This can only happen if the market calls for more handset with keyboards and fairly open hardware. If that happens and these type of devices become popular then ... yes the price could come down or someone will make a cheaper vers. It's kinda of silly to expect first gen product in small batch to be cheap. I understand that there are markets out there that need lower prices, but they have plenty of cheap choices for phones ... just not this one. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything.

So lets worry first about the product simply coming out with little to no manufacturing issues.
