In my country launched price of C905 is USD640 which is considered unacceptable.
Samsung innov8 costs 890USD, just sold 2 in one week at a premium shop nearby. I bought k850 at launched price of 400USD which is also considered overpriced and i also bought c902 at launched price of 400USD. I remember some guys with their big fat chinese phones were laughing at me looking at my tiny screen of C902, i hope they were wondering for what i paid 400USD. Well i dont care but seeing these days price competition i dont know why SE overpriced this phone too much and i wonder how much they gonna sell, not much i think. I think il hav to wait one full year to get it at a decent price.

Umm.. $640 is quite reasonable for the features and technology offered, especially since it's just one of four 8MP camera phones on the market right now. Nowadays, $400 is considered "mid-range" by most companies and you can't really expect to get a top of the line feature phone that's just been launched.
You can always buy the latest phones at half their original price (or even less) a couple of quarters down the line. Nobody's forcing you to keep up with tech.

I'll be sure to remember this thread when the c905 becomes available in my country, 'cos I know for certain it won't be less or any where near $640...

640 USD in INR is almost 30K which is a bit overpriced...C902 is not overpriced at all imo

640USD is 32000 rupees and i remember i got k850 at 20000 at launched and c902 at 20200 at launched. So why 32000 for c905

Not sure if one should only blame SE for the prices or their distributors and retailers as well (I'm sure they add to the price). At least in Sweden you can find C905 for around $590 and Innova for around $790 in stores.
