You are right, this is more expensive. I guess that's because they include a router in the box. I do wish they sell this same phone without the router. I have both this phone, and the Netgear one which costs much less -- this phone has a great speaker phone option that the Netgear one does not have although the volume on this phone is much lower than the Netgear one!

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

It is "insanely expensive" but you can buy this part for about $55 on other web sites. Even Norelco's Web Page has it for about $75 so somebody is gouging here.

I'm sorry I believe that they are charging that much for one unit on this item. A little overpriced obviously. Our price is for one unit.

If you are 100% sure you can build one without problems, then go for it if you are doing it for fun. I considered building mine, but their price point is too good for me to pass up on. Consider that you assume the risk on your build - I've know good builders that mess up, break a pin, fry a board, etc.You can do it 'somewhat' cheaper, but it comes down to the value of your time and the risk of a mistake.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

Uh.. ye-ah! Seriously, this things dont last forever. What's the alternative.. get it repaired? Good luck with that. I'm not being a smart ass.. I'm realistic. At the price you originally paid, a unit with reparable parts would be 2 -3 times more expensive.

Short answer: kind of? The installation can be tricky but once you get it installed it's totally worth it. There are several videos online that walk you through the process...that's the only way I would have gotten it done. Give it a shot it's worth it.

I don't know it is over priced or not. I checked price in retail, it is much higher. Furthermore, it is free shipping.

It is on the expensive side but you will defenenetly will feel the difference. Some really cool extra features too! :)

Did you answer your own question above? My answer: Yes. I love it. Get it. It works fine. The competitors would rather have you spend big bucks with them instead of saving.

Yes, but save your money....this product is 10X more expensive than it should be.

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)

It's a little expensive for that actually. Cool camera but not economical. Good luck.

Why? It's priced as a disposable radio. If you are wanting a quality device that will last you years and years maybe consider something else. This is a good intro radio until you decide this hobby is worth sinking some cash until.
