I should have waited. 
Feel like a fool for spending $549 on mine.

That's on top of the $280 and 15% discount

I also don't like rebates but I hope it is a sign of N900 dropping "standard" price to get additional units.

*glares at my missing $50 dollar rebate*

I, like others here have mentioned, doubt they're doing this to do much more than just clear out inventory in preparation of the newest device to replace it soon. Otherwise, maybe Nokia is just sick of the whole thing and going back to Symbian phones.

I just bought one. Traded in an old Siemens phone, got $0.00 for it, but did get the $280 rebate receipt. Actually I ordered a N900 from Dell for $350 a couple of days ago, but got an email today saying that the shipment will be delayed and I can cancel the order if I don't want to wait. Guess what I did
