You don't really know the price of the Touch HD yet. The current price is from Italy, and as we all know, Europe pricing sucks.
Don't forget, an unlocked 16gb iPhone is about US$800 in HK (and HK has cheap electronics) and about US$700 for the 8gb. It's not that cheap either. In fact it's about as expensive as the Touch Pro.
