The design is pure greatness.
Why RiM just bring it out. Looks pretty nice for now. Couldn't get any better. Give it a nice software finishing and let us have a nice september.

$600...sounds a little steep to me. I'm thinking (hoping) for around $500.

Its a nice thought anyway. I'll have to buy it out of contract as well.

yeah, but anyone know what the price will be for an Onyx with a 2 year contract? That might lighten the pressure on my wallet

I'm hoping for $199 w/ 2 year contract, but that would pretty much force them to lower the price even further on the 8900.
It seems like $199 is the current price point that would be attractive the majority of casual users. But if they market this thing as a device equal to or better than the Bold, then they might feel they can charge Bold level prices or more...

I believe that $299 w/ contract is the same price point as what Bold came out with....

To be honest with Sprint being the current carrier for the PRE at&t isn't that worried and there is a GSM/UMTS version on the horizon. We don't really consider Sprint competition. at&t really only competes with one company and that's Verizon....
