Re: [82attendees] Toys/Electronics Market Search

[Gyubong Oh <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

I am planning to buy new 3G mobile phone in Guanghua Digital Plaza tonight.

One question, 

Is there anybody from US, Europe and other country to have bought new mobile phone 3G in Taiwan?

I am not sure whether Taiwan Mobile phone is SIM-free and unlocked for worldwide activation? 

Thanks,
GB

AFAIK, the proposed price is pretty close to what you are supposed to pay - this is not the Beijing pricing. ;)

Yet, as an example, one camera we were looking at cost 11400 in one shop and another offered it for 10800. It was also being sold as used in another store for 9000. Price in Finland would have been around 12000, so not a major deal considering you loose the warranty.
