Pre-order the N900 now for $589!

This deal is second only to Nokia’s web site glitch back in June. Amazon currently has the Nokia N900 phone for $588.99 shipped, tax-free unless you live in Washington. The N900 retails for 600 euros. Wow. Update: Price has dropped to $582.99. Hooray?

Nokia N900 for $588.99 at Amazon

Be sure to check out my Nokia N97 vs. N97 Mini vs. N900 Comparison Table post for more info on the specs, as well as how the N900 fares against two other high-end phones.

If you’ve missed the previous N900 posts, let me break down the pros and cons of the device:

Pros

- Runs Linux-based Maemo 5, which is almost certainly a step up from S60 Fifth Edition.
- Has the most impressive feature set of any Nokia phone to date.
- 9 hours of battery life on GSM.

Cons

- 3G available on T-mobile service only. The biggest drawback to this device and why I can’t buy it. I’m on AT&T. (note that you’ll still get EDGE on AT&T, if you can live with that)
- Resistive, but not capacitive screen. Not too big of a deal for me, as the N97 has proved to have a fairly sensitive resistive display.
- It’s big.
