Any idea on pricing for the US version on Feb 20?

[crg28]

So it looks like the US will only get an unlocked version of the 800, which is fine with me. But I was wondering if anyone has any idea of the price will be?

With the 900 at $99 with a 2 yr contract on AT&T and the 710 free on contract at T-Mobile, what would be a reasonable price for the unlocked 800?

I'm trying to decide between a 4S and the 800 (the 900 is too big for me....I have been a PRE/2/3 user for the last 2.5 yrs.....)

Thanks in advance!

Here is the unlocked Lumia at Expansys US ($699.99 / $599.99 for black)

Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone Cyan (Unlocked, 16GB) #NOK800BL16GB - Expansys USA

Generally in the UK they are a bit more expensive than others but it may give you a rough idea.

There were a lot of rumors flying around that US carriers, especially AT&T, would not agree to sell Nokia Windows Phones unless they stopped selling unbranded/unlocked phones in the US. I don't know how true it was, but I can see US carriers demanding that.

Do you have a source for that information? or was it just a rumor you read? Maybe they they can sell the 800 unlocked, but branded.
