Oh dude! I was just pointing out that I thought the grammar left your point a bit too ambiguous for debate. I didn't interpret it in any offensive way. We're all just debating and talking here. I hope my reply didn't come off as offensive and I apologize if it did. Also.. Portuguese? Cool! That's my second language. :)

Ouch, that's pretty bad. Still, considering all the hardware in it, I think the rumored price for the N900 is quite reasonable. I've always paid for phones up front, and frankly I was expecting it to be even more. If you look at the manufacturers' profit margins, it's only Apple that's managing to charge huge premiums like that (big surprise there :rolleyes: ).

Oh it's quite reasonable.. if you wanted a cell phone. Ugh. This point can never be emphasized enough--this device is less and less the Internet Tablet that some of us bought into and it's more smart-phone than tablet.

How much is the 32GB upgrade worth to you?

Yyyyeaaahh... on that.. why? I'd rather use SDHC. I didn't really appreciate the move to even tinier SD-related cards much less the push for even MORE flash in the device to bump up that aforementioned 'reasonable' price even less reasonable for some of us that don't think we'll use 32GB.

Dude, relax... this N900 will be jim dandy a year or so after release. I figure with a harmattan device on deck, the price of these units will be halved soon enough. :cool:

Fair enough. Good point, but I doubt it'll be anywhere near what I'll want to pay for what I actually WANTED (an Internet Tablet, not en effin' cell phone radio in a smartphone).

BTW, there are quite a few devices with an improved N800's feature set about to come to market... just not from Nokia. :)

I've been saying that all along as one of my points about attrition.

It's just going to have to get cheaper. And then there's going to have to be a cheap data plan like the cellphone plans that charge you only for usage, not by the month.
I'm also not sold on the pure finger UI; I like a stylus-oriented UI. And, even more, I like the bigger N8x0 screen. (Though I'll be interested to see how people on this forum -- especially older, presbyopic types, who also browse and read a lot on the device -- like the screen once they own the N900.)
Ultimately, Nokia may have to blame Bundyo for a lost sale :D; were it not for tear, I might have felt the need to upgrade for the greater horsepower.
