They don't mention their pre-order price guarantee on the N900's page though. Normally, when it's in effect, they promote it prominently. Furthermore, Amazon's pricing policy page does not mention electronics in the "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" section:

Emphasis added.

In short, I would not count on Amazon's pre-order price guarantee for the N900.

Wow, the N900 looks like a bargain compared to the N810 on Amazon.

I'm sure it would have been difficult for you to look on Amazon for this information. So I'll provide it:

"This item has not yet been released.
You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."

Just pulled the trigger myself. I'm also an Amazon Prime member with Amazon card so I get free 2nd day shipping and 3% kickback.

And Amazon does give you their lowest price up to 30 days after your purchase. I bought a 46" Sammy LCD there and got two refunds over the course of the next month as the price continued to plummet.

Yes, I re-read GA's definitive "This is a dead end" on this subject.

But I wish... I still have a year to go on my contract with Sprint; I guess I'll wait.
Yes it is impossible unless you can bluetooth tether to a Sprint phone for 3G and/or use wifi for your normal communications (in which case, the "Sprint" issue is moot). This device cannot connect directly to the Sprint network as it is GSM-based and the Sprint network is CDMA.

No, CDMA and GSM are two incompatible network technologies I suggest you do a little reading on the subject.
