Hi, Last time I checked, that was about the right price. Extortionate, yes, but blame all our taxes that we have when we buy a product.
It may not be the same for you, though. In fact, it's probably not. I always get surprised every time I see a cheap product elsewhere which breaks a bank where I live. It'll include the iPhone 4S, too, I'm sure. Regardless I'll be looking forward to getting it. Regards, Nic On Oct 6, 2011, at 12:04 PM, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: > so about 900€?
