Hi, I am curious how expensive a T68 phone is in your country according to the price level.

In China, T68 is VERY expensive. It is as much as a well-paid white collar's salary of one month.

In sweden, it's too expensive
Seriously, it costs about 6000 SEK, somewhere somewhat
less, unless you buy it with a network provider contract.
That is far less than an office executive's monthly salary
though, mut not a neglectible expense. As a comparison,
you would get about 200 Big Mac's for that money.
(10 SEK is approximately 1 EURO or 1 US$)

In Spain you can get it for 550-600€, it depens where you buy it.

If you get it through a mobile network it costs about 400€

Here in Finland the T68/T68i cost 670? I guess it's because of the taxes. But nevertheless it's too much for a poor student

The ATT locked t68's are only $180 WITH A CONTRACT.

Average uk sim free price of a T68m is £350 inc VAT. Prices have bid downwards approximately 15% since launch back in late October. The percentage fall in the SIM free price is small compared to its competitors or other phones. This can be explained due to excess demand condition, lack of substition, bandwagon effect and poor introduction of colour phones by rival manufacturers and of course, a wonderful phone WAY AHEAD of competition.

I think prices of the T68i will fall faster than its older brother as market conditions have changed:

More substitutes available or imminently available including SE substitututes (T100)


SE will revise demand for the phone and supply at a faster rate as the T68m was demand underestimated prior to launch! Prices would be more flexible downwards.

Revised product is not a new product, its just updated. Consumers' perceptions would be lower than they were for the T68m!

Under these grounds, it would be logical to predict a faster falling general price for the T68i.

Well damn di dooo. Down in the US i got mine for $200
But i had to get activation, which wasnt a problem.

Oh and trust me. it seem to me that the US get things much more later then any other country. (that is pretty bad for a first world country)
