SE Phone Depreciation Rate - Page 2

That's one of the reason why I bought K750i when it was still ridiculously expensive, because I knew the depreciation rate is very slow, no point waiting when I can enjoy it earlier, and I've never regretted making that decision.

If I were to get one today, I probably wouldn't consider it anymore.

haha... just came back from subang and saw the w900i t/choice - RM2799.... kinda like trying to rip off and then i asked my sis why is it so expensive and she said "you haven't show them you have an interest in buying it. if not ,they will start revealing to you the *real* price and make it seem like you're getting a bigass discount". Zat true?

That depends where...

I don't think W900i is worth buying at the moment...

LOL. Another one of these dilemmas. XD

If you've got the cash, just get it.
If you're gonna wait and wait for a price drop, then you will be drooling at another better phone.
Take note. If you don't buy yet, you don't get to enjoy yet.
Go figure.
