Yes, $899 retail here in Australia

 

even a smartphone less than $500 unsubsidized would be too much for you? im sorry but they dont make these devices to sell to hobos. they have some cheap flip phones you can browse

 

Ouch!!

 

I love it when people tell it how it is.

 

There is a distinct relationship between time and money, as most of you know. The price of this phone will be coming down in time. You can't expect it to be a low price phone when it's the very best Android on the market. The demand alone is very high.

There is a shortage of displays and other key parts which keep the production limited, once the initial surge of orders is fulfilled and some other phones are released, then you will see the price of this phone come down.

The market is too competitive for this phone to be priced high for more than six months or so.

 

yep. expect to pay top dollar if you wish to be an early adopter. it's the same for any new tech
