Allegedly the pre order price will go up to the full retail price if $500 as soon as they start shipping units
Emphasis on 'allegedly'. I share your scepticism.
Brommers-
Quite. There does seem to be some ambiguity if the price will change 1. when they start shipping units to customers who ordered them way back when (i.e. hopefully soon) or 2. when they catch up and get to the stage where they're 'shipping to order' (or potentially option 3. not at all...)
Considering where it is in the market place, $300 puts it in line with the 520/820 and a a bit more - although not insanely more - than Wahoos offerings, if it goes upto $500 that changes things significantly.

Currently $300 (if you sign up for the pre-order pricing) plus $75 'taxes' - which I believe covers import duty/VAT etc. So about £270 all in. So expensive, but not insanely so considering it's feature set and more importantly it's potential.
Allegedly the pre order price will go up to the full retail price if $500 as soon as they start shipping units, so it might not be long if you want to jump on the bandwagon. I'm a little torn, like a few have said, I don't really want to be a beta tester, but I can also see the huge potential of this device, it could totally trounce everything that's come before.
Really tempted to bang it on the plastic at this point and return it if it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
