Up to about a week or so back the N900 was steady at $499, then it slipped to $479, and checking today it's at $459!

Keep an eye out, it may keep dropping... seems the price is falling at most stores.

thanks for the heads up...

thats another place to watch... i think Amazon charges tax in almost every state, whereas Newegg in only 3... after amazon tax, they are the same price :P

Not looking to disagree, but just had to check for myself since *I* don't get charged tax for orders here in WV...

"Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, or Washington are subject to tax."

So that might be worth checking out

I usually have orders shipped to Ohio and Amazon does not charge sales tax.

when it gets to bout $350 I will strike. though I would love to have linux in my pocket, for a device that has had the rug pulled out from under it only 6 months into its existence, $350 seems like a fair price.

In other countries it has dropped too lately. e.g. in Switzerland : http://en.toppreise.ch/chart_178841.html

Of course, should also point out that there the initial price was ridiculously high..

Another drop - $399.99. Ordered one for myself as not sure if it'll drop much more, at the point of the device being phased out retailers will gradually run out of stock and limited supply may actually drive prices up.

Bought one from DELL, the other day for 369 + taxes. Came to total of 408.

wondering why prices are dropping so fast!. Iphone 4 Impact? Or any major announcements are getting closer? Like the N9 rumor!..

The hardware in the N900 is dated compared to what's coming out nowadays, it's not selling as well as retailers hoped (no surprise). And its successor is coming out later this year.

it was never meant to be a mainstream phone though
