The only thing wrong with that quote is that you took it out of context. Here's the full paragraph: "The N900 looks promising; unfortunately, Nokia is selling it at a fatal price of $649. That's the price of three iPhone 3GSes, plus tax. If T-Mobile picks it up, they might subsidize it, but even a $250 subsidy brings it down to $400 - more in netbook range than in smartphone range." Which is accurate AFAIK.
