Mitac Mio 8390, Where to buy??

[Guest dmoney5]

I was wondering, Does anybody know where to buy the Mitac Mio 8390 online at a reasonable price. Ebay prices are highly inflated. I was looking to buy one on ebay if i dont find it cheaper anywhere else.

All of ebay's selers are selling the taiwan version of the phone, I have heard some reports that it doesnt support english T9. If it the same microsoft based phone, I dont see why it should have english T9. Or is there a way to flash it to support english T9. Any help would be great, Thanks

Since the taiwan version of 8390 is targetted at their own domestic market, it's not strange not to include english T9 but their own chinese input instead. Mabbe tats the complain their own domestic market has when they 1st release mio 8380, which is actually english OS( with english T9 ) but chinese support via the supplied mmc card.

Is it possible to install english T9 support for the 8390?
