Just when I was about to hit checkout on amazon to place a new preorder, their page changed to "sign up to be notified when this item becomes available." Good thing I haven't cancelled my newegg preorder. Maybe that's a good sign for those who preordered from amazon 
Edit: Nevermind, it's back.

Thanks spinnukur for this tip. I actually spoke with an Amazon representative today as well, but I got a different answer.
What I was told was that it could not be guaranteed that if I canceled my order and placed a new one, there would be no difference in the shipping date. She said it would end up depending on the total number of N900's they receive and the total number of orders placed. Then once shipping starts, it will go in priority of order dates and the methods of shipping selected (ie super savers go last). She couldn't give me an indication on when orders might start being fulfilled, as to the best of her knowledge Amazon had not received any shipments from Nokia yet.
She did, however, simply go into my account and reduce it by $50 so I would not have to re-order...effectively an instant rebate! Overall, she was extremely responsive and helpful.
It's possible my rep just wasn't as informed as spinnukur's (although she did check with several managers to get the information), but in any case I might think twice about re-ordering.

According to her, no matter what all pre-orders of the phone will be fulfilled and it will be the regular orders that will have to wait for it. If you're a pre-order at the beginning, middle or end, we all get our N900's shipping at the same.
Just reordered and with a $14.72 promotion on top of that, I got it for $519.26 - $50 rebate comes out to $469.26

They may not be useful for tracking, but at least it would be "proof" that something (ideally an N900) has left Nokia's hands and is on its way somewhere (ideally my shipping addres). :-)

I spoke with an amazon rep and I got the same answer as regulate23, shipment are based on first come first serve. He said they cannot guarantee that all preorders will be filled during first shipment. I hope spinnukur is right though.

.. Can you tell us the name of the person you spoke with, you reduced the price by 50 instantly ?Also generally speaking, how do you guys call in to Amazon .. Although I have not tried speaking with them, my general impression about customer service people is that they are least helpful, and just tell you what their 'legal' information is ...
Also, what's this $14.72 something Amazon discount I'm hearing about
.. ?
