So are you saying you rather not welcome the new price point barrier which everyone will want to beat (and keep paying for a $400 device) ?
I would much welcome this - as much as I love my N810 and paid $400 for it, I would still love to see the same device (or type of device) for much lesser, and if the new iPhone2 price-point is the reason for it, I welcome it.
Lets not get defensive over a good thing that the iPhone2 may bring to the market - lower and competitively priced devices.

I just don't understand how the USA puts up with its network operators, they treat their customers like dirt. You wouldn't get away with that in other countries.
No wonder Americans are so keen on alternative wireless standards...

And on a comparative note - while I do agree with you on the broad aspect of feature parity, but from a common consumers point, contract prices for data remaining the same, isn't one device with browsing capability and with Wifi and 3G built in not match up to the double priced device without 3G connectivity just because of openness and such factors ? I mean, is the iPhone so much lacking in features that the N810 has, that it justifies the $200 price premium as you are justifying ?
