They didn't know the expected price, but guestimated around $500 due to the power packed features of the phone. I told them that if the price of the phone is not at least equivalent to, or lower then the price of the IPhone, then palm could keep that "Golden Goose". The features and style appear to be great, but if Palm is going to force people to take out a second mortgage just to purchase the phone, then they are making a big mistake in this economic environment, because the banks aren't lending and the money trees in the back yard aren't producing. Even if Palm offered the phone for $250 - $299, with a 2-year contract, they will still make a good profit within a year and put Apple (IPhone) on notice. I hope they learned from the mistake Sony made with the PS3's initial cost of $700-$800, which backfired in their face and caused more people to purchase a lower priced XBOX360 instead. P.S. - I can not mention the rep's name. I think the release date is a secret, and I don't want them to get fired. There's enough of that going on already.
