If I remember correctly - that’s how market works.
You got price, if it satisfies you - you buy, otherwise you wait for price change, or buy different product.
Seller’s goal is to make money. Nobody wants to lose money.
When there’s a big demand and an opportunity to make more money, seller ups the price.
If the price is too high, demand decreases, and seller lowers the price.

I want this project to succeed and I’m willing to take some risk(low one, since I’ve seen the prototype) with preorder and current deal. If you’re willing to go on the safe side, you are probably going to get different deal(may be better or worse).
so...... if you placed the pre-order, pay for it and you'll get it for the price you are talking about. Why do you care how much others will pay for it? I didn't pre-order it. Just like I don't pre-order anything. But don't worry about me, I'll be fine. If I like the product and the price of the product on the shelf than I'll buy.

oh, so they've meant the shipping price increase, not the phone itself??? doubt
I didn't mention the shipping cost because it varies depending on country, delivery times and so on. I don't think that delivery cost would exceed $100 in the worst possible case. all I care is the phone price itself.
Shipping was only an example, but even then it’s not only the shipping to final customer, it’s also parts shipping to the assembly line, it may even extend to shipping between assembly lines(PCBs and Case for example)

I see no reason to keep retail price untold, apart of not yet knowing/calculated it by now. it would be polite to tell retail price to reduce negative feedback. but as far as Chen keeps silent here, I guess he's satisfied with feedback.
obviously, preorder customers can't be offended with way too small discount so I guess retail price will be at least $100 more expensive than currently known.
you are guessing too much on a single mail that only you received.
I miss Dave too even though read his posts only for a short time.
I have here in Finland promoted Pro1 phone to linux guys and talked about it on some phone shops. No one had heard of the phone before I told them about it.
