Word from France is that that Snapdragon-toting TG01 will cost 99 Euros from Orange, which works out to around $139 US. Not a bad deal for something with a 1 GHz processor, a 4.1″ WVGA screen, and measuring in at an anorexic 9.9mm thin. Whether or not that pricetag translates to other carriers is totally up in the air – service providers have the final call on how much they’re willing to subsidize, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them try to squeeze out something closer to the $200 mark for this calibre of hardware.
