The jokes do not really exist because Blackberry have always been super expensive devices. Also, I am sure a lot of folks who made these jokes paid more for their iPhones and iPads.

I am thinking BB is targeting the select few device flaunters to buy at this price and then maybe drop to a shade above 35 within/after 3-4 months and stay there for a while.

Blackberrys have traditionally not seen massive price drop. But then they were not typical smartphones until now. Would be a shame if they drop the price significantly within a period of 2-3 months. It would stop people from going for newly launched devices which is only going to hurt them more.

Original BB Torch was launched at 35. Dropped to 30 in 6 months. 22 in 1.5 years. It was then stopped I think.
But then you never know with these companies ....
