I saw an ad in l’Express yesterday (P.73) showing the Palm Pre, Treo Pro and Centro that will be available soon in Mauritius. This is great to see more mobile players coming here. Recently, MauriSystems released the Google phone (HTC Hero) for Rs19,900. A bit expensive for an open source OS. But that is nothing compared to the HTC Snap which is being offered at the same exaggerated price. If you are wondering what’s my point here, well it’s quite simple: The HTC Snap runs Windows Mobile Standard, a non-touchscreen device. Those devices generally cost much less than touchscreen phones for obvious reasons. Glad I can get it for a good price on Amazon or Expansys. Add shipping and taxes, you’re well behind the Rs19900 + VAT asked by MauriSystems.
Enough of the rant. Palm’s reseller does not have a website yet(neither does MauriSystems.), hopefully we’ll get to learn more about prices and store location soon.
