Now that Nokia's
Maemo-powered N900 is looking mighty nice and official, the company's Germany and Italian arms have no problem going ahead and taking your hard-earned Euros in exchange for a pre-order. Both sites are actually listing it for €599 (US $860), or €99 more than what we heard yesterday. A pretty huge discrepancy, to be sure, but it's not unlike Nokia to have a flagship phone
fluctuate in price. That October release date is a ways off, but if you're absolutely convinced this must be in your pocket by Halloween, you know where to go.

"Both sites are actually listing it for €599 (US $860), or €99 more than what we heard yesterday." -- That 99€ is called TAX! So net 500€ plus 19% tax (Mwst) in Germany is perfectly matching with the official announcement:
"The Nokia N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009 with an estimated retail price of EUR 500 EXCLUDING SALES TAXES and subsidies."
