Perhaps one could argue it is a ridiculous price, but the same price level applies to all high-end phones, whether we are talking about Android, Windows, Mac, Symbian etc etc. Sure a laptop costs half the price, but a equivalent UMPC does not.

Despite anyone being able to afford it I believe it would be better to boycott the phone for that price. That price is ridiculous. Its like buying the latest BMW or Mercedes and paying well over the MSRP just because it is a hot item. You can buy a dell laptop for half the price.

I have been waiting a long time for a android phone without a contract. Probably I end up paying $630 since there are no alternatives. $630 hmmmm…for a free operating system i dont know…

You can always point out if your phone gets full you can pull the SD and put in another one. That’s serious one upsmanship on 16GB iPhone users too.

But considering I did a lot of dickering and managed to walk out of TMo with my G1 for $27 after some account credits I can't complain.

What I need to know before I get my hands on this bad boy is the amount of RAM it's packing, the speed of the processor and whether or not it has a digital compass. $630 for the I7500 is pretty alright – in comparison I paid a whopping 885 bucks for the overpriced Xperia X1 last fall.
