- Cider9986 2mo agoI disagree, it's cool to promote good projects like GrapheneOS that help people. Have you seen how many articles recommend not secure and not private alternative phones, that's not cool. Edit: damn some of their phones with it preloaded are like 4x the price your can get for pixels in the state's. Can't speak to Australian prices for regular pixels tho.
- bigiain 2mo agoThe cheapest option, Pixel 10, costs $1349 from Google, they want $1990 (in Australian Dollars, that's about $940 and $1390 in USD) So not quite a 50% markup on the bard phone, not quite as bad as 4x. And while I'd feel like a jerk if I asked for money helping someone at risk of DV setting this up, if I was doing it as a business with the mandatory warranty and support this'd need to include in Australia, I think that's expensive but probably fair?
- Cider9986 2mo agoYeah fair enough. I see 400-500 USD new 10s on eBay so that's where I was coming from. I wonder how much shipping and importing from the US would be. Interesting they don't sell the 10a, seems like a great budget phone from what I've seen. Edit: I didn't consider taxes and initially I assumed exchange rates were more similar then they are. Law in my profile heh (not on purpose)
