Something that might help some of y'all justify a switch to NokiaUSA is the rebate. The $50 rebate only works if you ordered between Nov. 16 and Dec 31. But you also have to get it in before the 8th of Jan. Unfortunately, my pre-order from amazon was earlier than Nov 16th, so getting the n900 from NokiaUSA and sending in the rebate offsets the taxes I had to pay; i.e. it's the exact same price. I just have to wait 8-10 weeks to get my 50 bucks back.
