Buy.com and nextjump had a deal a couple of days ago where you'd get 10,000 nextjump points for spending at least $200. That is to say you could have gotten $100 in cash back off your N900.

What sup with the price changing on Amazon? I've place two order of the N900 in Amazon one is for 559.99 and the other for 529.99 and also one order on DELL for 556.99 with Taxes. The way I see it which ever companies Amazon or DELL ship it out first to me get my money. XD

Almost all items on Amazon change price frequently. Pick some items and put them in your cart. Then move them to your saved items and leave them there for a year or so. You will probably see a lot of price adjustments. You'll get a notice of any price adjustment every time you go to your cart. I do not know why, but it seems to be some kind of market test or demand-based adjusting. I've been watching a Casio Exilim camera for about a year. I have seen the price fluctuate from around $400 to as low as $219. It has gone up and down several times. Sometimes it hits the low price and bounces right back up within a day or two. It's almost like watching the stock market

BTW, I got my N810 for $199 this way (and that was well before the N900 was even a sure thing). The N810's were selling for almost $400 I think. It bounced down to $179 on Amazon at one point and I nabbed it quickly at $199 before it went back up over $300. (Of course, the N810 price is lower now that the N900 was out, but I bought my N810 at a time when there was no N900.)

It's likely to stir interest in the product, but if you wait on the deal you will miss out on it. Thus making you more likely to buy it the next time the price goes down (even if it's less). It's a clever tactic and sadly worked on me a while for videogames.

Does no one read the Pre-order policy on amazon? You don't have to re-order when the price is adjusted. Pre-orders automatically get the item at the lowest price it was in the period after it was ordered, even if the price goes back up.

In theory, yes. In practice, usually. Everyone who orders this way needs to make sure to check their card statements, since I've done this with other products and have sometimes been charged the higher price. Customer service is happy to make the correction when you contact them, though. Just have to take that extra step.

Could you give me the link to the coupon?



Just replaced my order on Amazon so I'll be eligible for the rebate. Total after rebate comes out to $469.26 Ohhhhhh, YeAH

I know how it works. Only reason I re-ordered was to get the rebate.
