Well, as I understand it, it's currently off the product line (at least temporarily, perhaps permanently) in Europe, and it is still available on their US website (Just checked, still there at $300).
And in the UK. I said so in the first post. Now the question is: "are they still keeping the line in the US or does this just mean that they have not cleared the complete stock?". Just a week ago, it was still on stock on the German site. Now, it is not just "out of stock", it is just plain gone. On the French Nokia site, they write, plain as day: "hurry up, last pieces".

I agree with the arguments, that is not the problem. I note that Nokia does not keep 2 tablets at a different price point, at least in Europe.

It is a bit peculiar to discuss "why they will have 2 price points" when they don't, isn't it?


Oh, and don't assume the N810 will always sell for the current price. Did the price stay the same for the N800?
For the most part of its life: yes.


As for the tablets being global products, well, technically yes they are. Now: ask some of the posters here about their experiences ordering them across borders. Not as simple as you might think.
Been there, done that myself. Pretty simple.
