Its 299 (granted € not $) in Germany too, thats more expensive than in the US but still cheap for a phone like that!

Cool phone, LTE is a non issue for me since its not widely available here anyway and with the tiny amount of data your get here (i have 300Megs included in my contract after which it gets slowed down to dialup speeds) its kinda useless.

The US price does not include sales taxe (19% in Germany). If you take this into account is's still more expensive in Germany but less than 10%.

The odd thing is the Shenzhen Foxcon factory is closer to Berlin than San Francisco. Somehow, even excluding taxes, it's still more expensive in Germany.

And a difference of 7% is substantial for a product with no margins.
