Price is high, being subsidized is a good option (other than being on contract). Does anyone know who would carry this in Canada (and what networks it would work on)?

I can't vote in the poll:
1) The price is probably reasonable in comparison to other high end phones out there. Whether the overall price structure is reasonable is a different argument.
2) I personally wouldn't pay more than $300-$400 for it (unlocked), as I wouldn't intend to use the phone features. If I'd even consider getting it.
3) It'd have to be <$99 subsidized, for me to even consider it, and have a minimum contract of <$25/month for 2 yrs.

Its quite cheap if you consider phone prices in Europe. We are regularly used to buying unlocked mobile phones for $1000+ when they come out.
Instead of a symbian/win mo OS we are getting a desktop computer with fantastic hardware to boot.
Like people said the phone is also heavily subsidized by carriers as its a mobile.
I could be wrong but I heard form an American that a reason why the latest phones don't reach the USA is that consumers are unwilling to pay unsubsidized prices.

$700 makes sense unsubsidized but if it is more than $400 (okay maybe $500) from T-Mobile it won't sell but to those few people who adore the N8x0.
If it's not too bulky, sign me up.

Yeah, the pricing is in line with the market. Unfortunately.
I'd shell out $7-800 for an unlocked N900 set.

$700, it's not possible for me. let me dream that " 2000RMB " is acceptable for me. DAMN!!! exchange rate.

I paid like $400 for my unlocked E71, so $600-700 or so for an unlocked N900 doesn't seem out of line to me. T-Mobile sucks in my area, so I wouldn't buy it through them if I can at all help it.

It has a lower official start price than the N97 had. I think that says everything for me.

Thats another problem, unless they sell them from my carrier that wouldn't help me also I would also have to be able to upgrade my phone which would be almost 2 years for me since I just got a new phone.
