Sounds like the typical price/cost of a phone of that nature. While it's a bit premature to say that this will be the final price of everything (especially considering this only refers to Tmobile) it doesn't really surprise me in any way.

[citation][nom]dbowlin17[/nom]so, im guessing it will run on the t-mobile network or what?[/citation]
It's a GSM phone it will run on any modern GSM network I.E. Tmobile, ATT and 90 percent of the rest of the world.

+1. Down the road, this will be about $150-200 max unlocked. Also, realize $500+ is not that uncommon for a high end unlocked phone. The Nokia N97,etc are about $400-500 unlocked.

I really wish it had a slide out keyboard. That's a serious selling point for me.

This is kind of pricey considering google offers developers two different types of unlocked phones for $399 each. Maybe that is just a special deal for developers though.

If it becomes available in Canada for about $599 CAD unlocked, that would be great. I hope it has a high-res screen for browsing though.

I don't think that's correct. Smart phones are pretty advanced pieces of hardware, due to the level of minaturization, and are not cheap to make. I'm guessing actual manufacturing cost is somewhere near the 5-600$ range, as they usually have the computing power a little below a netbook, and are massively minituarized

When selling an unlocked phone the manufacturer isn't getting any subsidies from the provider (ATT/Verzn), the only income is from the sale itself. For google to ever sell this phone at 200$ would mean either

a) They are loosing massive amounts of money on each phone.
b) They are trying to get rid of obsolete inventory
c) Somehow prices miraculously dropped on the hardware due to other developments.

I'm guessing that smartphone manufacturers do actually take a loss on unlocked phones, simply to increase market penetration, but I doubt that they would ever take a hit that large.

b is a likely scenario, but only after the next gen comes out and only for a little while

c is unlikely, because if some major manufacturing improvement occured then, while prices could drop, the smartphone manufacturers would maintain the price point but seriously increase the quality instead, creating a new gen, which goes back to point b.

[citation][nom]sliem[/nom]The hell. I pay $100 A YEAR for my 'pay as you go' cell phone (not smartphone).People are wasting money on this sh!t.[/citation]
I pay $50/year for prepaid. But my phone is 9 years old, and not very "smart."

Considering how much HTC sells HD2 unsubsidized, which is practically the same hardware (both made by HTC), Google is actually selling it cheap.
