1290? Fail.

 

[okibrian]

pricing for the device has only just been announced and it amounts to a cool €899 or $1,290.

Oh, F**k that!

 

[alvine]

damn you can build i7 system for that >_>

 

[dark_lord69]

Maybe for $50 but I like the watch on my wrist now... it's more stylish and costs 75% less!

Yeah, and I still think i7 motherboards and CPUs are a total rip.

damn thats still expensive

Um.... pass. If I pay that much for a watch it's going to be for one that's still worth a pretty penny 100 years from now. Like an Omega or something. In 3 years this thing will be worthless.

Well, I guess it will make spotting secret agents pretty easy.

$1290 when you buy it stand alone, $5 when you buy it with a 2yr plan /joke

Really when was the last time anyone paid full price for a phone (in the US)? The Palm Pre costs $800+ stand alone.

Ignorance is bliss, huh?

I'd only be interested in this if it had a 4 function calculator on it and could play a crude version of PacMan or Donkey Kong.

 

[spanspace]

ripoff

 

[Raid3r]

useless

 

[cablechewer]

Far too much for what it is. I might go for $100 if it is just a simple phone.

Wonder what people would pay for an iWatch 😀

 

[cryogenic]

No competition, new market --> inflated prices

But hey, in a couple of years watch phones will be a commodity ...

I'll wait for now, until there's a decent selection on the market and decent prices ...

Yes...that has me scared for what October will bring. Hopefully ATI will put them in their place again make em drop their prices.

 

[farleytron]

Seems pretty cool, being a wrist-phone and all... but it's HALF AN INCH THICK! Gimme a break!

Anyone wearing it would look like an idiot.
