It could be true. If you look at the design of the N9, you get the impression that the Nokia N950 was originally intended as the high-priced flagship model, and that the current N9 would have been the cheaper mass-market follow up.
Whatever Nokia says, it isn't a terribly expensive design. The AMOLED is a cheaper pen-tile version, the chip is over a year old (it was also in the Palm Pre2 but it does have more RAM), and the casing is plastic with very few buttons.

If they start the device at over 400 euros, I don't think the device will be a hit. I think Apple will introduce a budget iphone at that pricepoint, and there are numerous Android devices with similar or better specs at that price.

The new software, curved glass, 1GB RAM and NFC may be very cool features, but iPhone/Android have so many more applications.
With Windows Phone devices coming very soon from Nokia, the MeeGo device needs to be cheap at launch, slowly discounting over the following months (like Nokia always does) would be the nail in the MeeGo coffin.

So yes, I'm hoping that it is true and that Nokia gets the pricing for the MeeGo device right.
oh for freak sake. 400 EUR :O I dont tjhink soo...

It compete very well with Iphone4 and maybe also Iphone 5.

And if theyr THAT stupid dumping the price for it like that well. Then They really have to put MrFlop at hospital right away.

Iphone is so damn overhyped because of its "apps". But If they want Iphone go back to Nokia, N9 is needed there is no way Iphone fanboys go for WP. N9 and "SwipeUI" is bigger chance to take some Iphone users back for Nokia. So why dump the price, and make the device look like crap?

999999 apps so what? its not only about apps.

Camera is better. It has NFC. More flash memory etc...

And btw. dont compare danramos from one OS to another.

And WP from nokia will not come to those official N9 countrys erlier than end of Q1 2012. This means N9 will be needed.
