I ordered one from Buy.com also. Should get it in 2 days. Good news that they come preloaded with OS 2008! Unfortunately I just missed that terrific deal, but I still think I got a pretty good price

Hi All,
Even, I had ordered from Buy.com for ~$171 (5% coupon). It had come with OS2007 and I had to manually upgrade it to OS2008. Preloaded would have been better, though :-)
And BTW, I just got it from them yesterday! I too was surprised that they actually sent it!
Btw, on the top of the box, it says, "free coupon to 3 months unlimited skype calls to any phone". I couldn't find any such coupon in the box.
Could anyone of you?
Thanks,
Kasi Viswanath

:::
Those N800 perloaded with OS2008 maybe are
those that get fixed from the user returned unit.

My N800 came with the Skype coupon.
The literature made reference to OS2008, so I don't think its a refurb. For $179, I wouldn't care if it is!

I've read here all about upgrading to OS2008. Imagine my surprise, its already loaded! I guess they're shipping from Nokia that way now.
