Hey guys, a bit of an update regarding my bulk thread. A spanner has been thrown in the works because I discovered I may have to charge an extra RM300 or so in addition to the current price I was aiming for because of the import permit from SIRIM. I'm trying to see what possible avenues I have with it and if it's not possible to keep the price low, I'm canceling the bulk.

Oh no. habis the hope to get n4 for now.

u guys are kidding yourselves if you compare with US price like for the N7. We wont get that price. The price we got is somewhat similar to the price for N7 sold in UK (pounds).

For the N4, it'll be more realistic to expect the same UK pricing instead of US, which is £239 for the 8GB model and £279 for the 16GB

the EU and UK price is inclusive of VAT.
So still got chance to get cheap price, coz malaysia got no VAT,
but dependns on local distributor to not jack up the price.

after the n7 pricing, i doubt benchmark with US price is realistic.
looking at UK/Eur pricing will give a better indication of the xpected price.

Ehehe..no la. I dont think cheap price is the reason. Samsung and HTC sell their Nexus phone at premium price before this. Only now Google force the phone manufacture to sell it Nexus phone/tablet at low price. But retailers and traders will surely take advantage and jack up the price again. cry.gif

In before someone said show me where you could buy a quad core Krait with HD IPS screen coupled with Nexus experience and instantaneous Android updates for less than 1.5k

Yes, well aware that 349 might even be very close to the cost to make and shipped to USA. If market here by LG themselves, sure jack up at least 499 to even make the slightest profit and provide honourable warranty service. I'm just guessing but we all knew that USA gets special treatment when it comes from USA companies.

this is absolutely country price discrimination !!!

they sure wont jack the price higher than the same spec device, but will a bit cheaper than it, like 200 to 300 bucks. then consumer will fell, it is cheap(compare to the same spec device, but actually it is high price compare to original price)!! this is call business... tongue.gif

sure we won't get same price as US, but why we must accept it? we still have a lot of choices.
