Save at Least P10,000 on the HTC Touch Diamond

Costing P41,000 in the Philippines, the HTC Touch Diamond is easily the most expensive PDA Phone we’ve encountered. Apparently though, some peeps in the Middle East have it better.
Apparently, the Touch Diamond costs “only” around P30,000 in Abu Dhabi, which is in the United Arab Emirates. We really don’t know why that is, but we are speculating that retail stores over there are taxed less/apply less markups on their gadgets. It is our understanding that the Touch Diamond will be distributed in the Philippines by the local arm of SiSPH Technologies Inc.
In any case, if you’re really really really interested in the HTC Touch Diamond, and have a relative returning from Abu Dhabi, tell them to take advantage of the low prices over there. Thanks to reader Angge for the tip.

Yes it is cheaper in dubai costing only around Php 30,000.00. but, when I tried to check it in singapore It costs the same considering that in singapore all goods and services have higher taxes and when brought here, you can refund your tax from it. Less 7% of the price and that’s cool!!!!!!!!
