N WTF is up with not being able to know what phone? they dont verify service provider or anything just just ship you what ever crap didnt sell that week. SCAM

They must as well give out the N900 free of charge 'cause very soon nokia will be making bricks out of it 'cause nobody will be buying it.

@andraeseus: did you buy one from them already?

Just a few keywords from that ad...
- buy one and get one free
- "It's a surprise!"
- valued at "up to $479"

Sure, for people who don't care what phone they buy. In other words, people who shouldn't have an N900 might get one. Winning is losing

yes. not this promotion but my original n900 was bought directly from nokia. The keyword suprise is set in such a way that it implie giving you the ability to "suprise" dad with a phone. not that nokia is going to "suprise " you with one lol.and up to $479 is what you say to some one when you want to get there hopes up that you will be giving them something worth more then 200 bucks. $1.50 also falls under "up to $479.00"

@geneven: you're in top form today, mate.

@andraeseus: I would be surprised if you can get a $500+ phone (never less than $400 even discounted) for FREE by buying a $299 item.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

@Rwun: go for the Nokia, so you can tell us what kind of EOL-ed phone they send you in 14 days :D
