Re:Why Amazon buying webOS from HP is a no-brainer on Monday October 03, 2011 @12:32PM (#3066955)
I imported one for $50 and have had it for 4 years. It's only passable as a phone to be honest as the old eink display used could only show a few types of characters (no uppercase letters!). I'd be very interested in a new eink display phone but my standards for acceptable UI has been raised by modern smartphones.

Apple is giving its mobile OS away for free too (they previously used to charge some users to download new versions). Apple is "monetizing its software inventions" with high hardware margins.
