The problem is in USA where there is no operator for N900, and actually only T-Mobile can carry it, but it didn't seem to want it.

With no operator in USA, no way of it having mass appeal. $600 is still not a cheap price. Now, iPhone 3G is only $99 on AT&T, that's a difference...

But for the unlocked segment N900 rocks!
So, how is it in the UK like getting one on contract for 30 and then canceling the contract by paying some damages? Is that viable? In the US, it is.

If that is possible and the total (everything including the taxes) comes out to be cheaper than the amazon offered price, I would consider trying that route I have already pre-ordered mine at amazon.com but still $600 is a huge money. Difficult to get over this fact!

Also, did anyone try that microsoft promoted bing cashback thing? Will that work for pre-orders too?
