You misundereadwronglyed that.
Not N9 vs GSII, but newegg vs othereggs.
Once webshop 1 and webshop 2 starts actually start selling the N9's they've had for preordering, and webshop 3 and webshop 4 start selling them too, the price of the N9 will drop on both webshop 1 and webshop 2. It's often a two step process with preorders:
1: Put out a guesstimate price, allow preorders with a price reservation.
2: Revisit the price once you know your in price.
Once it's out of preorder phase, there's a 3rd and 4rd step:
3: Compare your price to your competition
4: gosub 3;
Webshops compare prices. Once they know their margins and their competitors prices, they know how much they can and/or need to cut.

Buy/Pre-Order?
Do we seriously believe that this device will ever see day light? It's 75 days or so since I first tweeted my excitement about the N9. 74 days ago I was disappointed. 73 days ago I regained hope. 72 days ago I was excited again....so forth so forth and 1 day ago I was disappointed. Today however is no different.
Painful self inflicting curse we all have for these sort of devices. Let's try to get Pre 3's or something else to ease the pain.

i have just observed that prices always drop within the first week or two. street price tend to be different from preorder price.

The PRE3 as a stand alone device is great but if one was to get a 2 year/18month contract then why not go for a more popular and widely known Android device? failed logic.
Though the touch to share between webOS devices is a sweet function that i wouldnt mind having.

Don't see the point in preordering phones. I buy it when its available, until then nokia may even have clarified its strategy regarding Meego and Qt. That's what I hope, not very keen to buy another DOA product like the N900. The N9 will be my only handset in use, so it better delivers.
