"Please note that our Pre-Order Price Guarantee applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site."
To be optimistic, the item IS "Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC" as it states on my pre-order. So I am expecting Amazon to stand by their Pre-Order Price Guarantee.
I was early enough in the pre-order line that I had a higher price showing on my invoice when the price dropped. I contacted Amazon at that time who said:

The discounts we offer vary from time to time. I see we currently offer a greater discount on "Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty" than we did at the time you placed order #_.SO I am expecting that to be my price (with rebate form in hand... waiting)
Since this item hasn't shipped yet, I adjusted the price to reflect the current discounted price, $559.99 . This is the price you'll be charged for this item when the order ships.

I just pre-ordered from amazon USA. I thought that if Nokia USA starts shipping this week, well Amazon will ship this Monday max. Am I wrong?

No way! A lot of time people buy products because of discount...ect. And if the price jump, it's the retailer's fault. They're held accountable and can be charged for misleading information.
Just FYI
It is possible that we may all of us who preordered on amazon.com may have to pay $610 instead of the $560 most of us are expecting.

If you read the text of the "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" it specifies that the product must be a "book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item". I believe we should get the lowest price. Hopefully amazon.com does too. I should be hearing back from them regarding this soon. I'll let you all know what they say in the morning if I have the email. Night all!

Is Italy traditionally a big market for Nokia?

"Update: Nokia's official blog says to expect the Maemo 5 device to land in "Europe, the Middle-East, Russia and North America" shortly. However, it won't be compatible with the new 3G SIM cards from 3 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria until a software update hits sometime later this year"

If they would say 'we are working on this right now, hopefully it will be done x, and we can get them out y, for retail by z' if something changes, provide updates. They still want to restrict the flow of data though.
Did anyone else read the article about how the stock price improved since the announcement of USA retail availability yesterday? They want benefits from being open and being closed, and they will find out the flaws of playing middle field like this.
