and no, ladies and gentleman, watch the complete elimination of Nokia from the North American market.....

$199 for a freaking iphone....how can nokia compete on price (let alone features?) Unless they sell this at $99 they are not going to move a single phone in North America....and they are going to be hard pressed to sell one in Europe as well.

Remember its $199 and a 2 yr contract! I'm sure in europe some carrier will subsidize the nokia for a contract

hmmm. 'complete elimination of nokia' is maybe a bit steep. here in the united states of europe, phones are so heavily subsidised by carriers that people baulk at paying anything at all for the handset when entering into a contract, even for an iphone - and esp for 2 years! Probably the main reason it didn't shift so well here...
the lower price will definitely help sell the iphone but it will remain difficult to convince UK consumers (geeks excluded of course) so used to free phones to part with money for a phone when signing an already pricey contract.
For this reason Nokias - available with numerous features (3G, GPS, etc is surely sooo last year anyway) and almost always free - will continue to sell very well in Europe, IMHO..
