hi
i was a bit off topic in another thread so i decided to make a new topic.it's about prices. weird prices.
for an example, on orange.ro, k800 is 436$ and w810 is 450$(taxes included). you pay less and get a better camera, xenon flash, bigger and clearer screen.... i don't get it.
on vodafone.ro, an k800 is 419$ and with taxes included... 500$ !! and my m600 was 490$ from orange.
in conclusion, insead buying a w810, you better buy a k800 because is cheaper and smarter. but if you go to odafone and want to buy k800, you better buy an m600 since in cheaper and much smarter.
all prices are standard prices
peace
ps:one more thing, at orange the m600 standard price is the SAME as on contract

ok, i dont know bout the k800 being cheaper but i know for sure that the w800 and k800 are almost the same in price and the w810 is the cheapest
sites as followed:
w810: http://plemix.com/Merchant2/m[....]_Code=12047&Category_Code=SONP
w800: http://plemix.com/Merchant2/m[....]_Code=12040&Category_Code=SONP
as u can see on that site, the w810 is $275 & the w800 is $324.
next site:
w810: http://www.myworldphone.com/w810i.htm
w800: http://www.myworldphone.com/w800i.htm
as u can see on this one, w810 is for $279 & w800 is for $309. I just find it weird that the w810 is cheaper than the w800, btw k800 is not cheaper

Certain phones get more support from the SP's so therefore the more popular phones will be cheaper to hook a customer into their network, regardless of the handset cost prices.
Its just sales tactics.

hehe, indeed w810 is more expensive... do u have the chance to visit a shop and ask for an official statement of orange according that prices?
Posted by antichrist

Shite, if i had only known bout this earlier, i'd have bought a k800 instead of a w810, its too late now, next time maybe.

how is the service and the support in romanian orange shops?
Posted by antichrist
if you want to ask them for a recomandation for a phone, its just fine but if ask them about the differences between a m600 and p990 they will answer the camera.
if you want the short version:poor
