Mike, the website suggests $300 which seems high to me. Only comes with a 33K modem also per the website... 33.6 Kbps is currently the industry standard, once 56 kbps is the standard, we will upgrade our models to this speed. This must be old information. In any case, in that you can buy a PC for $300 now, I think they may need to sell them considerably cheaper to be successful. Also can't determine if they are internet telephony enabled or not. Appears on the surface they are not. Seems that would be a significant design flaw. Some links on the product.... alcatel.com alcatel.com sf
