Expansys - Price differences are huge?

[Guest Alex_le_brit]

I was just looking at the Expansys sites for the UK and France (being an expat) and stumbled on the UBIQUIO 401 (yeah I know quality issues but it'd do me).

SIM unlocked and with Windows Mobile 5 in English:

UK price DHLed to me (from the UK) including VAT is £238

French Price DHLed to me (from the UK) including VAT is £338

How can the difference be justified? The French site even apologises for the longer delivery time as the phone has to come from the UK.

Very odd.
