Nokia N900 Now $480 on Amazon, Shipping Not Yet Confirmed

Just a few days ago, US customers have found out that the new Nokia N900 has finally arrived and should cost a hefty $649. Well, it looks like Amazon wants a piece of the pie, too, and demolished the steep cost barrier by listing the Maemo-powered N900 at $480
after a $50 mail-in rebate.

The unlocked Nokia N900 is an ARM Cortex-A8 handset that brings a 3.5-inch touchscreen display (800 x 480 pixels), an excellent browser, 32GB of flash and a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss autofocus camera with dual LED flash. There’s also a slide-out full QWERTY keypad, Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/1700/2100 support, Graphics acceleration with OpenGL ES 2.0 compatibility, movie and audio playback with support for MP4, AVI, WMV, 3GP, MP3, WMA, AAC, M4A and WAV files.

Looks like the new Nokia N900 is (finally) the company’s first handset to stand a chance against the much craved for mobile of the last few months — the iPhone 3GS, Motorola Droid, HTC HD2, BlackBerry Storm 2 and Bold 9700, Samsung Omnia II or the XPERIA X10, hence why the $480 price tag
for an unlocked smartphone doesn’t seem unaccessible anymore.

You game for one?
