Price Confirmed?

---

Hi,

Two leading online mobile sites have posted their price for the unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. Does this mean that the price has been confirmed for this set?

On both sites (Xpansys and Dechowireless), the price for X1 is the same. It is - brace yourself - $949.00 to $949.99. (a 0.99 difference actually)

I have been expecting it to be a whooping $1100 since long now, so this price on these two sites is a relief. Not to mention, Xpansys selling for $949 could mean that you may be able to get it a bit cheaper for some other site or shop. (this is say not from personal experience)


So now that i know that the price is close to the others - as an example, Touch Pro on Xpansys is $899 and on Dechowireless is $920) - the question remains; which set to buy?

Best Regards.

I forgot to include the site links...

(You can use the country selector in Expansys to select your country or a one near you to get that country's site with pricing that currency)

Well Amazon.de has it listed at 639 euros, which is about as much.

On a side note, Touch HD is listed at 619 euros.

Well I am told devices are usally the same price in euros and dollars, not conversion for equal value. Meaning it will be 639 USD (assuming 639 Euro is correct).

Nope that is not the case. Consider Expansys...

Their US site lists the price as: $949.99.
Their UK site lists the price as: £584.99.

Funny thing is that taking into account the current currency rates and converting the price, £584.99 should equal a little over $840. I also converted through XE.com and same result.

Looking over at Expansys's other sites, some countries' have higher price in comparison to others... the cheapest i've seen so far is on their UK site... (so i'm guessing that the other prices include delivery to the country - considering that Xperia is launching in UK and a few other countries before others - so it will probably come down on those countries as it is launched there locally)

Yep... Amazon's price is pretty much the same as Expansys's price... as for the Touch HD, i have it on my list of mobiles to look at if Xperia doesn't get the reviews i'm hoping for. But after Xperia i've got my eyes on HTC Touch Pro... i'm thinking of going for a device with a keyboard - unless HTC Touch HD is really something else. (i've had a 1st gen iphone since it launched and am pretty tired of it and its on screen keyboard and all)

You can't compare the prices this way. Great Britain has no € ! The Pound in Great Britain is totaly different.
The German amazon prize of 639 € is tax included! And the tax is different in different countries. Therefore you first have to look, where is the prize from, than if tax is included or not and get the prizes without tax to compare

355€ here!

(there is another ad that i found that was selling it for $300. I asked 'em if it was the final version, and they said yes! . This was a month back)

Can't be right, the Diamond is more expensive than Xperia there...
And that can't be true :P
