I'm checking NokiaUSA's website right now, and it says they're "Temporarily Out of Stock".

Is it possible they might even be waiting for the next batch of N900's now?
.... don't think it affects all? - i've yanked mine from the power quite a few times... still seems fine.

What is there to fix in USB port? Works ok, maybe not most robust connection but with care should last.
Nokia does not change design for N900 to my understanding.

Mine too. No hardware problems like many have described.

EDIT:
Here's a 2nd "BUT"
Nokia is selling the N900 for $580 plus $4-10 shipping.
Amazon and Newegg are selling the N900 for $530 with free shipping.
I bought my N78 1.5 years ago from Amazon, and all my computer parts from Newegg, so I don't have any issue with them. BUT I would much rather buy from Nokia directly and cut out the middleman. If I'm interested in giving more of my money to Nokia, would this be an effective way do it, (disregarding the extra $50 wants to charge.) ?? Or is there some business structure in place that to prevent any difference in margins?
