RE: Interesting Info on the Treo
As for why the company increased the price of the phones that aren't sold with a new service contract, Jaquet said it was a move for Handspring's partners."As we move into more retail channels, the price increase gives our retail and carrier partners more flexibility to garner the kinds of margins they need to be competitive in this market."

RE: Interesting Info on the Treo
Expensive
These really are a niche product for guys/gals with cash to blow on the latest gadgets who dont have to worry about price. If the were even $450 and $550 or somehting close to that I might go this way just for fun.
Ed is there any listings for the bluetooth stick showing up anywhere?
RE: Expensive
As for me, I'm going to place an order. I can afford it and I want one.
RE: Expensive
RE: Expensive
I certainly can afford the units, but are they really worth it to me? No not at all.
I certainly can afford a BT MS, but is it really worth it to me? Of cours, because it serves my needs.
The new NRs would serve what I would like to have, unfortunatley at a price point that I am not prepared to move to for that particular product.
Its unfortunate that people like you are allowed to own computers and speak there minds.

Well, another petty tyrant proposing to muzzle free speech. If you don't like free speech, then don't post on this board.
If you're thin skinned like you are, then don't post. If you find people disagreeing with you, then don't post.
You'll live a lot longer if you don't get so heated up. Remember: people are entitled to their opinions yet the first thing in your little mind is muzzling people. You would make a great politician.
RE: Expensive
Shame on you.
RE: Expensive
Wasn't the n760c priced at $499 when it first came out?
I'm going by Canadian prices, and from what I remember, the n760c was $749CDN when I first saw it.
With the NR70 being priced at $500, it seems that it's the same price the n760c premiered at.
WIth the NR70V (is that right?) being priced at $600, seems like a nice price for the built-in camera option.
For the person that said the Canadian price would be $1200, what kind of crack are you on?

You're throwing out some nice numbers, but here's how the numbers really work:
Price of n760c at release (From Memory):
US $499, CDN $799
Price of NR70 (Estimated):
NR70 US$499, CDN $799
NR70v US$599, CDN $950
Why would you be an idiot and start introducing taxes into the cost? Everyone pays taxes. Are you special somehow?
The fact is, the nr70 is no more expensive than the n760c was at release. The nr70v is more expensive because of the camera. I'm sure the MS Camera is more than $100 separately...
If you're gonna start spouting off numbers with taxes to support your initial crack-induced claim, you might as well start spouting off shipping charges, duties, interest charges on your credit card, tip to the delivery guy, etc.
Wow, now it costs $1500 CDN for an NR70. Golly gee, that's real expensive.

RE: Expensive
$600 for Palm handheld... I'd rather buy a PPC instead.
No ''Functional Transparency''
That won't bother super-niche users. It will eventually frustrate conventional users who venture out and buy an NR, maybe to the point of "trading down" to a T-series.
When the NR's superior screen quality gets into a T-series body with an ARM processor, I'm biting.
RE: No
That's because people, in general, are shallow, insolent, self-centered, and irrational. For further evidence, check out ANY thread here on PIC.
RE: No ''Functional Transparency''
The width and depth of the Sony look good, but I agree on the length - it's too long. (there it is again)
RE: No ''Functional Transparency''
Hmph.. Such problems we have!
RE: No ''Functional Transparency''
Frighteningly perceptive.
>>and maybe this one, as cool as it is, is only an intermediate step for sony,
Yep. I'll wait to update my obelesence until the ARMs comes out.
