Nokia 5800 XpressMusic price: 279 or 429? Here’s the truth (maybe :P)

The new Nokia 5800 Tube is probabily, since it was unveiled in October, the most awaited phone of 2008. The implementation of the s60 Touch UI and the very attractive price tag were the key features, to expect it to be among the best-sellers of 2009 in the mobile industry.
Nokia announced first that the phone price was expected to be of 279 € + VAT. The low price, as said below, was one of the greatest surprises.
But only one month later, rumors began to spread in forums and communities, saying that the price was to be retouched to 429 € in most countries, including taxes.

So, the phone launch is approaching and some stores are already taking preorders at the price of 429 €.
Many users are disappointed, because the price is higher than expected, but last minute news are telling that the price could still be a (good) surprise in some countries at least.
According to latest news, Nokia’s official price is still 279 € + VAT. The problem is that regional Nokia divisions, in each country, will be allowed to offer the phone in a bundle with additional features/services. So, especially for Christmas, some countries are offering the phone at 279 € + taxes + a 100 € voucher of "Comes with Music" songs, plus a 3-months subscription to Nokia Maps.
So, here’s why in some countries the price became 429 €.
The same sources are telling that, probably starting from January, the phone will be sold, at least, in some countries, without additional services (so, without "comes with music" vouchers), for the retail price of 279 € +VAT (In Italy, this would mean a price of 335 € wich is a unusual price, so probably, 349 €).
And we all hope so, Nokia.
