I'm just waiting for them to finally announce what the actual price is going to be for the greater majority of buyers. $199 aint it.

I wonder if you can find places in Mexico that will sell pre-paid SIM cards**. Isn't that something that's pretty common in Europe? That might be the cheapest option, though it would mean your phone number would change every time you're in that country.

**sorry, I'm probably remembering that completely incorrectly...
