Wasn’t the official price of this (in China) supposed to be US$155?
Yes but then they add their 40%+ mark up. Personally think it’s excessive but if people order it at that price then they will happily charge it.
Just wait 2 months once the hype tones down
Yes, but Westerners must pay more.
The iuni u3 is the same price and arguably better specs.
And no software updates.
Everyone loves not getting those time consuming OTA updates!
when will you have this one with 3GB?
when in Europe warehouse?
Such a shame this does not have 2G/GSM coverage on 850MHz so it would be useful in North America. The other specs are phenomenal for the price!
do you have to worry about custom charges with these? Im in the UK
