this is a normal price - in Germany the Phone costs 499-530 € in the shops, by a factor of 1,25 and transport costs this is what it ought to cost.
It´s because Nokia does not sponsor the price in the US and probably a normal importer just makes a working margin.
The fact that many goods are 25 % cheaper in the US is due to the subventioning that many european vendors do pulling down € prices to the exact same amont in $. And vice versa we pay the same amount in € for stuff that is made and sold in the US in $ e.g. Apple costs exactly the same in € in the Apple store in Germany than what you pay in Apple´s US Store in $.
We are the colonies and only once in a while you see how we feel about it.
