Could $99 be the price to subscriber, with an implied carrier subsidy to Q?
If this is not the case, I would tend to agree with you, especially since Noka can't get phones into the market or carriers won't take them. With the new web-browsing function, the small size, the long life, one would think that the price point should be at a premium, though not as high as a star tack so as to price the TPhone out of the "affordable" market. Maybe the IC's that Q has for the non-Q ASIC functions are so efficient and assembly so cheap that margins are going to be large even at $99.
Just read subsequent posts on same theme re. carrier; regrets to be tardy here.

Regards. Steven
