If indeed this is marketed as a T-Mo subsidized 3G smartphone, then the best analog for pricing I think are comparable 3rd party T-Mo subsidized 3G smartphones rather than the earlier NITs. The HTC Touch Pro 2 started out at $399, and is now $149 at amazon.com after a short period of time.

My guess is the unlocked N900 will be relatively expensive like the N97 was, but that the purchase price of the T-Mo subsidized version will be much less.
