Actually I decided to buy at Amazon instead (more trust worthy website in my opinion) http://www.amazon.com/Archos-43-Inte...182469&sr=8-13
Pricing is the same 250 dollars for 16gb and 200 dollars for 8gb. I will give my thoughts on this device when it comes at archosfans.com, android forums, and maemo.org. I am very excited about this device because it matches most of the specs of the Motorola Droid X, HTC Evo 4g, Milestone XT720, HTC Desire HD at a fraction of the cost. I also plan to use this as my personal media player and camcorder.

I'm glad Archos still makes devices like these, because 600 dollars for a smartphone is too expensive because the devices themselves are only 200 dollars worth of components. So until I can super high end Android experience on an Android phone for 300 dollars with hd video, amoled, and fancy stuff like that it is Archos for me. Also Nokia please make a true Nokia n810 successor, one that isn't a phone.

Well for a while PDAs, Internet Tablets, and MIDs were around 400-600 dollars also but they eventually came down to the price of 200-300 dollars.

Of course it will happen hardware is always getting cheaper. Since were on the on the topic of Archos, when the PMA400 was released it was 800 dollars which is very outrageous, but 6 months later Nokia released the 770 with significantly better specs at 400 dollars.

Nokia better a n820 or n910 or something that isn't a phone because this thing killed the n810 for me.
