How much are they? I have a 64GB wifi now, have for awhile, but I was just wondering since it's said Coming Soon for months now.

Those Matchbox Lamgorghini cars sure are expensive these days. I remember when you could buy a Matchbox car, truck, ambulance for a dollar or thereabouts.

$550 off contract & only come in 32g,,, 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook Pricing | CrackBerry.com ,,, i would think that you'd have to add a line to your plan as it would be considered a "device",,, not sure what advantage it would have over wifi only version 'cept microsd, 1.5g processor & little speed when out of wifi range, unless you're using it for business,,, i just got my 64gigger a few weeks ago & have no urge to get 4g/lte anymore,,, i don't think they're in the U.S. yet...
