The $29.05 instant savings is already gone. It was there on 2/20, but the camera is suddenly back up to $599.99 today. I was planning on buying it tomorrow, but I guess the online savings doesn't correlate to the normal Sunday to Saturday sale schedule.
Now I think I'll wait to see what new DSLR Nikon introduces during the 2007 PMA in 2 weeks before making the jump to this type of camera.
I know nothing about DSLR. Should I buy this or Pentax K10D? Thanks.

and I have to be an AAA member to sign up?
Well, the Best Buy Reward Zones coupons came in the mail on Saturday. You might be able to find them around somewhere if you don't get them yourself. RZ is now free, so be sure to sign up. They send 10-12% coupons for various types of purchases ever month or so.

EDIT: And I see the price is now back up to $599-$20. I personally own a D200 and a D2h...I want a D40 for a REALLY small 3rd DSLR. Any chance that Nikon will release a D40 updated version? One that DOES allow for older lenses...but maintain its small form factor?

The D40 is a somewhat crippled version of the D50. There are a lot of limitations that may not seem important if your just learning. Of course you could always sell it when you reach that point and get something with more features. With the K10D you won't hit that ceiling any time soon.

The D40 is a great SLR for someone new to photography, and comes with a great kit lens. Don't knock it because it's not compatible with non AF-S and AF-I lenses. I'd recommend it for someone in your situation. It's cheap, will (in all likelihood) do all that you want it to, and really makes taking great photos (in real-life situations) easy: great battery life, excellent LCD, color histograms, bright viewfinder, is very compact, etc. Unless you've got a bunch of older non-AF Nikkor lenses lying around, I highly recommend it. Spend the money you save on the Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle or the 18-200 AF-S VR Nikkor. You'll be much better off than having the K10D and a kit lens.
