It's been said in the thread already, but the reason really is included vat + included 1 or 2 year warranty.

last time I checked on a mac book, once it was factored in, there was less than a 5% dofference between US and EU.

Get ready for lower prices! Google is making a 'Java' phone with Motorola and since they own Motorola they'll definitely subsidize the price knowing it will pay off with sales in the Google Playstore or whatever it's called.

J&R sells phones unlocked/unsubsidized. There are probably other retailers in the city that specialize in mobile phones and have better selection (though I can't think of any offhand). But a large retailer like J&R or B&H have good breadth of general electronics offerings.

Do not go to Worst Buy...

Why are these stores in US named like "X&Y" ?
How do you tell them apart?

Most of the computer stuff is manufactured in US thats why it is inexpensive. When it goes out for sale in foreign countries, all those duties, custom is added to the price.

I doubt most phones are assembled in US.
