Nokia 5800 Pricing Explained

You might be wondering why Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic was priced at such an insane amount ($500), and it looks like the reason has been divulged. Apparently it’s because the phone comes with a €100 Nokia Music Store voucher and a 3-month subscription to Nokia Maps Navigation service. It seems that this is only valid through the holiday season, as the phone will retail at its original price of €279. This sure looks like a dirty method to milk more money out of unsuspecting early adopters over the holiday season.
