Tinroad - My most recent response from Eastech on 3/25 indicates retail pricing for ET700 will be "around USD $399".
Have you received something since then? that quotes $300... or $200 less than what Eastech has stated on 3/25 will be $399? Sorry, if you already posted the info from Eastech, I must have missed it.
With Nomad's new $269 pricing announcement today (effectively about a $320 price with normal and probable accessories), I imagine that Eastech will drop their price by the time it ships... but thus far Eastech's number has been stated to be $399.
