Amazon has now upped the price on the n900 to $609 from $559, which, as you might note is the exact amount offset by the $50 rebate. Amazon has already stated that those who had pre-ordered the N900 prior to the rebate announcement wouldn't qualify for it as the purchase data on the invoice is the date you placed the order, not the day they charge your card/ship it. Newegg is starting to look better by the day. Either that or just canceling outright and waiting for the dust to settle to decide whether I still want one. Nokia has really screwed the pooch on the N900 release and I am getting tired of all the drama.

I also see $529, but I'm waiting for next year, anyways I think Amazon is better than others since they accept the unlocked phones for return if not satisfied.

I gotta back up those people who are upset with Nokia because of the piss poor communication and feelings of betrayal. From a marketing stand point the product fails, because how nokia delivers the product to the customer is actually PART of the product in itself.
