The 5800XM, minus WiFi, a pared-down camera (minus flash) for $213?

Ooh but it's got those fancy colored rear covers so I can be stylish!

Nokia, you're really making it hard for me to continuing to support and defend you. Please stop making multiple 'flavors' of the 5800.

"but I don't think Apple is shaking in its boots"

This phone has nothing to do with Apple? And I'm pretty sure Nokia didn't make this phone to compete with the iphone? It's a budget phone, it's competing against phones like the LG Cookie, that sold amazingly well, so companies like Samsung and now Nokia have made their own budget touchscreens.

@months: a 3G touchscreen phone with an app store that may get to $99 (or less hopefully) with carrier subsidies? That's called competing with Apple.

@Danny Allen: I think it still warrants a different category due to the price difference from the iPhone and comparatively limited functionality. Don't forget that the average iPhone user pays about $90 per month for the AT&T plan.

Does *any* phone/device in the US need 3G?

The United States has poor coverage for 3G, so why really even have 3G?

Especially when companies like AT&T proudly boast their 3G video calling/video share service in non-3G areas, when there's no 3G even remotely close to them.

@Dakota Courtois: I get 3G and 3.5G connectivity just about everywhere with my unlocked N95. Once in a while it kicks down to Edge but even that's been happening less and less lately.

@Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude disguised as another dude: Come way up to northern New York State then. I'm an hour or so away from the nearest 3G coverage on ANY carrier.

@Dakota Courtois: Well if you are around the Adirondaks, then yes coverage is nil. According to AT&T though they've got coverage as far as Potsdam. Plattsburgh even has a little 3G goodness too..
