In France, 369 for the Optimus 2X unlocked at Bouygues, and 70€ paid back by LG.
That makes an Optimus 2X for 320€. Quite interesting if you're in the market for a new smartphone.

The sales person probably doesn't even know what a tegra2 is
Prices in Switzerland (Both 8GB):
Samsung Galaxy S I9000: 439 CHF
LG P990 Optimus 2X Speed: 556 CHF
SamsungGalaxy S II I9100: 679 CHF (16GB though)
Most probably because Samsung as a smartphone manufacturer and Galaxy S as a phone have better brand recognition than LG over there. LG is a new comer to high end smartphone arena.
Romania: SGS 400 euro
LG 490 euro
Not much of a difference....
Romania. Vodafone on contract. Sgs 219 lg 2x 239. Prices are in euros, incl vat.

Screen, screen, screen... SAMOLED is expensive stuff (and worth every penny) plus the difference in performance isn't overwhelming in any way. Do a smartbench 2011 (multicore friendly) test on your galaxy s and compare the gaming score with lg2x. The thing that bugs me is all game developers are kissing nvidia and apple ass like it tasted lemon sorbet. I guess money taste just as good...

Dude, u should really look for a new phone dealer. In Germany the SGS is at around 330 Euro (price dropping!) and the LG Optimus 2x (called Optimus Speed here) is at 440 Euro.

Btw, most of the time the reason that older mobiles are more expensive is just that the seller didn't updated the price. Often cheap old phones are just the remaining stock that the seller trys to get rid at.
All dealers offer practically same price. Prices are 20€ different in other dealers. We have 3 carriers: vip(vodafone), t-mobile and tele2

After 6 months the Atrix gets to Europe (maybe was already in UK) and is priced 15% above the SGS2. Do Moto predict healthy sales at this price point, I'm wondering?
Atrix: http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/Motorola-ATRIX.aspx#tab=SimFree
SGS II: http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II.aspx#tab=SimFree
Bottomline: The SGS II is more expensive. I'd blame whatever carrier you checked with
-- EDIT
Also in Spain, Atrix costs less than SGS II

Personally, I was interested in sim-free prices in Poland. Shame, would probably have bought this if it had been available a few months ago. Can't understand Moto's strategy.

I just sold my HTC One X (International) for $350 after tax, shipping, and insurance. How much did you sell your phone for in order to buy the Nexus 4 in a couple days.
I sold my 16GB T-Mobile Galaxy S III with a dented corner (dropped it) for $390 locally on craigslist. I figure that after tax and shipping costs, I should break about even for the Nexus 4 and I didn't want to deal with Ebay and all their fees.

Generous!
I'm going to sell my perfect and pristine (screen etc) white Gnex for about 250 Euro, I think. However, going to wait a little longer for some 'good news' we are all hoping for. I wonder, have there been rev.2 Gnexi, hardware wise?
Haven't yet as I need a phone while I wait for the Nexus! How could I possibly sell mine before getting a new phone and be left phoneless? No sir, would never happen voluntarily!
Anyhoo, after a couple of days to make sure there are no major problems with the Nexus, I intend to trade in my Galaxy S2 for £147 in my local CEX shop. I know I could get more for it on Amazon but there's no guarantee of a sale and it's far more convenient to just walk into the shop than faffing around with the postage and packaging etc.
So that effectively halves the price of the 16GB Nexus 4 which I intend to buy.
Roll on Nexus 4 release!!! :victory:
Motorola Atrix 2
Sold my Atrix 2 for 278 USD. Paid 326 USD on January.

now you might think that i'm a troll but please don't get me wrong. those of you who live in the first world countries can buy lg nexus 4 for 350 bucks right ? well, i can't , i don't live in the first world countries and my country doesn't have google play store so i have to pay twice than google play's price, which is $600 or so, and i hate it, i really want the nexus 4 for that price, but for $600 ? big no, it seems like LG is too afraid that nexus 4 price will canibalize optimus g or optimus vu, because optimus vu costs $570 unlocked,
why google why ? no italy no japan no singapore,
shame on you LG,

it's true. The Nexus 4 did canibalize the optimus g. It got the high specs of the optimus g, but google's longterm software support.
Hmm... I got mine for 350+ taxes(+-$400) cause I live in Central America
I can't buy Nexus 4 in Poland as well, but it's not a reason to rant them. Life can be unfair, we can't do anything.
Thread closed.
Is it going to be around $650 outright? I have a Nexus 4 which is on its way but might switch to the S4 if it's around $400
I doubt the SIV will be 400$
but hopefully less than 700 since that's my parents current budget lol
(or else I'll have to buy it when the price drops)
it's most likely going to be at the 650-700 range for outright,
maybe like 299 on contract.
I think everyone and their mother would buy one outright if it was $400. I'd be first in line. I would guess at least $700
Even the nexus 4 costs more than 400 outside the play store lol.

Buy it now sells 1 @ US $830-840 (16 - 64 GB) w/ free shipping.
Buy it now guy also selling 20 64 GB for $10,000 and many other deals.
Here's a new one buy it now from the UK, a 64 GB for US $752 or GBP 500: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ntageCostumeJewellery_CA&hash=item4d0a0e7d18c Note the picture though and the description says "Main Stone: Rhinestone", LOL.
I was sure any early ones would be at least $1k, but guess I was wrong. Maybe more in the $600-$800 range ?
The auctions were UK and buy it now is US. I've heard GT-I9500 (these) were selling in China already.
Is the GS4 already a relative flop, compared to expectations ? More of an incremental upgrade from the S3 ? S3 will get many software features. Is no LTE an issue on International version ?
BTW, I've bought about 20 phones in the last few years, for app testing, and most were from EBay. China or Hong Kong are usually well priced sources for most phones these days. I usually buy from a vendor that has better ratings 99+% and charges $10 more though.
WTF
where do you guys live expecting the GS4 to be 600 dollars outright?
Here in Australia, the GS3 was close to 800 outright, so I assume the GS4 will be around that same price...
Ayee, then again Australia always gets the short end of the stick,,
It'll be like $300/$350 with a contract and $600/$650 without most likely.
My guess.
rumoured to be 579 dollars for 16gb

That's too cheap. The s3 was around 650 euros when it came out so that's about +750. If that's the price it's gonna sell very well

Hello guys,
I am just wonding if G2 will have a price cut, now that the G3 is announced. Will this happen soon or when G3 is on the market next month?
I believe it will be a good deal to buy, since G3 is not so much of an upgrade
thanks

It might get a price cut, though not that soon, I believe. The goal is to keep the G2's price very close to the G3 so that new customers opt for the newer, only slightly more expensive G3.
UK G2 has been "cheap" for some time. Genuine SIM free versions for well below £300 from several proper retailers (not the hideous grey market stuff). A lot of phone for the money.

There is a red version of the G2 (16 GB) on mobileshop.eu for 351 euros.
The LG g3 is a lot more expensive here in Denmark than the G2 is. There's a difference of almost 300-350 dollars.
