Ah that. Well, it took them a couple of years to finish a 64 bit version, even, much less an ARM port. Ah. Wait. They didn't finish it, it's still in beta ! :)

It is usable, nevertheless.

May I have yours then, please? I prefer my Pop Tarts untoasted anyway.

Enlighten me.

500 euros without taxes (VAT). So you add taxes and some more because everything is always more expensive than announced :)

European VAT (taxes) are not uniform, member countries can decide between 15% and 25% as they fit (with some rare exceptions). 650 would be 30%, so there some extra fee or tax involved probably (for example in Serbia we also have an extra 10% mobile phone 'luxury tax').

Heavy VAT? It's 599 in Germany with 19% VAT +EUR 4,- to get a x99 price ...

I remember the N810 was at 500€ (Ok, 499€) in France when it first was out. That sucked since that was the highest price in all Europe, and that was the reason I bought a QWERTY version on eBay instead.

I even found a proof of that : here


If the N900 is 500€ in France too, I'm buying it from Nokia this time. (and it would totally change the slope on your chart)


PS : but I believe the price will be over 500€, since it's already 599€ in preorder in Germany and we have a higher VAT.

There is no bluetooth DUN or PAN. That's kind of major flaw for a phone. I know that it's not too hard to make community support for this, but it should be there out of box for >500EUR phone.
