Price of the HTC Universal

[musawi]

Is there any definite price on this pda/phone? Any ideas?

I for one, want it to be under the $700 range. What do you guys think?

[saldous]

You might be lucky. I would like it to be £99 but no chance of that!

[musawi]

Haha, what I am trying to say is what is the maximum you would like to pay for this device? (no plan, just the pda/phone)

[xiasma]

O2 have said free to £229.99, so add on say £160 or so for whatever their cheapest tarrif is for a year and you've got your max price.

711 dollars. I can live with that. Where did you get those figures anyway?

It cost the company about $10.00USD or less to manufracture the plastic, metal, and LCD screens in a assembly line. The cost is generated by what people or "willing" to pay for the technology.

Most people will find this as a laptop replacement device. My business I carry a laptop and do powerpoint presentations a lot to prospects in Cafe and restaurants at times. I would easily pay $1,000.00USD for a device that can replace my laptop and my cell phone in one.

HTC will most likely cost $799.99+ 823.249 EUR :idea:
