I pre-ordered mine about five minutes ago. The more I thought about it, the more the phone looked like the one I've wanted for about five years: WIFI, mobile broadband, lots of internal storage that I can add to, built-in GPS, decent screen and keyboard, pocket sized. Yay Nokia!

---- EDIT: 9/16/2009 ----

After 40 minutes on the telephone with Nokia USA, I canceled my pre-order because Nokia's billing software is broken. When I placed the order, Nokia placed a pre-authorization hold for the total on my credit card. That's fair. When the hold expired today, Nokia placed another pre-authorization hold for a new amount: the original plus sales tax. The problem is that the original amount already included sales tax. This new hold, which my bank rejected, would deny me the use of some of my credit. Nokia USA told me that they cannot do anything about it. I have to accept this higher pre-authorization hold or cancel my order. So I canceled my order. I might order from Amazon, which has it for much less than Nokia.
