I went nuts for like 10 minutes looking for the ADD TO CART button til I finally refreshed and saw there were none left 
Incidentally, I just checked TigerDirect and their stock is low as well.
Item Number: N529-1086
Availability: Available While Supplies Last
Few Left! Will Sellout!

I got burned too. My order was processed for one that I wanted to use mostly as a media player and I got a phone call explaining that the hoarder bumped me.

Damn, I feel sorry for those that missed out.
I'm so glad I acted fast with little hesatation before someone(s) snagged up the remaining ones. It's a good thing I get off work at 4PM EST. FedEx says mine has been "picked up" and "arrived at FedEx location" in IL. I wonder when it will be delivered?
So ... one for OS 2008, one for OS 2007 and "experimenting" with. Now I'm wondering if two N800s can communicate with each other via Bluetooth or WiFi (for file transfers).

They said shipping was 2-3 days...
BT file transfers are no sweat; OBEX like to a phone. Getting an actual ad-hoc wifi network, or BT PAN, to allow games and such is a little less out-of-box, but should be easy enough...

Thanks Benson.
I currently work for a major wireless Telcom (almost have my B.S. in physics) and assist people nearly everyday with their Bluetooth connections (phone to headsets, cars, other phones), but my N800 is the only device I've ever had with Bluetooth. I plan on getting a better phone soon with Bluetooth and EVDO. Now I'll have an extra reason to get one.

Before it went down, it had a phone number, and said to call for volume pricing if you were ordering more than five. I actually thought about it; I've got enough immediate family members who could make use of them, and I bet I coulda got partially reimbursed if I'd asked, even after the fact.

They did offer an even better deal for buying 5 or more so they were not exactly discouraging mass purchases. I was seriously considering buying a bunch for friends that I know are interested in them knowing that they would be too slow to catch the deal but would want one eventually :]
No big deal. I still have my N810.
Thanks again for the heads-up Reggie!
