To be fair to Sony Ericsson $650 US is only £320 which isn't all that expensive for the new flagship model. It costs £387 on Amazon UK which is around $790 US. If you think you're being ripped off, try living in the UK! Anyway, the price will drop substantially in a couple of months, so hold off it you can.

OK - everyone who is saying that it is a good deal is crazy. People - With the exception of a slightly better camera, the K850 is no different that its predecessor... There are no HSDPA offerings in North America right now..
At a price of $650, I rather buy a freakin LapTop!!
I'll jump in when this baby hits $400 - $450... And even that is high considering no wifi.

I totally agree. The lowest price (on ebay) right now is about US $630.00 shipped. Some listings (priced over $630.00) have been there for over 4 days and haven't sold any yet. I'm hoping prices will go down soon enough.

If people wise up and refuse to pay these ridiculous prices, SE and their distributers will have no option but to lower the prices.
The W810 remains a quad band EDGE capable phone with a 2 MEG camera and sells for under $180 US... Why spend almost 3 times that amount for slightly better camera?
A smart target price for the k850i is between $350 and $450 US, not a penny more.
IF SE is smart, they'll flood the market at these prices.
