Hi y'all,

The price of the T68m is 600 Euros here

How much do you think the price will decrease when the T68i comes out?

Also, do you think there'll be problems finding a new T68m, when the T68i comes out?

I want a T68m, buy cannot afford to buy it. I'm hoping for a big price decrease

Thanks.

Do you think that SE will cease production of the T68m once the T68i is released??

When T68i is out they only sell out T68m in stock as T68i will be the production model.
If an upgraded T68m will have the same functions as T68i as SE says i think the prices of t68m will raise because of they become rare and many think they are more goodlooking than T68i. On the other hand if software and function should differ people may prefer the new T68i

I can think of an senario where if T68i has better keys that don't rattle and alot of T68m users feels thats is a problem they might want to sell their T68m's and get a T68i instead in which case the secondhand price should drop a bit quicker then if there wasn't a T68i released.
But the T68m been out so long now that the secondhand market should be getting bigger anyway so price should drop anyway.
When it comes to retail price, I don't think it will diff much atleast not stores that have bought large quantaties unless they have a large margine in/out.
Does anyone have a clue how much a retailer have to pay for the phone do they have a large margine?
