I see a number of folks from the US making decisions based on an assumed price of ~700 USD, obtained by converting 500 EUR at current exchange rates. While that may approximate the cost to buy a UK model through some online shop (if they are released before the US model), it's almost certainly not a good estimate of the US release price. These typically go for the same number price, more or less, in the US and EU markets; that is, if it's 500 EUR in Europe, it'll be 500 USD in the US. I'll be quite surprised if the N900 is more than $550.
