I get what your saying. These days we expect more tech for money. Microsoft has been super, suer slow with support for LTE.

The $900 is not just for the phone....the accessories alone look like they are worth around $200-$300, which means that the phone itself is likely selling for around $500-$600 no commitment price, which is about average for a smartphone with similar s...

And ugly as sin OS to boot...
Both Microsoft & Nokia on crystal meth?
$900 for a phone running an obscure OS & a few cheap extra things you could pick up on Ebay for nothing? Are they high? As much as I would like Windows to be able to compete with Android & iOS, they simply don't at this point. This is one of the first Nokia Windows smartphones? Wow! I don't know what poorly informed consumer would choose this grossly overpriced phone over the dozens of Android Smartphones or iPhones. I would rather have a few Blackberries at this point as well. There are hardly any apps for WP7 compared to Android & Apple. Nuts! Nokia should have kept their Symbian smartphones around if this is the kind of new smartphone they intend to sell & at this price point.
$900 ?!
All I can say to that price is WOW. Those headphones and Speakers better have some phenomincal sound quality at that price. The Lumia line is great phones, though. My buddy recently got a Lumia 710 from Rogers, damn is that phone snappy.
