And then again the only reason for going for the bigger screen resolution is GPS navigation.

Touchscreen is fun and all, but in the same way that I can get by without one on my computer, I can get by without one on my phone.
For what it's worth, while I did get my N900 at the flagship store, I also had an open N900 order through NokiaUSA (my goal was to cancel the online order after I had finished my flagship transaction), but by the time I got home, I had this email in my inbox from NokiaUSA:

Your preorder is being prepared for shipment. Your credit card will be charged when the product(s) will be shipped and you will receive a Shipment confirmation email from us.

Your order details

Order date : 11.11.2009

Contact details :
Card holder : [redacted]
Card :[redacted]
[redacted]

Delivery details :
Recipient : [redacted]
Delivery method : Express 1-3 days

Order summary :
Qty/Description : 1 /Nokia N900 black
Discount :$0.00
Subtotal :$649.00

I can confirm that Nokia authorized my card yesterday in that amount, (this is the first authorization I received on the card since placing the order).

I should also note that I tried to cancel my order by calling them but they said the order was released to shipping so the only thing I can do is return it to them for a refund after I receive it.
