i think the rise to prominance of windows mobile device especially pda/phones must be credited with the decline in price of the symbian phones like E60and M600 not to mention relatively decent competition within the symbian manufacturers as Nokia starts to put some decent phones on within this range

The HTC JasJar is around UKP620 the M600 is UKP315 or UKP270 (UK shipped) on eBay. Now the difference in features between the JJ and the M600 cannot justify the 50% difference in price. I think Symbian 9.1's real-time capability and the lowering of the licence fees for the OS means Symbian based devices can be manufactured for less. Competition probably led to these basic changes. Anyway, it means the P990 should in theory be much cheaper then the UK Expansys price of UKP665 and even lower then the play.com UKP499 by December. My view is that if the P990 can be sold SIM free around UKP400 then WM5 devices will have great difficulty in competing on features/price. My view on pricing once supply has improved:
M600 - UKP279
W950 - UKP349
P990 - UKP429

yeah, most places were in the mid-500's though some (expansys) were as high as £600 I recall, but you can expect £500 and above for the P990 I guess

for the first week or two maybe but i think it will go down considerably after that,otherwise it will just depend on where you buy the phone

Sorry, just logged in again after a while, is there a definite release date yet?? My P910i has started doing funny things again and I'm getting seriously annoyed. Actually looking at Nokias again!

I asked the Sony people if they've received the sets here in Karachi. The guy said yes they're putting out the new OS through some tests. He couldn't confirm a release date but hinted at anywhere between 15 to 30 days, let's just hope he wasn't just blabbering.
