Coming from the NIT side and not from the high end phone side, $700 seems way too high. I never priced high end phones. I was hoping the phone capabilities of the N900 would mean more people would buy it, the maemo community would grow and we'd all benefit from it. A $700 price tag won't achieve this. When I first heard about the N810 and Maemo, it was on sale for about $350 from Nokia's website. I believe $400 was the normal price on the website. Needless to say, if the price tag is $700, I'll be holding off for a while.
