I think the price for European countries was 499eur !!!!
so.. why the f*** does it cost 499eur here, when it's $399 in the US?!?
As 1eur=$1.3usd, then it should cost 310eur in Europe !!!
Oh my God - 499 EUR equates to £336, while $400 equates to only £205 so this is over 50% markup for us Brits compared to the US price, nice! I'd have happily paid £250 for the N800 which is still a £50 markup compared to the US price, but an extra £130 is a bit bl**dy steep Nokia!
