Yeah I saw the price for $500 and was hoping it's an error.

Hm, still expensive, and you must consider that at least in Germany you can't get it for that price. You will have to sign a very expensive contract at the same time, I think its around 1200 € for the 2 years, at least. You may still unlock the phone after that, but what for? You still have to pay. In America of course it is a bit different, as you can buy without signing the phone contract.

$500? I would very much like to know where you can buy an iPhone for that much: I'll buy it straight away. Where?

£250/$500 is Crazy money for the T32 in my opinion - although im pretty sure u'll be able to pick it up for about £200/$400 (which is still pretty expensive)

What im thinking of doing is.....

Waiting for the T32 to get a public release.....

Hopefully when this happens the price of the HiPhone will drop a little ( as the price of the P168 did when the P168+ was released - there are several other comparisons i could mention)

then i'm gonna pick up the HiPhone for a good price to keep me going till the M8 comes out....
....because i badly need a good phone plus i wanna get used to all this new-fangled touch screen stuff

Regards

Russ

hmm, I spose it depends how much money you have, personally i'm just gonna wiat till cebit for the M8 to show and hopefully we will get more info on a release. From the videos I've have watched the UI on the hiphone looks badly implemented and slow IMO and is very clone like, although saying that looks better than all other clones to date. The T32 is more promising with WinMo6 and touch flo but again no wifi or decent screen res when your paying that much is definitely not worth it IMO, also considering the fact it is a clone and the build quality is probably not that great. Think of all the other smartphones you could get for that price as well!
