It's interesting to see people mention the $200-$300 price range so frequently. I wonder if Nokia realizes exactly how important that low-price tablet is to expanding their userbase.

Also, how about a poll?

$229 @ Amazon.com Nov 2007.
There is no way I would have purchased the device for more than $250.

N800 £150 UKP last december, best christmas present ever - it has never left my side since! I bought a 770 in August 2007 for approx £75 from expansys, and it was the biz. I said that I could not see what improvement I would get from an N800 - boy was I wrong!
I love it to bits. The low price point is very important - Everybody I know with a tablet (3 x N800, 4 x 770) bought them at around the same price.

So, this thread is helping me come to terms that the next "Nokia Small Linux Thingy" will not be cheap. Fine.

But I agree with The General, if Nokia prices this thing right the size of the user AND developer base could be critical mass huge. Let me put it another way: There was less-than-zero hesitation when it came to purchasing the n800; the price and features made it a no-brainer. Seriously, how many times on this forum have you read, "I bought 3" or "I should have bought 3?" I want to have that same experience with the next device. And I accept that it's going to be more expensive, but if it can have a similar price-to-feature ratio, I might not have to think about it.
Thanks to everyone for sharing.

$320 CAD, Nov 2007 (The "Millenium Falcon") all taxes, shipping etc. included
$220 CAD, Sept 13 2008, cash at a coffee shop.
My favorite device ever, even beats the C64 and Amiga...
I wish Nokia could aim for that sub-$400 "sweet spot" with the m5. But I seriously doubt they can keep it "in line" with previous tablet prices...
