20 Euronen is not something to write home about.
Nonetheless, I wonder why they did it and if the price will even drop further.
Might be worth to wait until x-mas to see what'll happen.....if you can bring up the patience, that is.

That drop is the subsequent drop in price that hapened in USA, Canada and UK. Before, it was 750$USD, 950$CAD, 580�UK and 799€ in Europe.

Last friday, Blackberry droped the price to 699$US, 899€CAD and 560� UK. I have been posting here all week about European price not getting a drop, well, it got today... Shame that our price drop wasn't as strong as the US and Canada., they got twice the drop. At the conversion rate for US and canada, our drop should have been more in the 35-40€

Yet another of my uneducated, pulling stuff out of my behind guesses:

They are doing something about the noise about pricing, and really all the prices are just testing waters on how high they can charge. I mean if they're using Reddit as an advertising channel, they are really doing something out of the box to see what's the reaction of the mass public.

Has anyone who preordered actually had their card charged the full price yet? I know Amazon does this, even if you preorder, they don't charge it until they ship and they can lower the final price.
