Something's going on with the N810's price... I've found a few places (via shopbot.ca) in Canada with really reasonable (sub-$300) prices on the N810... After tax and shipping, the cheapest is only $330... That suggests that we're going to see the new Nokia sooner rather than later...

This is a really dramatic drop in price... But I hope you're right, lcuk, for the simple reason that I hope Nokia issues their beta SDK at least a month before releasing the hardware...

Yeah, it is reminiscent of N800 prices before the N810 launch. Of course, I didn't take notes, but I think there were some such lowered prices before the announcement was known of publically.
I'm under no illusion that we'll see an actual release very soon, but a public announcement of the next device is possible before too long. One can only hope...

If the prices started dropping before the announcement, they started dropping very shortly before the announcement, as in days before.

UPDATE:
According to my e-mail archives, prices for the N800 started dropping around October 5th, so they started dropping about two weeks before the announcement..
OOOH EXCITING!
