Amazon's price guarantee I think for pre-orders is only valid before the device is shipped.
Not to mention these are pre-order sales, typically the price will go back up after its release date to what MSRP is. At least that is the case for popular videogames.

Was it a pre-order sale? Like I said, alot of companies now do pre-order bonuses to entice people to buy it from them earlier on rather then waiting. And then once it's near release they'll return the price back to MSRP (in this case the n900's MSRP is $650). Now if you pre-order the device at $559 or $569 and then they changed it to $649 then yeah that's more of a scam if it's not one of those "prices subject to change".

NewEgg generally doesn't yank prices up and down (when it comes to pre-order sales). Regular items are different since they tend to react to how the market reacts. I can wait for my device as long as the price doesn't go up so I'll probably just stick with Newegg.
I don't think there's going be a wide disparity in shipping dates (especially for decently sized retailers like Amazon, Buy.com, and Newegg). The n900 itself is probably going be released by retailers sometime the first or second week of November.

Ladies, gentlemen,
as much as I love the discussion, are you sure you want to continue these threads endlessly? The day we start shipping you will see a Nokia press release announcing just that. The first Nokia N900 will not magically appear in some shop suddenly, somewhere, sometime, but we will let you know when we start shipping from the factory.
And yes, we've gotten some decent feedback from the community after the Maemo Summit from those 300 devices we gave out with some things we haven't detected in our usual-for-all-devices testing around the world. Some of this feedback, we want to take into account in both the first sales software release i.e. PR1.0 and some in software updates we provide later this year.
