I like the concept and I'm sure the product is great, but not putting the actual cost of the product anywhere on the website is insane to me. Just say it's going to be $730 and I can make the decision to put down a deposit or not. Only being shown the $100 deposit without any indication of the actual price is one of the worst dark patterns I can imagine.
I agree. It showed the price when the presale was still available, so this seems like an oversight. Unless they plan to change the price.
Also, I'm still waiting for an actual hands-on review. It's really quite expensive given that my 3 year old phone was under half the price and is considerably more powerful.
I highly doubt this. In my opinion, the much more likely reasoning was that there was a huge drop off in pre-order conversion on whichever page had the price and someone important said "we should try removing the price to see how that affects conversion."
