imo he ment, and i agree on some way, next to the uiq and wm os in the same device, it wont offer nothing really new ( maybe the design yet )
next to it, se fones are really overpriced at launch, then the price fall rapidly in the following 1 month.

i dont know why people say
phones have high launch prices, which ones, p990, w910? hardly all of them.
just wait 1 week and look at the price drop dramatically.
you can say that about all phones then....... sellers launch high, as they may be the first to sell it, then as more sellers start to stock it, competition grows, there for, lower prices. look at the w890, its already dropped a good $40-$50usd....
(im talking about ebay, online stores etc, not networks, i barely know any one who buys sim free from a network store)

As far as putting altogether i can see its going to be priced around $900.
600$ less than my core 2 duo notebook.
EDIT
@500 se has more aggressive & over priced product.
For ex N82 with all it features costs 100$ less than w960.
And n95 8gb costs just $ 50 over w960
Nokia 6500 slide and 5610 are priced less than w910 and have more features.

yes, a few phones are priced too high.
my point is its not only
who have high launch prices. its just how the market is. example, n95 8gb released over $1000aud online, not long adter, it was about $900aud, now its about $750ish.......

nokia can allowe itself to push down the prices, cos they sell so many and next to it, they pop up ( doesnt matter if smart fone or just a simple s40 ) pretty often, so a fone is at nokia almost outdated when its launched

well maybe thats why
launches at these prices, coz they dont sell as many as nokia. nokia obviously has cheaper production costs compared to
though. maybe you misunderstood me boba. im simply saying, its not only
who over price at launch!

yeah, i got your point, but if a co. cant offer good sales, then they should maybe drop prices a bit or think over the strategy imo
of coure those prices are just guessing ( in the first post ) but se should offer a really good and reasonable price for xperia

i wont expect anything under $1000aud...........
most high end WM phones launch at this figure or higher.
take the imate jasjam. that launched for over 1k here, and stayed like that for quite a while, even on ebay.
but the x1 wont be the same as jasjam, give it a few weeks after release and price will drop a bit.....
