Oh the torture from all this wait.

the way they are discounting this phone before its release, I can't wait to see the pricing after Christmas! Sub-500 most likely, hopefully sub 450 if we are lucky!

Hmm could you buy the 1 yr extra support from Nokia if you bought it from a 3rd party retailer?

I emailed Amazon to ask if they'll either lower the price so it's the same as buy.come or if they'll price match. I know they probably won't price match, but with the amount of business I've done with them it doesn't hurt to ask.

I purchased the extra three year warranty through Amazon for $49.99, so purchasing the phone through Buy would save me $20 ( yes, you can use the warranty purchased through Amazon because it's a third party entity and not operated by Amazon) which would offset that extra warranty cost.

As much as I like Amazon, $20 is still $20.

What does the Nokia warranty do? Will a third party "Extended Warranty" be just as good, and does Buy.com offer one (I can't see that just by adding the phone to a shopping cart)?

I went ahead and canceled with Amazon and ordered with Buy. I used the promotional coupon, along with a $25 dollar voucher I had from using my Paypal credit card, to bring the grand total to $530 with 2 day shipping.

I take it you couldn't use your voucher with Amazon?

Buy.com does have a warranty, when you're looking at the N900 pagge, underneath the price it says 'SquareTrade 2 Year Warranty $80'...LMAO $80 for two years through the same company that offers the three year, $49.99 through Amazon

Yeah, it was a coupon from points on my Paypal credit card, so it made more sense for me to go with buy.com

Hmm...get the Buy.com credit card and get an additional $30 off. First bill comes, pay it off, cancel the card. No annual fees or anything. $524.49 after $10 coupon+$30 off new account and that includes two day shipping.

$524.99 + $49.99 extra warranty from Amazon. $575.97....awfully tempting.
