iPhone 3GS 16GB $599
iPhone 3GS 32GB $699

I think $700 is the magic number.

Unfortunatly we (Europeans) have seen it from many companies, the 1:1 conversion when on the market €1 = $1.4

But from Nokia, as an European company, I would expect a more fair quotation toward their, let's say, EU compatriots

See, I cannot get an unlocked iPhone in Germany for less than EUR 900,- (32GB 3GS).

So all this price speculation is moot when you do not know the price it will be going for in the US.

And I'm sure that it will be once again the europeans who have to bend over.

900 euros must be from scalping shops, right??
They officially sell for 699 euro in italy, fully unlocked.
(http://store.apple.com/it/browse/hom.../family/iphone)

I think such factor as what happens when there's a shortage of supply that cannot meet the demand, which increase the price, thus opening up the 'grey market' like in iphone's case should be separated from price comparisons.

Seems accurate. http://geizhals.at/deutschland/?fs=apple+iphone&in=

Its because Apple is forced by lawsuit to also sell iPhone unlocked in Germany.

Yes, it is cheaper in some EU countries than in other.

No, it is because Apple *is not* forced to sell it unlocked in Germany. So the german stores import them from Switzerland, France or Italy (where apple was forced to sell them unlocked) and they also want to make their cut.

So I'm more than happy to only pay EUR 599,- (which still is around EUR 100,- cheaper than the iphone from Italy) for a maemo phone.

Sure, I'd be happier if it were cheaper, but my phone *and* my N800 show signs of being worn out.

Btw, its less of a problem with iPhone because it lacks hardware keyboard.
