Estimate of how much Nexus/Droid Prime will cost?

[Gratificulous]

Verizon + exclusivity + "rumored" specs = $299

But who really cares, right? We're all buying it

Like everyone else, has to be $299.

He was saying this isn't droid like lg and htc aren't. English, do you speak it?

I'm very tempted to pay the off contract price for this phone, especially if a lot of the better rumors turn out to be true. I love my Thunderbolt, and I hate the idea of spending $500+ for a new phone, but I can't help it, heh... I wonder how much I could sell my Thunderbolt (and extended battery) for...? Hm.

Unless it has 32 gig of onboard memory $299 just won't fly with the average consumer. Not when the iPhone 4s is priced at $199 at 16 gig. $299 at 32 gig. Just my 2 cents.

I'll be doing this. I came close to selling my bolt and getting the bionic but some people told me to hold out another month and it would be worth it...good thing I listened.

eBay pays upto $200 for Tbolt.

I have just kind of a general question about the cost of phones. Why is it that phones with 2x the memory are an extra $100? I mean, you can get a microSD card online for a fraction of the cost. Can't manufacturers buy these parts in bulk and get it for super cheap? Just something I've always been curious about...

What, like, eBay buys it from you straight up, no listing required? Think I could get a higher price if I listed it myself? I know it's an older phone by now, but eh, was hoping to get a little more from it, especially if the Nexus ends up being $600+ off contract.

He was also saying that devices branded as "Droid" cost more than other Android devices. And I simply pointed out that it wasn't because they are called "Droid" but because they happen to have better hardware than many devices that aren't "Droid", especially on Verizon. Understand now?

I was referring to manbearpig's post. Don't be so touchy. wow.

only Apple charges +$100 for each tier of memory...
and they only do it because Apple consumers believe Apple - when APPLE says that their hardware, features and pricings are competitive...

Apple reminds me of Acura...
why are acuras so overprices? they do not have better HP/Torque, nor are they more reliable cars... For that, spend the extra $5k and get a Lexus...

likewise,
take the extra $100, and get a Android Phone (Motorola or Samsung).
(...maybe mid/end of next year HTC will catch up.);

but, don't fall into the Apple trap...
buying a new phone for just a processor upgrade, and new iOS 5 software (that'll eventually be on all the older phones anyway)...

Easy money for the manufacture. They have a version if you are on a budget but if you want the loaded version its silly expensive. Look at cars, I've seen the loaded versions being nearly twice the price but don't worry they can still get your business (money) with the base model...
