New?
iPhone 4 is 23-25K unsubsidized. Or about 40-50K total cost of ownership for a 2 year plan.
Androids are typically around 15-22K unsubsidized.
Unlimited data plans are about 699-899 per month plus voice.
Thanks for quick response. Gives me an idea bout costs. Here iphones 4g and android and blackberry can be free with two year contract (but those costs bout 80 bucks a month).
Or like me , android 3g with metropcs for 99 bucks and no contract. My data unlimited is only 7 bucks more then my regular unlimited plan of 53 bucks so total 60 / month.
What about blackberry? Not pop on the wan?
Blackberry is for all intents and purposes dead or well on its way to dead. There is nearly zero developer mineshare there.
The “free” claims are not exactly that. Work out total cost of ownership versus buying the phone straight up and getting a plan to work out what the actual price of that “free” phone is.

Lady friend of mine in indonesia wants a blackberry. They are about 400 dollars there now for a storm 2 she tells me. Iphone is bout 800 to 900 dollars . Both with no contracts.
Blackberry is very very dominant in indo. iphone and android havnt made much headway there.
blackberry is still very strong and expensive here in the states too. NO real deals out there.
I guess it remains pop because of the physical keyboard. And in a way thats correct because in find it hard to type in my android without the physical keyboard.
But do they sell blackberry in taiwan still? how much are they ? Storm 2? Blackberry has the Torch now thats sort of part android.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Blackberry in Taiwan. I was told the Taiwanese are not big on physical keyboards because they’re not convenient for typing Chinese.
really? wow thats a revelation? They are big in the states, and iv just found out the storm 2 is actually without a physical keyboard. And its got a good following.
Blackberries are now available both on Taiwan Mobile and Chung hwa Telecom. As far as pricing goes, they aren’t all that cheap either. BIS is pretty overpriced in Taiwan compared to other data plans. It is NT$950 or so for the unlimited plan at both carriers and rarely discounted vs. NT$850 or less for your ordinary unlimited data plans which does get pretty heavily discounted across all carriers.
