Lumia 730 Price

[Randym7]

Does anyone know or has an idea of what the 730's price will be. Just throw them out there please.

Well based in Australia I would say around the $400-$450 for us
But assuming Americans it will be around $300-$350

too high of price range for something that has only 8 gb internal storage

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Avant for my daughter. It's a brand new Android phone that was just released. It has a quad core cpu, 1.5 ram, 16gb memory, sdcard slot, front cam, 5mp rear cam with flash, and 4.5 screen. It was 199. I suspect the 730 would compete with a similar phone. I bet it will be no more then $250.

Dual sim version 'MUST' be less than 270 Australian dollars, on line. Otherwise it will disappear like the 720 due to lack of interest.!

Moto g with only 8 gb and no expandable memory cost that much when launched. Lol

The L730 will probably be in the $200-250 range (off-contract). It is, after all, Microsoft's best shot at taking on the Moto G with casual and first-time smartphone buyers.

I am only interested in dual sim cause I work Can-US as a driver..that would avoid me of carrying 2 phones...Actually all phones should have 2 sim card slot. No more of carrying 2 phones

And that dual sim should also be in high-end phone

In USD the MSRP is rumoured to be $240.

Lumia 720 initially had a cost of 350€ (europe). I don't think we will have 730 for less

Lumia 530 is launched at a cheaper price as compared to 520. So I think 730 would be definitely less than ?215 according to a recent price leak, would be around $250 i.e ₹15000-17000

That would make it more expensive than the 925...

 

[Hoekie]

The initial price of a Lumia 925 was about 450-500 (Europe) So that would make a 730 cheaper. I also think the initial price will be 350 euro. Sounds great to me.

What? In the US the Moto G 8gb cost $179, 16gb cost $199, and the 8gb LTE variant (with SD card slot) at $229.

I don't know what you're possibly talking about.

I don't know what he was talking about either. The old Moto G launched at the same price points as the current, I believe, and have gone down since. 730 at $300+ is a non-starter - that won't ship mass units. It has to be on par or undercut similar Android devices to have a chance at selling well. $200-250 730 and you've got my money. If not, going for either the Moto G 4G/LTE or the new version they show off later this week.

Ok so 350 euros a 730, 480 euros for the 930...... Where do you price the 830 then? Knowing moreover that the 630/635 is 139 euros.

 

[DoctorSaline]

Optimistically, I'd say between $200-$250. But realistically speaking, keeping in mind Nokia/Microsoft Mobile's track record, I'd say somewhere between $250-$300.

Price was the problem so far for windows phone.
In indonesia for example ,who would get lumia 630 ( no front cam) for $200 if you can get xiaomi redmi 1s for $150 or moto g for $180

I think Microsoft will hype the retail price to $400 and then heavy discount it after a month or two by $100-$150 to make it look like you getting a bargain. That is what then been doing with the 520 and 630 models. I just going to wait it out till they discount is at the bottom maybe at $225!

I like WP8 OS but hate the exclusivity and limits on compatibility. I with T-Mobile and not really keen on buying another "white" color only phone. LOL!

No way it will be $400, they need a phone to compete with the updated Moto G and other new mid range Android phones which are around $200-250. I just picked up a newly released Samsung Galaxy Avant which is has Kit Kat, quad core, 1.5 GB ram, 16gb storage, 5mp rear camera with flash, sdcard slot, qHD display and front camera for $199. I suspect the 730 may be no more then $250. If not they are making a huge mistake. I also think the 730 will be qHD and the 830 will be 720p. My prediction is the 730 will be $249 and the 830 will be $349.
