Hopefully they’re just re-evaluating… Maybe considering making the $299 for the 16GB model sale they got going now more permanent.  Definitely can’t continue at the full price anymore.

Could also do with more convenient accessories, like a dock with HDMI and perhaps host mode USB.  Or at least a dock that can be used without having to remove the protective case all the time.

OS/UI are gorgeous and it’s very snappy. The ONLY drawback is the lack of apps. If there was a more active app market then this would easily be top of the heap (or at least close).

The impression I get is that it is only good if you are a very active BB user.
