Weekly poll: Is €930 a fair price for the Galaxy S8?

The Samsung Galaxy S8 was always expected to be pricey, but the latest rumor pushed the expected price even higher - €830 for the S8 and €930 for the Galaxy S8+. Is that a fair price?

It launched in 2009 with Windows Mobile 6.5, heavily modded by HTC. Since then it has run Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8, Android, Microsoft's Android, Windows RT, Firefox OS, webOS, MeeGo, Tizen... iOS is probably the only mobile platform that eluded the fabled HD2. There are some...
