Now, I know this unit isnt selling well but lets look at this for a bit
shall we.

UK n-gage is £235 while the US its going for $199 or £117. Same unit, both
are retail pricing.

Again we live in rip-off Britain. For the price of one UK n-gage I could get
two US. Now thats a big difference.

I would think the US would be more, there likely to only sell a few units as
its GSM and the US is mostly analog still meaning low demand for the unit.

Nokia, I spit at you, I spit at you and all your family <spit>

Yeah, but the $199 in the US through a $100 rebate or voucher. They
actually pay $299 for the N-Gage and then get $100 back or vouchers to that
value.
