Unfortunately they are selling it for £239 in the UK, which is more like $380 - Still an absolute steal for a headline retail price, but not quite the incredible £185 I thought it would be initially.
So for now, having paid only slightly more for my sim-free S3 months ago, it's not that good a deal.
Still patiently waiting for a nexus with a hardware keyboard like the good old days...
That's actually a lot better than the deal the UK got on the ARM Chromebook released last week, which was priced at $249 in the USA and £229 in the UK.
After taking 20% VAT into consideration, that's only a x1.07 premium compared to the US price as compared to a x1.23 premium on the Chromebook, which is actually unusually good. Often we see dollars converted directly to pounds.
Strange that the conversion is not consistent - can anybody speculate why?
