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: 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.
