I'm pretty sure I saw postimgs about others buying at the same time.

That said, it's likely their auto-pricing algorythm going nuts again... you heard about the $23Million book, right?
That algorythm problem is common on Amazon - I had Heinz baked beans in my cart priced at $22, while I was rooting around for my N900 to answer a call, I got an onscreen alert telling me the price has dropped to $9!! Of course I hit BUY and scored a deal. After my phone call, the price was back at $22!

I'm not sure why the N900 price is now so high. I bought mine at $399, then a month later it went down to $349.... now this! Maybe they're including a personal visit from a Nokia engineer to come to your place of work or home to fix your charging port when it eventually comes out...
