So are you saying every euro price Nokia can be calculated this way? I think most international products are priced regionally....hence, there is no straight "google" conversion method to use. But thanks anyway I just thought that since official pics were out then perhaps a price may be out also.

No I'm not saying anything of the sort and I don't presume to speak for Nokia.
Call me Richard but I'm not trying to be a Dick here... Why would Nokia sell a product below "fair value" in the US? Unless you are suggesting it is over valued in the European market.
Besides, the World Trade Organization would kind of frown on that sort of thing. Don't you think?

BTW, the large font used in the conversion was what was returned by Google. I just cut it from the results page and pasted it in my post.

Okay I really don't known what your saying. But I will assume your trying to tell me you don't know the official price yet. Thanks

If it's a computer and its portable then built-in cellular radio is now a minimum requirement

Seriously though it looks pretty sweet - they will sell a lot of these through and subsidised by the wireless operators - no more stupid dongles.
A lot of people here at the "Maemo Talk" (only recently renamed from Internet Tablet Talk) are not quite convinced yet that they need a 3G radio (which adds to cost and generally requires a separate data plan each) in every portable device. At least not in most markets today.

Most people even considering the Nooklet are likely to have a data-ready mobile in their pocket already. How many different 3G radios along with their restrictive pricing plans are people willing to carry?

The popular use of Nokia's Internet Tablets has been - besides WIFI of course - as a companion device to a mobile phone via tethering.

The N900 bundles the two in one package - at the expense of tablet experience but hopefully providing a better mobile phone experience. Yet possibly at the price of the two...

Maybe, but im not going to use this as a phone. Its a MID with 3G data to me.

Tethering was never my favourite pass time.

Well it happens anyway. For instance I looked into buying the Dell 2209WA monitor.
It costs 375,76 € in Finland. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore on the US site, but it was something like $250 there. I think that it's quite common that the prices change radically in different parts of the world. I won't go into reasons though

I can't see me using it as a phone, either. It looks way too big. (Hope I'm wrong.)

OTOH, for a MID it's too small. Also, its user interface is too restricted and "phone-like".

I'll probably buy it only because I feel I should as a member of this community, but it'll need to fill yet another niche... somewhere between a phone and a MID.

(I'm surprised about people making statements here about the looks of the device. What kind of an attitude is that? Or is this the niche it's meant for: to be put on display in the living room because it looks so sweet?)

You are probably wrong. Here is the size comparison against N97 Mini:

Of course, N97 Mini itself is not the smallest handset on the market, but it is not unbearably large either. It is said to be about 1cm shorter than N97 and you can see that N900 is even shorter than that (but, of course, wider, to accommodate wider screen).

eh that's weird, with n900 having 3.5" screen and 5:3 ratio, I though it won't be as wide as n97 mini 3.5" 16:9 screen.
[¡]nvm n97's screen isn't 3.5"[/i]
