The price was including taxes (VAT), and I guess they would ship it from UK to European backers, with no duties inside the European union.

I agree that the price was high, but not higher than for other phones in the same market segment (comparable hardware and such). The problem with the price is that it wasn't very attractive either. A new, untested phone 9 months from now, for the same price and with comparable hardware to currently existing phones.
