Also remember that there is no plan to build 100,000 units, just like the pandore this is a special custom job and it costs bigger $ then what a vendor like samsung can do when making 1,000,000+ units of a galaxy phone.

Just like some kids once asked me, 'can you make a gameboy?' (this was some time back hehe), and as i said to them yes i probably can but it will cost many times more then a new one....

Now the Neo900 will of course be NO WHERE NEAR a old galaxy phone in terms of performance but it is not so much the performance we are after but a combination of that and the freedom that comes with the Neo, to have a custom and free phone in the form factor we come to love, having a keyboard (something that is REALLY scares these days), having all the stuff like we have in the N900 but with more and more performance.

We all would be thrilled if it could be done for 300Euro but i look at it this way, i got my N900 back in 2010 and i paid 400Euro at that point, it has been my phone all this time and still works just fine today, now the Neo upgrade will be more costly but it i can have a phone for 4+ years that i will enjoy as much as i have done with the N900 then the price is not that high, we properly all have those friends that get a new phone every year or sooner and that's a MUCH higher price then what i see in this upgrade.
