Well, that price keeps edging lower and lower on a device that hasn't even been released yet. Does this mean that it might still go lower later? The closer it gets to that sweet-spot of $400, the more likely I, and others from the recent polls, would more likely be willing to consider purchasing one, since the high cost and cellular radio were the major niggling points for me--and they seemed to be closely related. I doubt it'll reach $400 anytime soon, but dropping nearer and nearer does tempt otherwise disinterested consumers.

I just ordered it on Amazon. Also, does anyone know if Amazon charges instantly or does it charge when they ship it out to you?

amazon did this with the n97 too. my friend pre-ordered it from there for about $100 cheaper. only downside was i think in the n97's case it was shipped something like a week later than from the nokia store. could've been random but only time will tell. i still pick amazon over nokia though (prime ftw).

I pre ordered but since I am in a taxable shipping state it came to the same price as a untaxed device... Hmmmm it's better than paying 730 nearly though...

In other words, if you pre-order today at the price of about $590 and Amazon decides to drop the price further to, say, $530* for just one day, then $530 is the price you pay when the item ships out. It's a rather nice option. Sure beats having to cancel and reorder an item should you find out about a price drop.
*And in case there's any confusion, I'm not claiming any insider knowledge or predictions for price drops on the device. I was just making numbers strictly to demonstrate my point.

I have been an N900 un-booster for quite awhile, but this tempts me.
Is it really impossible for me to use any features of this phone with Sprint?
Yes, I re-read GA's definitive "This is a dead end" on this subject.
But I wish... I still have a year to go on my contract with Sprint; I guess I'll wait.
