@(Unverified) I was one of those 4000, and I preordered without blinking an eye at the price. If you have to think twice about the price, you're probably better off spending that money on something else.
Btw, your argument about the price for new hardware isn't a new one. Practically every new hardware comes with a high price. PS3, 360, NDS, PSP, PS2, Xbox, and on and on... they all had prices many scoffed at at launch, and those devices were sold in the millions.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

This isn't your typical "new piece of hardware" launch. The preorders were their capital.

@(Unverified) Uhh, I was talking about the number of people who pre-ordered, not the cost. Read, comprehend, reply.

My mistake. My apologies. :)
