Re: Crazy prices closer to launch date

In my area that is almost $500 after tax. When the Treo650 launched I paid over $650 for the phone new from Sprint after taxes. I am sure I am not the only one who has done this. Business devices entice business users. Business users have jobs and some of us actually rely on our phones to make us money. I don't know what any of the rest of you guys do, but if something makes me more money or my life easier, I will spend the coin to get it. Nothing crazy about the prices in my opinion.
guess what. I have my own business. I rely on my phone to reply to my clients. I am doing it fine using Touch Pro 2. And my business, as well as 100% of other businesses won't come crashing down if I do not get this particular phone 3 days earlier. I make a decent living off my business, but I am not paying over double of non contract price.
