Does anyone know how much these beauties will cost?

I'm guessing that they can't cost more than the 7650 cause they're aimed at a younger audience...

Two thoughts on this one, figures are speculative and are my assumptions and have no basis in Nokia's Busines plans...

(1) The 'Phone' Method

Nokia have a habit of not subsidising equipemnt, so expect a unit to be around �350-�400 out of contract, dropping to probably �100 on a contract if you buy from a network.

(2) The 'Nintendo' Method
Of subsidising the hardware to �100, seeling it absolutely everywhere, and charging a bit more on the MMC Games hoping to make up the difference.

Place your bets!

N-Gage details announced...

price: $299
games: $29 and $39
launch 07.october 2003

Suprisingly cheap... I bet you can get it with contract for about $100 or maybe even little under.
