Sub $400 globally is pretty much guaranteed. I just bought mine outright for $286 after tax in Canada. Sub $400 globally is pretty much guaranteed.

I could understand Nokia fans being excessively positive, but Negative just makes me think they're not real fans. Thank you for some perspective.

T-Mobile always does Web-Only discounts on any phone that they sell at any point and time. From the top tier to the bottom tier. It is a marketing effort to get people that shop online to purchase their devices and services. They even have midnight sales from time to time where you can get the Galaxy SII and other highend devices for free. Does that mean those devices are not selling to expectations? No. The 710 could go for free for a limited time and that means nothing compared to expectations as I have see big name devices go for free on the Tmo site in the past. Don't always assume a negative reason, it makes you look exteremely biased. This discount has NOTHING to do with selling to expectations.

I have a N8, and when I picked up the 710 I thought it was thin and tiny, even though the screen is slightly bigger than the N8! I am really looking forward to seeing the Lumia 900. I'm glad T-Mobile is giving this device some shine, and allowing consumers to get a quality device at an affordable price.

They all have had it free since the beginning. That's how US market works (except for iphone). Carriers and manufacturers sell at the announced price and third-party sellers sell at a lower price. 710 was/is/ and will be free at many other third-party retailers like

As I have stated many times before, at this stage of the game Nokia and Microsoft have to move these devices hand over fist just to stay in contact with the competition. They need to sell a lot. That's what they're doing with the price reduction. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the 710 drop to free w/contract in the next couple weeks. If they could pay people to take these phones, they'd probably do that too. They really need high volume here, regardless of profit or revenues or anything. These devices need to get out the door and into people's hands or they will fail to build critical mass for WP7. 2.5M devices in Q1 for Nokia is a baseline failure test and 5M, unlikely as it is, is the sort of number they'd need to just tread water. This probably means that they’re not selling to expectations.
