Per GeraldKo's link- $228.99 at Buy.com
TigerDirect.com has them in Stock for $228.46 after shipping.
How long does it take Buy.com to ship?

anyways, it's still to early to get alarmed: if the user response is so negative after cutting n800 PRODUCTION (after 1.5years), they would most probably restart producing it.
otherwise :
1) Diablo (maemo 4.1/5 - yet undetermined) WILL be available for the n800 - the support is still there AT LEAST until july (n810W release date), and even more (Diablo will have lasting support)
2) they may already have a successor in development - we just don't know it yet.

So I hope they do have a successor in the pipeline. Having variant models makes sense to me.

I hope it means 810's will drop next!
I would opt for an 810 for $249 range!

With the N810 Wimax on the way, I expect the N800 to be discontinued.

The n810w is not a replacement for the n800. At all.
If anything, it would suggest that the n800 will be around even longer, since now they have a brand new tablet that they need to support for at least another year or two. Since the 800, 810, and 810w are all virtually identical with the exception of GPS/wimax, there is no reason for them to discontinue the 800. If they had another device in the works with OMAP 3 or something, they would not have released the 810w and waited to make a n900 WiMax Edition instead.

i'm sure nextgen tablet (omap3) is in the works, even if it will not be shipped anytime soon.
however, i'm a little bit surprised, dropping of n800, unless they want to cut price of n810. i found it good to have 2 options, depending on user preferences. and the price of n800 was sweet.
but they may have decided, that (slide-out) keyboard is the future, just like palm (visor) decided for treo years ago (they had multiple versions, but later they kept only one model with keyboard).

Edit: my price doesn't include shipping - misread a previous post...
