N-Gage QD - Worth It At $99?

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing the possible pricing for Nokia's enhanced N-Gage QD mobile phone/game deck combo, which "will arrive in the Western Hemisphere on June 29, where units will sell for a list price of $199." Although "Reports from Europe and Asia--by way of CNN--indicate that foreign mobile phone networks are heavily subsidizing the QD in exchange for extended service contracts", the U.S. price is not yet known - the article points out: "When the QD was initially unveiled, Nokia publicly stated that it expected a carrier-subsidized $99 price point to be common." What price would you consider picking up an N-Gage QD for?

Sadly, my 8290 is dying quick. Its antenna contact on the circuit board is worn out, and I've tried patching it to no avail (damn, why couldn't i get an EE degree?)

I caved in and ordered a motorola v400. thank you employee discount. (so its 40% off list price, and no contract)
