Nokia lowers, then raises the price on the N810 Internet Tablet
It seems the wonderful $90 price cut that Nokia had offered up on the N810 Internet Tablet was not as permanent as we would have hoped.
The $90 price cut was great to see because that lowered the price from the regular retail of $479 down to $389. Which would be what I would describe as a great deal, but unfortunately the price has since gone back up to $439. Which makes the great $90 price cut a respectable $50 price cut.
So for those lucky enough to make that purchase last night you may have scored an N810 at a fantastic price, especially if you are familiar with any of those “save 15% off” coupon codes that you get from so many podcasts.
Nokia must have made a mistake on the price and made a quick attempt to correct it, had it not been blogged about here, and here, and here, and here along with many other places I would have thought that I just read it wrong in the first place.
All I can really say is bad deal Nokia, you lowered the price (mistake or not) and received a lot of attention over the deal. I like your products but this was a big screw up, I had planned to grab the N810 at that lower price, but was too lazy to grab my wallet last night fully intending to order this morning. Of course if I had placed my order at that lower price would you have honored it?

Very fickle minded, aren’t they? Maybe they did it just to bring the phone in the News!

Don’t know how eager you are to purchase, but it couldn’t hurt to give Nokia a call and tell them you had difficulties placing the order last night. They may be convinced to let you purchase it at yesterday’s price. My thing is, never hurts to ask… If that doesn’t work out, I really hope they drop it back down again soon.
