Price predictions...

When this finally does get released for VZW, what do you think the price will be?

3g: 249.99 (16gb) 299.99 (32gb)
4g: 299.99 (16gb) 349.99 (32gb)

I think it will be over priced from the get-go, it is just a matter of how long after it is release for someone to run a deal for a reasonable price?

I think 3G will start at $200. This phone is likely to launch around the same time as the Bionic. I don't think they are going to have a 3G phone that is priced the same or higher than a new LTE phone with similar specs. It would probably kill sales as the average consumer will opt for the phone with LTE. Your LTE prices are probably close.

Those two prices would look about right. This is of course assuming that VZW does not loose their minds right before the launch.

It would be great to see this gets priced appropriately, based on the market at the time it is released...but I have a feeling it will be (over)priced so as not to directly compete (price-wise) with the iPhone. It is a better phone, spec-wise, so naturally it would cost a bit more. But still...I'd love to see a $199 - $250 price range for an LTE version.
