hey. do yourself a favor and do a little research. i'm sure you'll find that the cost to this phone is easily justifiable. in mine and a lot of other people's opinion (including just about everybody at verizon ((i work for verizon)) ) this blows a PDA/smartphone away. and i don't know what kinda of 990 you're talking about but do this. take a picture with it. and print it out using the pictbridge technology. quality is MORE than enough. the 990 is truly an all-in-one device and an overall great buy. hands down!!

This phone is pricey but it I'll go between 250 and 100 dollars in a year or two. I know that it won't go down any l...

This message is a posting from a different thread. https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php ?fm=m&ff=950&fi=776312

Let us not get worked up about the price. Whenever something is released in the market for the first time, it is usually priced higher than what we really want to pay for. To add, I believe the A990 (correct me if I am wrong) is the first 3.2 Megapixel Camera Phone from the States. When it is the first of something, it will reflect in the price.

The good news is everything drops in price as time passes. At certain times of the season, items go on promotion. Other authorized Verizon Wireless retailers will attempt to compete with the actual Verizon Wireless store. That being said, I have come across a price of $249.99 (...
