The tax was included in the original charge, so I'm not sure where the additional charges are coming from.
Essentially, it looks like I was originally charged $659+estimated tax. That charge was removed from my account and a new charge appeared with the higher amount.

I just pre-ordered mine from Nokia.com.
Question for you Amazon buyers, if there is a defect who do you all deal with, Amazon.com or Nokia?

I don't know about other places, but when I buy a device, I register it with Nokia online. I don't ever deal with anyone but them. If you register the phone right when you get it, you can send it in with a courtesy 10 day warranty without any receipt, but after that, you'll need a receipt. I registered a device months after buying it when my warranty was gone, and still got the courtesy warranty.

Although it is good if you have the receipt but nokia will generally repair any n900 until at least next October because it would not cross the 1 year limit. Of course if it is water damage or physical abuse they will not repair it under warranty.

+1, remister. Registration makes everything easy. They call you by name and seem to give the VIP treatment.

Nokia as long as you have your bill.
I got my 9290 from a "small shop" and it turned out not to be a US unit. Nokia USA only repairs US hardware, you can't (or at least couldn't) send a non-US unit to them for repair.
My last few units (9500, E90) came from Dell and Nokia. No problems with those.
