you are correct wolke ...my error in the initial figure...last years valuation at todays rates...
Even still...both the euro and the cdn dollar have stayed pretty much in sync 'tween the euro-slide and the looney-slide...from this time last year until now...all that aside...
I like you was expecting something similar ...
mind I anticipated possibly $1100..$1200..$1300 even...
and didn't bat an eye at that...not a problem...

...but $1725? and that's only with tax?...
no I wasn't expecting that.

To put it in perspective...
the priciest perspective there is...
for that revised estimate ...
In my country...
with only tax applied ...
before necessary shipping...
before necessary handling...
before necessary insurances ...(and damn straight I'd want them)
before duty...
before further possible increased estimates...

would get me a troy ounce of gold....

and I'd still have at least $270 dollars in my pocket.

a troy ounce.
of gold.
is cheaper.

and the final price and additional fees isn't finished...it isn't tabulated yet.

Who wants to start a betting pool that the final grand total hits 2 grand cdn?

I will say this...there are precious precious precious few Canadians...maemoan or otherwise ...who will shuck out this sum....for any handheld device...ever..for allll eternity..
Canadians as a people have more sense.

I will say now exactly what anyone else in my country will say when they hear about my device...they'll say..."why didn't you just get 4 iphone 6 pluses? or 5 galaxy s6 edges on two year contracts?"
they'll say "Is that device coated in a troy ounce of gold?"

The only thing comparable in price at $2000 here is the (Edsel that is going to bury ...) Blackberry....the Blackberry Porsche.

I would not be surprised if I was the only one in my country to still want a Neo900 after this readjusted estimate.
I am most certainly not pleased.
I do know I am bordering on being very upset..
I still believe in the project..
I still support it..
but I am bloody-well hanging by a very very short thread
