Prices for Nokia’s N900 mega-smartphone are dropping fast, and the phone hasn’t even been released! You can choose to preorder the N900 at NokiaUSA for the retail price of $649.00 (+ tax but you get a free Bluetooth headset), you can preorder the phone at Amazon for $582.99, OR you can now get it from Buy.com for $542.58. Yep, $542.58.
Let’s see how the math works out.
Buy.com Price: $559.99
4% Bing Cashback: -$22.40
2-Day Shipping: +$5.49 (you can opt for regular shipping for 4.99)
—
= $542.59 with 2-day shipping.
How to Get the Deal
You’ll need to go through Bing.com first: Direct Link or go through Bing Cashback (click on the B link to show all stores that start with B, then scroll down to the bottom)
After you either create a Bing cashback account or login with your current account, it’ll take you to the Buy.com home page. Just search for “nokia n900″ and it should be the first result.
Like other retailers, Buy.com hasn’t provided a release date. Note that if you preordered through Amazon you can still easily cancel it.
This may or may not be worth it for you. Amazon’s customer service and return policy is legendary, while Buy.com’s cs department isn’t quite as highly regarded (reseller rating of 4.17/10 compared to Amazon’s 6.51). I already preordered it at Amazon, so I have to admit it’s tempting.
