Oh, the irony: SEPTEMBER 3 - Ordered from Nokia US online for $725 (phone + headset + tax), told by CSR via chat "You're the first person in the US to buy this..." and phone will arrive by end of September. SEPTEMBER 29 - Nokia shifts date, while Amazon offers discounted price. Canceled Nokia order and re-ordered from Amazon for $625 (phone + tax). NOVEMBER 5 - Canceled Amazon order and re-ordered with Dell at lower price of $488 (phone + tax) NOVEMBER 30 - No word from Dell; phone in stock at Nokia US online. Ordered from Nokia US online for $625 (phone + tax + shipping). TODAY: Nokia reports phone shipped; FEDEX confirms delivery tomorrow by 3pm. Still no word from Dell. So after all the hype, all the re/ordering, and 3 months of hitting F5 on Talk.Maemo.Org all day long, I get the phone direct from Nokia within 48 hours of ordering at the original price (minus the headset I didn't need). I imagine tomorrow it will all feel like it was worth the wait...;-)
