Nice deal for 588.99 + No taxes. I wonder how many will cancel thier pre-orders?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

hrm...over $100 cheaper after you account for tax.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Thanks Sachin for the update. I just now placed my order. My friend is coming from US to India somewhere in the early of october. I hope, this reaches him on time.

I blindly chose Free shipping. Will wait for few more days before upgrading to one day shipping. One day shipping is only $15 though.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

@sachin: thx a bunch for the update! that just removed all my hesitation about preordering now ;)

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Saw this before when they didn't have pictures yet and it was fresh. I would have never checked back if it hadn't been for your post. Good thing because it is less than before and less than costcentral.com where I was going to order it from. Time to preorder!

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I would assume this doesn't have the free BT headset?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

nope

588 + 0 tax + free shipping

vs

650 + tax + free bluetooth + free shipping

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Well, that price keeps edging lower and lower on a device that hasn't even been released yet. Does this mean that it might still go lower later? The closer it gets to that sweet-spot of $400, the more likely I, and others from the recent polls, would more likely be willing to consider purchasing one, since the high cost and cellular radio were the major niggling points for me--and they seemed to be closely related. I doubt it'll reach $400 anytime soon, but dropping nearer and nearer does tempt otherwise disinterested consumers.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

its just amazon, they almost always do this with new items

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I would think during x-mas it will be aroud that price. But that's just me

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

most likely they are buying bulk and getting it wholesale prices.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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

@Nokia: Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

They wait and charge when they ship.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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).

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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...

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

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.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

They don't mention their pre-order price guarantee on the N900's page though. Normally, when it's in effect, they promote it prominently. Furthermore, Amazon's pricing policy page does not mention electronics in the "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" section:

Emphasis added.

In short, I would not count on Amazon's pre-order price guarantee for the N900.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

i just pre-ordered and got taxed also but i don't care better than 700 or more.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

What's the estimate ship date from Amazon?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Wow, the N900 looks like a bargain compared to the N810 on Amazon. ;)

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I'm sure it would have been difficult for you to look on Amazon for this information. So I'll provide it:

"This item has not yet been released.
You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Just pulled the trigger myself. I'm also an Amazon Prime member with Amazon card so I get free 2nd day shipping and 3% kickback.

And Amazon does give you their lowest price up to 30 days after your purchase. I bought a 46" Sammy LCD there and got two refunds over the course of the next month as the price continued to plummet.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Damnit now I dont know if I should cancel my nokia order and get this instead. Starting to become a decent amount of savings now.

Even with the 3 year fairtrade warr.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Yes it is impossible unless you can bluetooth tether to a Sprint phone for 3G and/or use wifi for your normal communications (in which case, the "Sprint" issue is moot). This device cannot connect directly to the Sprint network as it is GSM-based and the Sprint network is CDMA.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Wow, thats more than I bought it for when it came out. Actually, Amazon had it for 430 when it came out. WFT?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

No, CDMA and GSM are two incompatible network technologies I suggest you do a little reading on the subject.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

"Ships from and sold by Action Packaged, Inc."

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

WTF...i was about to pre order it on amazon, and by the time i got to the check out, they don't have it available. GREAT!!!!

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

Thanks God I didnt cancel my nokia order :)

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

That's not really being shipped by Amazon directly. Its one of the 3rd party selllers Action Packaged, Inc.

The last I saw when Amazon was selling directly, it was much cheaper. Now I guess its discontinued by Amazon themselves.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

They've SOLD OUT ALREADY!

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

It's back! http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-N900-Mob.../dp/B002OB49SW

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I'm busy with other reading, thanks.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I hope Amazon already has the stock and is going to ship it when the Nokia orders go out! How do you edit an order o change o overnight shipping?

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

I think it went down is this deal got put on slickdeals.net. When people there find out about a deal they gobble it up.
It seems the boy genuis report is also saying release by end of the month. If I remember correctly, this is what happened with the N97, reports of delay then it was released almost on schedule.

Re: N900 on Amazon USA!
 

just cancel it and re-do it *shrugs shoulders*
