if you look at it's value trough R&D+materials used cost, then no, but some people are willing to pay for that apstract things they think they are getting in package and it is the same thing with most of "luxury" items ...

Well i like the W890i its on my list to get, but there's no I'd compare the build of it to the Nokia 8800 at least not the original one, the Nokia 6300 has good build (comparable at least to the W890i) and thats available for under £80 in the UK. I know its not comparing like for like and ones an old phone and the W890i has not long been released and its price will keep falling.

Not convinced. When i first held the old 8800 the slide shocked me i was expecting some sort of slow gliding slide when pushed it up when i read about expensive ball bearings inside it but it shot up so fast i thought it was going to come off. To me the feel of that slide action was nothing special and whatever it was made of made no difference to me. I thought it was no more smooth than standard slides. Crap. Sorry.

Although even the Arte seems reasonable compared to some in the Vertu range, was in Harrods the other day and a guy was enquiring about one in a cabinet that was £46,000
You could buy a lot of Nokia 1100's for that

And W890 isnt over priced? Come on i know you're biased towards SE, but dont get carried away. W890 is selling for about 450 US $ and its actually worth about half of that.

If Nokia can charge £1000 for a phone and people will pay it, why change?
We've all been down the SE V's every other manufacturer going, and it's simple...
it's different strokes for different folks.
you want a phone that has 8gb of internal memorym, walkman branded, 3mp cam, go ahead get a W960i, I want a phone that works, won't crash and will be as simple to use as every other Nokia I've ever owned, therefore I buy an 8800.....
/actually uses a BlackBerry but does know the appeal of expensive Nokias, having owned a Vertu in my time, they wipe the floor with SE build quality, and at the end of the day, longevity is what we all want.... but hey! I'm just one person, there's another few billion mobile users in the world...

Indeed that W890 is also over priced now.

In our country I find that "Sosyal" people or what you call rich people, dont even have a 8xxx. I saw they got more on the nSeries and some high end ones. because they want functionality...lol

Jesus. Does anyone expect or think SonyEricsson are going to release a phone this expensive in the near future. It seems to me they dont waste time and money doing so as they probably think they wont sell.
Lol you dont know anything man, you're a SE fanboy. Nokia 8xxx series have been extremely popular.
do you have evidence?
evidence of what? you want me to take a picture of all owners of 8800 and upload it here? when was the last time a company released actual sales figures of their models?
the how do you know that it has been "extremely popular"?
