I think the picture speaks for itself :-) Sure hope is it! Nothing happens when i try to buy it though, just a 404 error.

599.99 sans contract? That would have been my guess, seems plausible. 149.99 sounds a little low for a hotly anticipated phone like this, but maybe amazon is trying to undercut the competition.
 
Good point from Engadget, will probably be more like $200 from AT&T. These sites usually sell phones a bit cheaper.
 
$150 to $200 is what I expected. This is good. I might buy $599 of contract and save my upgrade for later.
 
So, was the price a mistake? Do these things usually happen? (Amazon pages going up with a totally wrong price?)

Its not that the page went up with a wrong price, its that the page went live before it was supposed to. This isn't the first time a product page has gone live before it was supposed to and I doubt it will be the last.
 
I wonder what the pricing will be like here in Canada, I hope Bell has it price similar.
 
The page is down now. Thats probably bad news

I strongly suspect that the page was correct but that it got listed prematurely. Also today a screen shot of a Cosco inventory system showed the same price. I think we will be seeing an official release date very soon. Looks like AT&T is looking to steal some thunder from the pending VZW iPhone release.

Hopefully we see something official in the next few days.

Yea these leaks are no accident, everything is a calculated move

Yes - I tend to agree. The best way to drum up some pre-release excitement is to "leak" some more information through a 3rd party. I think AT&T/Motorola is ramping up excitement for this phone in the days prior to their official announcement. Who knows...maybe they will officially announce this on February 3rd....you know...that day when you can pre-order the iPhone on VZW.

AT&T isn't stupid and I don't think they have any intention of letting VZW walk away with an iPhone release without any competing phone news. I just hope that the sale date for the Atrix is soon. My Storm is ready to retire.
