Instead of posting red maybe the fanboys could post a link to a better deal for this phone, or any unlocked phone with specs anywhere near this phone. Oh yeah, you can't.

Obviously you don't understand the price difference between a 2-year locked phone and an unlocked phone. What's the price on an unlocked Droid?
Moot point - there isn't one - Verizon doesn't use an international standard wireless system. Now, for an iPhone, it would be just south of $400 - $199 for the phone, $175 for the early termination fee, and $25 to get it unlocked. Not that you'd want to...

Does the $699 iSteve play Blu-ray and bake cookies? Last time I heard even the newest iSteve only carries a 3.2 MP camera without flash and a 320x480 screen. (not to mention the older ones can't even take video, no autofocus, have a slower brain, cannot use stereo bluetooth...) And even there is no contract at that price, it's still LOCKED and must use the $30 data plan while others can use $15 data plan or no data plan at all.

you'll calculation is not quite correct.. you need to factor in the activation fee and 1 month usage..so all that combined you are looking at a lot more than $500

32GB iPhone is actually $299. You're still missing half the resolution (800×480 vs 320×480), 5MP camera, real keyboard, Flash support, changeable battery, microSDHC socket, Google Talk, etc.

What I learnt from these years, as a professional mobile developer knowing most phones' specification in and out, you can never convince the iFanboys.
Best phone ever, aehhh, hold on. To be honest, this is not a phone. It's a mobile i-tablet/computer with a phone feature. So much about comparing it to an iPhone, if you want to make it a fair comparison, get out an iBook Thanks for the link. With bing it becomes even sweeter.
LOL you trust that guy? Have you even read that crap? You should read ALL THE COMMENTS left there too. I swear reading that review is like watching Fox News.
Now wheres that 15% off accessories coupon when you need one?

After tax it's almost the same as Newegg at 559 no tax(accept CA) and free shipping. Unless there is a stackable coupon from Dell.I'm sticking with Newegg
Display 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display 480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 ppi
Camera, photos, and video 3 megapixels
not that I'm on planet nokia or planet htc. But just the facts.

It's not that 520 is a bad price (it isn't a bad price, it's good), it's just that you already claiming that maemo 5 is > than OSX MObile, Android, WebOS....yeah Nokia....too little too late....
besides, software base will win the war at the en of the day...
vip007 said: The coupon does not work for me on n900. It seems to work on other phones, eg. n97. Anyone else having the same problem?
I (kind of) correct myself. I called Dell SB phone sales. They could not make the coupon work but the guy did a manual override. So I got my n900 for $430 + tax. No bing, but that's ok.
mjv5864 said: n97 stunk so did the ATT service! just sold mine today and went back to Verizon (page plus).
Yeah N97 wasn't the greatest Nokia phone by any means. It is running the Symbian OS whereas this is running Maemo. BTW the N900 will only work in the T-Mobile 3G network, if one wants to use it on ATT you only get 2G.
