That shows as $325.99 for me...
Hmm, interesting. It's definitely $299 for me.
That's interesting, you must have been selected for a promo price or something fun. I checked through the AWS API and it's $325.99 there. But then from a free web proxy it showed as $299 and being fulfilled from a third party named MOBILESHARK. Maybe it's geography?
It's a deal at either price point, I bought one off Amazon last month for $329.99 (though while I got the same model, it was from Amazon directly so it qualified for Amazon Prime and I got free 2-day shipping).
Update: figured it out--I see the $299.99 pricepoint from MOBILESHARK when viewing Amazon.com while not signed in. That's curious. But since it has $16.99 shipping, there's not much of a difference (it's free from Amazon).
