oh, so they've meant the shipping price increase, not the phone itself??? doubt I didn't mention the shipping cost because it varies depending on country, delivery times and so on. I don't think that delivery cost would exceed $100 in the worst possible case. all I care is the phone price itself. I see no reason to keep retail price untold, apart of not yet knowing/calculated it by now. it would be polite to tell retail price to reduce negative feedback. but as far as Chen keeps silent here, I guess he's satisfied with feedback. obviously, preorder customers can't be offended with way too small discount so I guess retail price will be at least $100 more expensive than currently known.
