Amazon's price guarantee I think for pre-orders is only valid before the device is shipped.
Not to mention these are pre-order sales, typically the price will go back up after its release date to what MSRP is. At least that is the case for popular videogames.
I hope if devices start shipping tomorrow, that Newegg does the same. It would suck to have to wait till the middle of Nov to get my device if other people start getting their's tomorrow.

Was it a pre-order sale? Like I said, alot of companies now do pre-order bonuses to entice people to buy it from them earlier on rather then waiting. And then once it's near release they'll return the price back to MSRP (in this case the n900's MSRP is $650). Now if you pre-order the device at $559 or $569 and then they changed it to $649 then yeah that's more of a scam if it's not one of those "prices subject to change".
I just had Amazon reinstate my N900 order. If you cancel your order but call back or email them before they close that day and ask for a supervisor, they can reinstate your order...I really would like to stick with Newegg, but I want my device like yesterday...

NewEgg generally doesn't yank prices up and down (when it comes to pre-order sales). Regular items are different since they tend to react to how the market reacts. I can wait for my device as long as the price doesn't go up so I'll probably just stick with Newegg.
I don't think there's going be a wide disparity in shipping dates (especially for decently sized retailers like Amazon, Buy.com, and Newegg). The n900 itself is probably going be released by retailers sometime the first or second week of November.

As far as the date, I know about that , I wasn't asking when it's going to be released, I was simply responding to the few people who were saying when they called the companies they ordered from they were told the first batch would be tomorrow..err today actually. I love Newegg and especially the price, but dislike the restocking fee and no price guarantee. Guess we'll find out later today if the phones are indeed shipping out.

Ladies, gentlemen,
as much as I love the discussion, are you sure you want to continue these threads endlessly? The day we start shipping you will see a Nokia press release announcing just that. The first Nokia N900 will not magically appear in some shop suddenly, somewhere, sometime, but we will let you know when we start shipping from the factory.
And yes, we've gotten some decent feedback from the community after the Maemo Summit from those 300 devices we gave out with some things we haven't detected in our usual-for-all-devices testing around the world. Some of this feedback, we want to take into account in both the first sales software release i.e. PR1.0 and some in software updates we provide later this year.

Personally, I will have no further interest in this thread after I post the happy news that my device has arrived. For me, I do not usually get news until after almost everyone already knows about it. I am not likely to catch the press release until at the earliest the next day (unless it is posted in a forum somewhere that I look at like this one). I post for the benefit of others like me and at the moment the most reliable information I can receive is from the company that I preordered from and wish to share it since all nokia gives people is vague time frames. I am just trying to help those who are getting answers like mid November, or the best one the link/or/copy and past from nokia's online store which is as informative as a stop sign to a blind person.

The reason they never cancelled the first order must be because of this email i recieved straight after posting
