Guest PaulF Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've been watching Mobiles.co.uk for a few weeks, mainly on Touch HD / Omnia / Xperia. I've been watch the Xperia at £50 on a £35pm Orange renewal, and thinking I'll leave it a couple of weeks, it might go down a bit.... Last week it was up to £60, and now it's up to £90!! Looks like the Touch and Omnia are up as well... Is it due to this: http://www.which.co.uk/news/2008/12/high-s...ease-165007.jsp Anyone have any ideas??

The EU tax from the article is 14% for phones with a TV receiver and 3.7% for navigation enabled phones. The Xperia doesn't have built in TV so we would be talking a 3.7% price rise due to the tax, not a 50% increase. The price rise is probably more likely due to either the weak pound catching up on imports, or Orange being greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
