What's wrong with it?

Lower price = More users
More users = More interest in the platform
More interest in the platform = More developers for the platform
More developers for the platform = More good apps for all of us

More good apps for all of us: good thing!

Not too surprising considering the rate in which the technology is evolving.

I dont think even in next 2-3years there will a cell phone that can beat N900 as far as features are concerned.. No Iphone, No Blackberry or No Google can give competition to Nokia.. N900 is the ultimate device..

I'm pretty sure in 2-3 years there will easily be a phone to beat the N900. I think that when the N9 comes out that will be the first device to trump the N900.

Mh, that's the right direction...

I want a second N900 for maemo/meego development and some testing and I wouldn't pay for this more than 100€. Let's hope the fees at eBay are going in the same direction! (with even a higher speed) :D

Depends on how locked down Nokia is planning on making it.

Anyway, there are tons of smartphones (and even phones) that beat the N900 in its phone and typical smartphone app functionality already.

Lol, i am sure by this time if not early, there will be couple of phones that will BEAT N900 in terms of hardware. Even Apple got it right by adding the front facing camera.

Depends on what hardware your looking for. I've yet to find a device that has everything I want. The N900 is the closest so far but misses a bigger screen.

Nokia USA is discounting it's N900 as well. It is $479.00USD

http://store.nokia.com/webapp/wcs/st...0101&langId=-1

I was tempted to buy another one but that is still a lot of dough for a toy. A second one would be a toy.

Re: The Beginning of the end...............
 
Well. why can't the user pay less in the beginning and more after a year when the phone is more complete...time to try somthing new ;)

harp 2010-07-17 03:14

Re: The Beginning of the end...............
 
Because that would be the same as lending people money when they buy a phone.

Dumping? Offloading? It's called a sale, that's about $400 which is only $100 less than in stores here.
Is the rest of this crap you posted even English? Are those real words? I hope it means you're selling yours on Ebay, goodbye then...
