Ignore it, they are probably last on Nokia's list to get the phones or something. I think enough people have proved that the release date is going to be mid Oct. Remember logistics are a *****, especially when a new, HOT product like this comes out.

EX: If a company lets say were to call Nokia and wanted to carry the N900, it's going to be behind whatever companies came before it on when it receives it's products from Nokia, unless it's in a market where Nokia doesn't have any other retailers.

Supply and demand...

FYI, the link is accepting purchases again.
I still have the price as 588$
I hope they charge me the 582$ price, when they ship!

You get the cheapest price that the phone is listed at when it ships to you-- so if you pre-ordered it for $649 originally, you'll get it for $582 ( since thats it's current price ) and in addition to that--the first thirty days after your phone ships out if the price goes down during those thirty days Amazon will refund the difference into your account. It's Amazons price guarantee, plus in addition to that tooo... :P if the price goes up, you don't pay the higher price, because when you pre-ordered your phone you locked in the price from going any higher, but if it goes lower you get the difference. It's one of the main reasons why Amazon gives me a hard on.

I know first hand of the price guarantee, when I purchased my Samsung LED tv from them within the first ten days after the tv arrived, I had one refund for $10.46 then another one for $85.97.

Just a slight correction..

I think you get the cheapest price of the item listed at AFTER you've placed the order. So if the item has been offered at a lower price in the PAST before you've placed the order and the price has been raised since, then you're not eligible for any of the lower prices before your order.

So if the $582 was last week's price and it's been raised to $588 and you've just placed your order today (and the price raises from here til release), you won't get the $582 price.

It would be awesome if Amazon, let us price match stores within the 30 days of purchase!

I meant to say 'cheapest the item was ever listed at when it ships as long as you pre-ordered it and the price goes down'....but yes you're correct...

They don't price match, it's only applied if Amazon lowers the price noone else. It's why sometimes you'll see products on Amazons own website in the retailer list and yet Amazon is more expensive but they still list cheaper alternative retailers. So if Nokia lowers the price on there website from $649 to $550 within the thirty days but Amazon keeps it at $582 you're stuck with that $582 unless Amazon lowers it's price. It's a weird system they have, but it works for the most part and it's what keeps people coming back.
