Yes, how rude of me. We might have bought on the same day for the same price @ the same place.

n800 April 2007 eBay 220.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$240 in early March 2007 at the skokie, IL CompUSA which had a 40% off pretty much everything going out of business sale. I think discounting the at the time new n800 might have been unintentional. They had 4 more in back and I should have bought them as well.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
€262.00 with shipping from www.nokiashop.it in November 2007

Can not wait to get it!! I have had a dell axim x51v and a toshiba E750. i loved the toshiba and i'm sure i will love this thing more.

Mine was around $220 from Tiger Direct in February 2008.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$229 at TigerDirect in Miami ... maybe a year ago? I can't remember.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
It's interesting to see people mention the $200-$300 price range so frequently. I wonder if Nokia realizes exactly how important that low-price tablet is to expanding their userbase.

qwerty12 2008-12-04 16:17

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
£180, around the start of this year/Nov-Dec last year

EIPI 2008-12-04 16:33

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$379 CAD + tax + shipping from tigerdirect.ca in June of 2007.

6 months later they were $199 CAD at dell.ca, which almost made me buy another one.

It will be interesting to see if they offer any non-HSPA Maemo5 devices in the $200-300 price range, with the flagship running in the $500 range most likely.

i8deadbabies 2008-12-04 17:06

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$150 ebay, listed as "n800" "linux" and didnt have "nokia" in the title, i was the only bidder and bought it at the starting price :) other n800's were going for more than that at the same time :)
bought it about 6 months ago. my tablet case is an old sock.

mobiledivide 2008-12-04 17:12

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
I paid $430 after tax at the Nokia flagship for my N800, after eyeing the 770 for a while and that was probably the best gadget money I have ever spent. It introduced me to open source, linux as something other than a server OS and of course all the great people on ITT

Unlikely, as it seems HSPA is assumed by some services. :\

It is important to me... I like the tablets but wouldn't pay more than about $250, maybe $300 in a pinch. I have an Acer "netbook" that I paid $350 for, which is about my upper range for that form factor/functionality. I can't see myself paying that much for a tablet, though.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$229 @ Amazon.com Nov 2007.

There is no way I would have purchased the device for more than $250.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
N800 £150 UKP last december, best christmas present ever - it has never left my side since! I bought a 770 in August 2007 for approx £75 from expansys, and it was the biz. I said that I could not see what improvement I would get from an N800 - boy was I wrong!

I love it to bits. The low price point is very important - Everybody I know with a tablet (3 x N800, 4 x 770) bought them at around the same price.

I myself would happily pay more to keep the device pocketable. Netbook is not a apples to apples comparison.

Didn't say they were... and not really looking to argue about it... just voicing my opinion, that's all.

Yes, this is solidifying my opinion that the n800 was some serious low hanging fruit. I'm guessing that many of you feel similarly that the quick introduction of the n810 created this situation. A situation that probably won't be scene again. The n810 AFAIK has maintained a reasonably tight price grouping for a gadget. So, this thread is helping me come to terms that the next "Nokia Small Linux Thingy" will not be cheap. Fine.

But I agree with The General, if Nokia prices this thing right the size of the user AND developer base could be critical mass huge. Let me put it another way: There was less-than-zero hesitation when it came to purchasing the n800; the price and features made it a no-brainer. Seriously, how many times on this forum have you read, "I bought 3" or "I should have bought 3?" I want to have that same experience with the next device. And I accept that it's going to be more expensive, but if it can have a similar price-to-feature ratio, I might not have to think about it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Re: When you bought your n800, what did you pay?
 
$320 CAD, Nov 2007 (The "Millenium Falcon") all taxes, shipping etc. included
$220 CAD, Sept 13 2008, cash at a coffee shop.

My favorite device ever, even beats the C64 and Amiga...

I wish Nokia could aim for that sub-$400 "sweet spot" with the m5. But I seriously doubt they can keep it "in line" with previous tablet prices...
