Seems that the $199 (A1 16 Gb, black) deal at lenovo and at amazon is gone.
It is offered at amazon (marketplace, 3rd part seller) for $229, and for $249 again at lenovo. $229 for the 2Gb version.
However, as I payed $249 for the 16Gb black at lenovo, I asked a refund of the difference, when it was selling for $199 and I see the 50 bucks have already been credited to my credit card.
So, for those who complain about lenovo costumer care, this is good news.
