Long pre-order path:

Amazon = $627 canceled
Newegg = $559 canceled
Dell =$469

Now I have a 10% coupon from Newegg, and I have a feeling it will be more likely to get the N900 on time (or if ever) from Newegg opposed to Dell.

Dell = Seems a gamble since they removed the N900 from their web purchase page- real quick.

Newegg = Would be $503, so $34 more for a sure thing with six month same as cash (only 30 day terms with Dell).

I'll take the coupon if you don't use it.

The coupon is linked to my email address when logging in.

NOTE: This is a unique promo code linked only to your Newegg.com account.

Just discovered it is only up to $20, so I am staying with Dell and riding the wave of uncertainty.

Here´s a scheme for you.

Sign up with these guys:
https://www.shopperdiscountsandrewar.../Default.rails

You'll get 10% cashback at Newegg from them. Couple that with the $20(10%) coupon you have and their extra $10 off first purchase and you have the N900 for either $476 or $474 (depending on how they calculate) from Newegg.

The first 30 days are free. I used this last month to buy stuff from buy.com and I got the check from them so at least something there is legit. Just register on lets say November 16th or 17th and cancel on december 15th or 16th to reap all the benefits without paying them the monthly $12 to be a member. Muhahahahaha

I´m going to think about doing this until November 30th when the Newegg $20 coupon runs out, but I´m leaning towards it. If Dell screws me up then at least this is a good smelling option.

Got to be a catch.... Perhaps getting inundated with phone, mail and email spam?

Just like Rush said, "You can't get something for nothing!". Man Geddy Lee knows it... but Neil Peart wrote the lyrics of course

Just for your information, I don't think promotion codes work for pre-order. If you hadn't notice, when you add the pre-order item to your cart, there is no promotion code slot.

Also, from my 5 years of shopping experience from newegg, all the promo codes they email you is universal, which means they're all the same on every email they send out. Therefore it's pretty much safe to share with us.

Anyway, I don't see how you're able to obtain a 10% coupon from newegg. The latest promotion email I got from them doesn't seem to have a 10% coupon for use on any item.

One final thing, go with Newegg because they have great customer service and depending on how far you're from their warehouses, you can actually receive the item the next day you order.
