I ordered a Dot. Yes I got the $99-with-voice-remote deal for Prime members, but that is not the proper price comparison. Now that same thing is $179 without a remote. It is half the price if you don't need speakers. But yes, I'm sure there will be promotions in the future that will get it below the initial $89 price.

I'd like to see them upgrade Echo devices to support pairing with Bluetooth headset/headphones so they can be used 'silently' (with respect to other people, in workplaces etc.). Not sure Dot output will work with wired headphones, but hope so.
