Mmm...
No memory card support but a built-in Mp3 player?
Not even a 2Mpix camera?
But does 'overpriced' means something during this days?
An Ericsson phone looked more classy years ago, without being that expensive, and technically it was the state of the art...
Sorry for having disturbed your discussion but I'm honestly finding it hard to find out a good reason to buy it, apart from the price itself, that will clearly show to everybody that I'm enough reach to waste my money!
Bye.

well... the only thing it has is design, and it should be that way as long as it is a luxurious phone... but why the design I so unfinished, unbeautiful and almost ugly?

@JiggyJaggy, yeah I remember the V3, for example, which I paid £370 for a month after it came out because I really really wanted it and within a couple of months it was under £300 and a couple more around £200.
I'm in no rush with this one and I know I will have one of these one day, but I know I don't want to pay £500+

i too hope it drops in price soon, as i really want one too.
i remember paying £450 for the v3 when it came out, now i can get one for under £200.
im in no rush though,im getting either a w800 or k750 at the end of the month so thatll keep me going.

V3 and its price drop was a planned action, on the other hand Nokia promised not to drop the price for 8800 as long as it is possible... by the way - 8910i costs more than black razr.... I can say - it sucks....

I dont think the 8800 price will drop anywhere near as fast as the V3 in price, its no where near as commercial.
Its not out on Tmobile and Orange for a start so thats 40% of the population "out" (roughly speaking).
Secondly it is still highly priced. You wont find many "new contract" phones which arent free these days.
The built quality on the other hand is outstanding. I dropped mine from my suit pocket, landed straight up as if it were standing on the conrete pavment, bounced! When I picked it up there was NOT ONE SCRATCH on it. Thats what I call build quality!
Was almost going to send a letter to Westminster Council to see if their pavment was ok! lol
