No idea, would have to dig around... I'm here because I originally was into buying internet tablets, not phones :-)

Of course. I just think you'll find that the Rover is priced competitive for what it is - a high end smartphone with keyboard and high resolution.

It seems that here the Rover will start costing a good fifth less than the the street price of the Pro2.

Chances are there are other Maemo devices announced this year, hopefully one that fits better to your needs/wants.

Cripes! You're right--I suppose I might have meant the 4-channel POKEY chip music from the Atari 8-bits, then.

Here's a suggestion, to help stop all that crazy speculating: if you have them, just release them. Otherwise, well.. the speculating will just happen. You can also read that the other way around: You want to hold off releasing something... let them speculate.

That $780 is just the 550 euros from the article converted to American currency, so unless Eldar's guess is wrong, you're jumping to conclusions.

Holy smokes, that is a lot of money. I will want one bad, but will probably have to wait for the price to come down about 9 months before I could justify getting one. Over $1000, yikes!
