I just did a quick price check at PriceGrabber and you can surprisingly now get a Nokia N800 internet Tablet for just $235.60 shipped. The cheapest price on the list (before tax and shipping) is just $224. It is already quite a steal to get the N800 at this price, considering it can be flashed later on with OS 2008. It would be interesting to see how low it goes.

Read the full article.

What I think is a steal is that, less than a year I bought a N800, it is available at half of the price I payed for it without any new release yet.

Nokia should give us some discount coupon or money refund as Apple did with iPhone early adopters...

If I was concerned about money refunds I would have searched for a merchant with a good discount policy and thanked them for their policy. Even if I knew the price would be half two months later I still would've been happy to buy my N800 when I did, the price was competitive compared to everything else I wanted at the time. Looking forward to os2008

On topic: is there still $10 coupons etc to make buy.com the cheapest?

One of the reasons I religiously avoid purchasing newly released products (especially Apple products) the depreciation is ridiculous. However this is one product (along with my iPod) that I haven't regretted paying full up for.

You can tell that a lot of the users here aren't mobile phone fanatics where its quite easy for your phone to be obsolete in 3 months

. N800 is still the best gadget purchase I have ever made short of my first Symbian phone (3650) even though I got it for $400. I've said it before but I'll say it once more $250 is the perfect price point for these devices to have mass market appeal.

Such a low price makes me wonder if it's true that the N810 will cost $475. If so, why to drop N800 price? I think they're making room for a new $350 tablet in the market.

Quite cheap.....258 Eur is the cheapest I can find in Finland.

I'd get one but I've already got a 770 and it's still perfectly fine for me.

EDIT, it broke yesterday, my second WSOD
