Think rather about 700 EUR than 600 USD

As for why - because "sweet" UMPC, at idle with screen on, consumes 1500 mA, while N900 (and most likely, Neo900 too) at same circumstances eats 150 mA. Thats leaving other things, like weight, size, closed chipsets, and active fans for cooling. Not to mention lack of possibility for usage as real main phone. Trust me (tm), been there, seen that, evaluated this

BTW, as per this thread, Neo900 is going to have features unavailable even for UMPCs - for now, it looks like complete heaven for mobile computer with phone functionality.
