@ Roger A,
true but look at the cost for 3g compare to tmo service. A big jump in pricing.

The reason this would be $150 is because carriers are greedy, and think they can get away with charging more for 2G technology then 3G technology. HELL MOST of ATT 3G phones are cheaper then T-Mobiles 2G – hmmmmm

8 hours? I have the original Touch and within 6 months from getting it I am lucky to get 8 hours of stand-by time out of it.

Yeah, it’s low end but it’s kind of nice to see something akin to the smartphones of 2 years ago making it to the budget market. The lack of 3G and keyboard hold it back from being a great smartphone but for someone on a budget that wants Exchange, GPS, media playback and web (albeit at 2g speeds) it ain’t bad for under ten bucks.

wow. everyone hates everything. nice. but what if some other people felt differently – i’m not saying anyone would actually have the nerve to ‘like’ something that we’ve all agreed to hate – but just what if…

the reason this would be 150$ in america is because americans are just getting acquainted with high end smartphones…

And its released for E6.50, aka $12.00USD, and its not available in the USA, but if it was, I GUARANTEE it will go for $149.99! WHAT A FUCKING RIP OFF
