That price differential isn't due in part to a different cell network standard? It's all esperanto to me, I don't have a cellphone.
no, we use the same network standard as you do..
but the problem is in europe most thing are expensive because the count 1USD = 1 Euro (approx 25% more)
+ my country has stupid vat 21% + extra 1,5-5%
we don not use CDMA standard tham much but it doesn't matter.
