allnameswereout, I probably should have said, what the most you will pay, I guess you will pay any amount. I should have put in first born child as an option too...

I think the tablet community is very cheap, and it will be the phone guys willing to buy apps and support the OS with financial investment more than the old blood. What would you guys have paid for the N95, E90, N97, Palm Pre, or iPhone? This isn't the N8xx with a middling processor and a sad camera. I bet this device cost nearly $180 to manufacture, and after marketing, carrier profits, OEM profits, etc, how can they make any money from a $300 lick?? Be realistic, fellas. We won't pay for most of the apps, so at least pay for the device. This isn't a Honda, it's a BMW, and no one else's phone is close. Being King comes at a premium, and $600-700 is standard for smartphone flagship kit of this level. Wake up!

I think this community may be a thorn to the device for lack of recognizing value. I hope not.

I'd pay between $10 and $20 U.S. for any one of those in good condition, with all original accessories, and in box. None of them are interesting devices, but it'd be worth $10 to $20 to play with the buttons, blinky lights, and whatnot for a while.

What is the point of buying an unlocked phone atleast in the US since the n900 would not work with any other 3G other than t-mobile. It is better to switch and get it at a lower price rather than buy it unlocked and use it only for edge.

The old blood have been supporting the OS with their time and effort being given freely since 2005. It's because of the old blood that these tablets are more than just a small experiment that died out.

In that case you should have made sure only 1 choice can be made.
