Appreciate your help. Yes, not worth going offshore with not much of price difference compared to a local stock. I guess, will go with that price.
How are you liking the phone?
Love the phone, definitely the best BlackBerry Android phone yet. I came from the Priv which I liked but battery life was always average, the phone could heat up and get laggy and keyboard wasn't as good. The KEYone does everything well, smooth performance, great keyboard and crazy battery life (certainly don't need my powerbanks or spare chargers anymore). Really nice device, the fingerprint sensor in the space bar key and convenience keys are nice touches as well. Also a good camera. The smaller screen is needless to say the one major compromise due to the keyboard but you get used to it and it's still good enough to watch videos etc at 4.5", it doesn't really worry me at all now.
I got mine 2 weeks ago for $815.
I then purchased $800 of gift cards for $740 from Lumo Rewards who offer 7.5% off JB Hi-Fi Gift Cards. Some other places such as Entertainment Book have them for 5% off or via Youi insurance reward program. There are probably a number of other utility, insurance etc. programs with discounted gift cards in their rewards programs. Some may have discounted gift cards via employee programs, car clubs, sports memberships etc.
I was pretty happy with that price for Australian stock and JB offer 2 year warranty on phones over $500, grey import is also around the high $700s so it's def. worth getting Aus stock.
I've seen people get them as low as $799 from JB but I guess it depends on the store/state, there was no way mine was going lower than $815 and at the time it was the last one in stock at that store.
