Good grief, people. The Nokia USA store ran a huge promotion on the N900. Now they're sold out. How you leap from that to "discontinued" is beyond me.

I am disappointed. Dont know sh*t about linux but choose n900 instead of milestone for the multitasking and the open source stuff and what wonderful apps this could deliver. At least nokia could give to community all the drivers`s sources.

The fact that a third-party vendor still has some stock is hardly proof that the phone is still being manufactured.

I mean... I made jokes about dumping them, earlier in the thread.. but it's becoming less funny now.Wow.. not even a year.

961 in stock. None on order.
But they might also want to deplete the current stock a little further before replenishing. These are the guys that had 17000 units on order in November last year

I understand that I could be misinterpreting something here, but I suspect that if Nokia was planning to continue manufacturing and selling the device, they would have left the purchase page online and saying "temporarily out of stock."

the official line at nokiausa is that it is temporarily out of stock. i think they want N8 to take over and are therefore removing n900

The other fact of the matter is that, given all the inventory shortages, very low prices and Nokia's announcements about an upcoming MeeGo device, etc. it just feels like history is repeating yet again and it looks like the Nokia N810/N810WE all over again.

Also, the point is that NewEgg is seemingly DUMPING their inventory of N900's with this sale, which is, ultimately, my actual point. GOOD DAY, SIR!
Which part of my generalization are you having trouble with exactly? I did not reference you specifically by name, I meant in general terms many posters within this thread are referencing carriers like Verizon and such.
NewEgg are still selling the N900 so it's hardly discontinued, which is, ultimately, my actual point.

if i see the prices about $400 or $280 i could scream loud i payed 600Euro around 800$ and the badest thing is nokia.de sales the N900 still for 469 Euro that are 600$ i guess they suck out the german Market.. but however it seems to be still aviable at the Nokia.de Store.
