danramos, I get clouded in my gadget whore persona much too often, and Doggmann, a respected mobile icon from the UK and fellow Symbian Freak, has had to check me enough times already. That's why I'm not a project manager for Nokia, and only a user.

I think smartphone users are used to paying this much for top of the range kit, but the tablet community is up in arms. I wonder if its a mythical number, or did Nokia position it that way, or if the phone hardware actually upped the price that much. I think its more a positioning thing, and we'll see it heavily subsidized to offset sticker price.
