So buying it unlocked in the UK will work out to £200 more expensive?? Here's where I ask if any HNer coming to London from the USA would be willing to bring one down here :)
Is there something technically different with the phone that prevents this arbitrage? What do they mean by "optimized for T-Mobile’s network"?
This occurs far too often in my view and it's always coined on "exchange rates". I'm not sure what sort of optimisations they could make other than being preloaded with T-Mobiles network settings since it is supposed to be the pure experience.
After listening to countless rants from friends in the UK about the cost of video games and other media, I've become convinced they just take the US price and switch the currency symbol, giving or taking 20 bucks.
