I forgot one detail, this is only supposed to be until the end of March.

(although by all indications, the 888 number is indeed, at Nokia USA)
[sigh] do i have to pick up the phone and call?

Sure, call 'em. Ask them what time they're going to change the web store price while you're at it

Alright I called them and spoke with Adrian. First he gave me the price of $289.99, but then when I gave him my zip code he said that my price has changed to $404.99 because I live in California. I asked him "which regions would qualify for the $289.99 price?" He then put me on hold to find out. He comes back 1 minute later and tells me the price was a "misprint" and should be $404.99. I told him I did not want to buy it and he kindly offered to give me a call back if the price does drop in the future. So there you go. I know I'm a new member, but you'll have to take my word for it. ;-)

I've been reading this thread with utter amazement, and I still don't know what/who to believe. I've seen writers literally fighting/grumbling over a $3-$5 difference in prices between N800s and N810s; others willing to pay significantly more on EBay for a used unit, rather than buying new at Buy.com or Amazon.com.
What I'd like to know is why would one spend even $50 more for a N810 new, rather than save yourself $50, for a wireless keyboard or a couple cases of beer, and get a N800 new?
From all I've read the two machines are largely identical, guts-wise The N800 has two slots, which I view as a plus. I haven't read anywhere where the N810 keyboard is really worth $179 or even $50 more. What am I missing???

I take your word for it. Ask to speak with someone on the Sales Team between 9am and 7pm Eastern M-F.
The website was supposed to reflect the price change this morning. I have been waiting to order mine all day along with a couple other people I work with. I could just call but then I may be accused of playing favourites because they get commission.
