Are you kidding? You think Nokia is going to release a product like that for a measly $300?
Nokia makes high-end products and it thinks of itself as an elite brand, so I would put my bets at $700 for this bad boy. And it will be much more exclusive than the iPhone (as in many fewer people will have it). The iPhone is still relatively new, but I see at least 4 or 5 everyday when I'm walking around which is a major negative for many people.
i've seen only ONE iphone since it's release down here. and yea i'll admit nokia could make it a high end but the best idea would be to make 4 and 8GB versions and price them at say 400 and 500 or 350/450. cause then they'll take out the iphone
Well at least Nokia will let it trickle down in time. They current make the world's smallest smartphone and it sells for $260 unlocked. So it would basically be a $50 smartphone subsidized. When this comes out it will likely come out on a $700-800 device but it will be followed with all their smartphones using the new dual interface. Soon there will be one that is $50 with a new contract. Sure they cater to the high end, but they are smart enough not to neglect the rest of the market either. That's how they are currently the largest cell phone maker, the largest supplier of digital cameras and recently the largest supplier of MP3 players in the world. (yes they beat Apple at their own game)
Price would be realy intresting with the device? Would they make it cheap product and smoke apple away, make it on the same range as iphone or make it real premium phone with price tag as +700€. And how about the naming premium series phone 8xxx, N series phone or just Aeon =)

yeah - kinda reminds me of when the RAZR came out. you were special if you had one... then 2 months later, everyone had one.
