the price of htc desire will be at rm2290..

If this is true, all of us will give you a hug rclxms.gif

But my guess is RM2499.

QUOTE(zackloy @ Apr 28 2010, 03:50 PM)
Agreed but I still don't get why we still need to impose the tax (besides the obvious $$$ to the Govt)....isn't the Govt. pushing for adoption of tech?

Yes, but only for non-communication devices. Tech stuff like computers yes. Apparently custom officers are very sensitive to the word 'Communication Devices'. I had a few items sent over by my client. They made a wrong declaration by putting them into communication device category and there it goes.

For those who attempts to compute a breakdown in costing to get an estimated price, you can't really do that. Because our tax and duty structure is different here. HTC/SiS may even have a different price structure for Malaysia. Its normal for global companies to price a product higher in some regions to compensate for attractive pricing of the same product in another region. In other words, there are a lot of factors and variables to account for to get a clear indication what price it may be. Its as good as anyone's guess.

Don't we already know? People price a product however they want it be and there will still be people buying it. Its rampant here. Its only recently I see main brands like Apple playing nice with their product pricing. And so on... Frankly speaking, the Legend going for RM1999 is a good start for SiS. I hope it doesn't end there.

RM2299 looks reasonable. This is because if we take the price from clove.co.uk + shipping will total RM1760 (exchange rate 4.95 from BNM website). Then add 30% import tax equals RM2278.

My guess only...

ZZZzzzz why need to guess ? just wait for the pricing , even if you give Rm1800~2000 , does it make a effect on real pricing ? nope , you are just comforting yourself and get disappointed eventually sweat.gif .. and dont compare with clove.uk pricing , this tax thingy aint 100% accurate , sometimes cheaper sometime expensive due to other factors.

Even i said so ! I also want to give my guess tongue.gif refer to Legend and Nexus one Malaysia SIS set pricing
GOOGLE NEXUS ONE RM2280
HTC LEGEND RM1950


N1 already cost Rm2280 , so do you think Desire will be Rm2290 ? nope ~~~~~ It will be a bit more expensive than N1 , my guess is at least Rm2.4k

Bro... are you sure you're replying on the right thread let alone replying to the right post? Thats a flat out copy from my post on the Samsung Galaxy S thread. This is Desire thread.

And I'm the one discouraging price speculations based on converting prices from other countries.

Anyway, RM2290 for Desire isn't entirely baseless. True, the N1 is around this price. But its not available in this country. Availability through imports don't count. Still the RM2299 price point is left vacant in the Malaysian market.

Also... only geeks or enthusiasts like us care to buy or consider Nexus One. Normal people buy whatever phones officially sold in Malaysia. The statistics say it all. biggrin.gif
