No, it's rather about being ridicolously overpriced, as per current standards Considering, that you can get a mint condition used one for less than 100$, (or battered externals one for 50$, and replace it's body to get a mint one), the "new" ones for twice/triple as much aren't very interesting.

After all, being "new, just gathered dust" doesn't offer anything special. It would look different for new, with guaranty - it means that if it fails, Nokai give you something you can sell, and buy 2 or 3 used N900's (and remain with cach in pocket, event after). But "just" new? Blah.
