On openomoko wiki pages it is written that price will be around 399

dollars, so this means that in europe will be around 260 euros or they

will do "the same" like some other companies do (sell something for

example for 400 dollars in US and for 400 euros in EU)?<br>

  <pre wrap="">SMT is running. This means printed circuit boards are being produced daily.


Then, the circuit boards are being assembled into phones. This means the

plastic casing is being mounted

As well as other bits and pieces.


Then the phones are tested. Then they are packed and shipped.


So figure, assembly is going to start in the week of june 16, pack and ship

by june 23

Arrive and clear customs by july 1.


Hey 4th of july sale! Sorry american bias. But I'd figure early july.

Hi,


I am a OMmer but I can help you because I studied a bit the cost to sell

the OM in Europe.


399 $ is the price of FR in US.


We can image that EU reseller can buy FR in 10 pack, so 369 $ for unit

(I don't know how much tehy pay, It is a supposition done to help calc)


369 $ => 240 Euro


To this ammount you must to add expedition from US to EU: 160 $ / 10 =

16$ => 10 Euro


To this ammount you must add Environmental tax + Dougane ( that replace

TVA - 20%?) = 50 Euro (I considered only tva)


With all this we arrive to 300 euro.


Then there is to add Warranty that in Italy (and I think is Europe) that

is mandatory for 2 years and the margin for the reseller.


Pulster say that is able to sell FR at 299 Euro. I think they are magician!


In every case I think is a good price.

Afaik PIN and PUK are security mechanisms built into every GSM

SIM-Card, you also get them shipped with the SIM, not the Phone.

So i think the Freerunner _has to_ implement PIN and PUK for even

accessing the SIM in it.

Note that this amount contains the cost of shipping to the US, US

customs, and the margin for the US seller.


n!


I imagine that Pulster won't import 10-packs from the US. They will

probably order larger quantities directly in China, so instead of paying

for shipping to the US, paying US customs, then shipping to Europe and

paying European customs, they only have to pay for shipping to Europe

and pay European customs. So that makes it quite a bit cheaper already.

And the bigger quantities should help too. Even if they import from the

US, I'm sure they get a much better price for 100 10-packs than we get


Yep.
