I guess, you didn't read the paragraph properly. It says unsubsidized price is $599, which is even less than an iphone
which is not even half powerful as this one.

Also the subsidized price of $599 is quite good, considering that ASUS, ACER, and HP netbooks are selling for around $499 to $550 unsubsidized on AT&T premier site.

And i think $299 price is also very good and Engadget didn't have anything to complain about the price this time, unlike all other news bit on Booklet.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/
Maybe if they needed to ensure people were accessing their network from a corporate owned machine with specially installed wiping software or something, so you couldn't use your personal machine for business. Still, buy a fleet of $300 netbooks or laptops and set them up appropriately.

It seems to me two groups of people will buy this: people with too much money to know what to do with it, and people who don't know about tethering. Nokia and AT&T banking on ignorance? *gasp* Perish the thought!]]>Oct 13th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Oct 13th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Oct 13th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Not like this market is short of competition either.]]>Oct 13th 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/
I'd much rather have this than an iPhone. Internet everywhere? This is now my #1 gift idea for my mother in law who can't handle computers. I won't have to worry about whether she's online with this thing, and it's just cool.

Sometimes, cool things cost more just for their size or appearance. See: the entire iPod line, the PSP Go, and almost everything else that's successful in computers.

Not a ripoff... just premium.]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Oct 13th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Oct 13th 2009 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/and unibody aluminium.

Any thoughts or self-criticism on how you view and predict pricing? Nope, guess not. This is again proof of how the Engadget crew has totally failed, especially when they tried to bring a negative view on the Booklet pricing when the Euro-pricing were announced. As if ever the price in the States has been anything near the EU-pricing.]]>Oct 13th 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/Oct 13th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/
I don't think it really affects the industry at all, so no need to get too upset. Engadget makes a lot of critical comments that get details wrong... just enjoy the rage and laugh when it turns out that the device is wildly successful anyway.

I remember when slashdot bashed the original iPod. Hell, basically the whole blogosphere did. A lot of people did the same to blu-ray. Maybe some of them are actually trying to shape the industry, but I think it's mostly just an effort to be interesting and 'cutting edge'.]]>Oct 13th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/nokia-tells-all-on-booklet-3g-299-with-a-2-year-contract-on-at/
$100+ for data, plus whatever phone service you have, thats $2400~+ after your contract is up, data on the go just isn't worth $1000/yr to me.
