Are you kidding me?

I was really excited when i saw that T-Mobile is coming out with the Nokia 8801, a pretty cool slider phone with mp3. But then I saw the price - $550 bucks??!!! Please tell me there's a typo. I looked on Nokia's website, and the camera is only VGA, it did not mention it had any removable memory, and nothing else fancy about it. Just a slider, mp3 player, speaker phone, bluetooth, and a radio. Basically a 6103 with mp3. But $550?????

Are we also going to start hiring loan officers in the stores so that people can finance this phone? Do we have to run another credit check to see if they're approved to buy it? Can customers use the equity against their house to buy it?

Is this a rip off? Or can someone actually justify selling ...

Like that Gnarles Barkely song... I think they craaaaaaaazaaaaaay posssssssssiblyyyyyyyy..

on Nokia site they phone is priced at $700+! Me personally I don't see the vanity that would make it that much... but hey.... maybe you just have to own one to know. Like a pair of $200 dollar Jordans..... if you do spend the money.. you feel like its worth it..

Pricing won't be available until June 12th

I see why it's so expensive, the freaking thing is made of TITANIUM. So if we have nuclear war at least your cell phone will survive.
