Mmm, glad I had them change mine. Also had them pro-rate the shipping to free 2 day because I saw it on the site a few days ago. Amazon is the bees knees :P

I've requested a refund of $14.46 to your Visa card for the shipping charge on this order. You'll see the refund in the next 2-3 business days.

they are refunding you a shipping amount that you haven't even been billed for yet? that's much better service than they are giving me. i asked to have my price changed to the lower amount and the rep refused..promised me i would get be charged the lowest amount that the phone ever was listed at between the date of my preorder and shipping date...she said she didn't want to manually change my price because it would "mess with the system"
hey I want this phone as bad as you do. But we have to give Newegg the benefit of a doubt here. They said they expect to start shipping on the 30th of this month which is next Monday. I guess we can wait.
I do blame Newegg a little bit though I think Nokia takes the lion's share of the blame. This whole N900 "pre-order" fiasco officially makes "Nokia pre-order" essentially meaningless. What the hell is the point of placing a "pre-order" if the retailers can't start filling the "pre-orders" once it has been "released"?
its got to be awesomely embarassing for amazon that they've been taking pre orders for months and one of their marketplace sellers (probably some guy working out of his basement) has the phones in stock and ready to ship first.
I get the impression that whatever factory is spinning these things out must be either very small, or is moving very slowly or something. Maybe they're only able to make like 200 a day or something like that.

Somehow I doubt they have it. It is quite likely they have the option to order the device there but will ship when it is in stock.
