Ok I tried to start talking about this in other n900 thread but it kept getting lost I think. I don't know about you guys but it wasn't that easy to justify $450 for my N810 about a year and a half ago. There is no way I could justify over $700 for n900 if I had the money. Lets do a little poll and see what other people think about the price. I'm sure this wont do any good but lets at least see what happens.

It's a phone. The idea is that part of the price will be subsidized by carriers.

Just you
For a high end flagship type unlocked mobile phone $599 to $699 is standard.
Compare prices of unlocked iphones, palm pre's, HTC flagships, N97's for evidence.

If Nokia introduce a cellularless tablet then that would be expected to be more in the line of $399.

I think it's just you.
It's a high-end mobile phone, what do you expect? I actually think it's cheap compared to other much more expensive phones that aren't as capable as the n900.
And 700$ isn't that much money anyway imho.

Thats another problem, unless they sell them from my carrier that wouldn't help me also I would also have to be able to upgrade my phone which would be almost 2 years for me since I just got a new phone.

Is $700 official?

every where I saw a price its suspected to be 500 euro converter I used says thats about $715 I rounded it down I'm sure that they will adjust it some so the number looks nice like $699.99. $715 just looks strange.

I found this link that shows that T-Moble intends to carry the N900 in the U.S. which means we may only pay a couple hundred dollars if we sign up with them.

Just you.

Let's wait and see what the price is when it hits the streets and the carriers.

Either way I'm getting two.

It's usually 1:1 so $500-$600 sounds more reasonable IMO
