a rhetorical question and a bargain =)
Does anyone from OzB buy from ShoppingSquare?
luv their delivery costing, extra $25 bucks for living 45min from a town :)
Delivery & Handling:$29.95
Remote Area Surcharge:$25.00
Looks like a pretty sweet phone by the write ups.
yes it is the cheapest and it should drop more with the S3 about to be announced, wait for that before deciding on new phone.
LOL.. Qual-core CPU… :)
isn't quad-core an overkill for a phone?
Moore's law buddy, Moore's law.
Why is this phone dropping so quickly? It just came out, has generally good reviews, and being the ONLY quad core phone on the market means no competition either. Galaxy S 3 won't be here for at least a month, which BTW is available on pre order for $900!. If I remember correctly HTC sensation took about 3~ 4 months to drop to $550 mark and Galaxy S2 even longer. I'm not complaining,just a little confused.
Probs 660 with everyone taking a size-able cut this maybe merely due to shopping-square getting a cheap deal in asia
Why is this phone dropping so quickly?
a) no extendable memory
b) no user replaceable battery
c) galaxy s3Because they are over-priced.
yes even at $600 it is pretty expensive. you can get a decent laptop for these sorts of prices, surely a phone does not cost more than a few hundred to build.
It was revealed a few months ago that Apple's iPhones only cost 10% of their MSRP to manufacture.
Not all of the price you pay for a product goes into production costs. Their are other costs like marketing and R&D too. And a lot of it goes to profits.
Phones (and everything really) sell for the price people are willing to pay. And people are willing to pay $600 for now. When the newness factor wears off, it will drop.
Laptops are very cheap now because that market has been declining badly due to tablets eating into that market. When there is a decline in demand, a reduction in price follows, just as it will with phones after a few months. That is except for iPhone because its demand is evergreen (someone's contract is always running out every month and they enter a new contract to get the current model.. also it doesn't get superseded by a different model more than once a year since no competitors make iPhones).
Here's an interesting article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/apr/25/tablet-pc-m…
Quote from article: There's some confirmation of that in what Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive said on Apple's earnings call on Tuesday. He pointed to how quickly sales of the iPad have ramped up: "Through the last quarter, I should say, which is just two years after we shipped the initial iPad, we've sold 67m. And to put that in some context, it took us 24 years to sell that many Macs, and five years for that many iPods and over three years for that many iPhones."
Pretty good price i must say.
I have this phone and am very impressed with it's speed. Only things I don't like is no default games on phone, bad cropping tool when making pictures into background, and bad Optus reception (if you were a fool like me and bought this on a plan)
PS, you can change the colour option to White on the page (for an EXTRA $65 fee… -_-)
I have been curious why people buy the phone by paying $5xx - $6xx instead of joing a plan?
Normally the plan will be
$49 for the new phone (24 months)because you can go on liveconnected for $11 a month and not be locked into a contract
How do you keep your existing # if you discontinue liveconnected?
@ManUtdFans
Port it over.
Even with TPG's plans, I've worked it out to be - for a good phone (HTC One X or similar) on a $59p/m month plan, by buying the phone outright, assuming you are an existing TPG customer ($15 on the $18 per month plan), you get the same phone with more data and usage on TPG than CrazyJohns/Voda/Virgin at $45 p/m assuming your phone cost $700.
I haven't checked out liveconnected but I'd rather some tech support even if it is offshore and know that the network won't suddenly close down (TPG over LC I mean).
Thanks for sharing!
Just in here to say that I have no idea if this is a good price or not, but I got one of these bad boys on my contract renewal last week and I. Am. Loving It
Not sure if I'm ready to jump up to a 4.7" screen (coming from a Desire 3.7")
Unfortunately seems the One S has been overlooked in these price cuts.. anyone seen any decent prices on them?
is this a question or a bargain?
