I've heard a few hints that the next tablet might be presented somewhen in October - I can't vouch for any of this rumors of course, but maybe that's one of the reason?

Seeing the low price for the 770, I guess Nokia over-produced them and had problems with getting rid of them. Maybe the don't want the N800 to end up like that too and cut production already? And as the tablets have always been available shortly after their official presentation...I know, it's unrealistic, but still...

Sounds to me like those stores are just dropping it to make room for something else.
If it's not selling then they're not going to dedicate shelf space to it.

For what it's worth...

I went to Fry's to find some "stuff" and I want to see a N800 before I ordered it online ( ~ $340) I found a single N800 on the shelf. It was one of the "Fry's Return" and so it was marked down to $219 from the posted amount $240. [ on or about Sept 6, 2007 ]


why, yes -of course- I bought the thing.
So far, it's been good not great. I still have much to learn about this tool.

i bought mine in saturn germany ( they only had 7 over the whole country, now only 6 then). First all the salesmen were saying that they didnt have until I found one guy who said they got one by mistake cos he thought its a phone.
The only penguin of the shop was hidden behind 10th of ipod or whatever. There's probably not a huge customer demand but I found it sad that it was hidden and not on any catalogues..
