So I have a feeling if Dell does cancel the orders its because either they would get little out of selling it (think about it, they could easily cancel all those orders with coupons and still get tons of people to buy the n900 from them at the $519 price since it is lower than Amazon and Newegg pre-tax).

I wonder what the n900's MSRP is =P
I agree... The problem we face is if Newegg is selling it for $559, gross margin cannot be more than 10% ...imho With that in mind, these companies would be buying it wholesale for no less than $500... a $60 loss in Dell's books (plus shipping)... It doesn't look good for us... Here's to hope!! I cancelled my Newegg order, I'd hate to have to "get back in line"...
