It was about two years ago when Airis, completely unknown until then in our country, has entered the local navigation PDA market with the T600 series. The key to their success has evidently been pricing, as although T620 wasn’t very advanced, it was made of low-quality materials and it even looked really ugly, it was cheap so it sold like hot cakes – as it worked perfectly with a hacked iGO, thus being the ideal, budget-friendly solution.
The successful series has been continued last April – exactly a year ago – with T482, which abandoned everything that made the predecessor so successful. The device still wasn’t a feature-filled one, it had a bit better design, but it has been as far from winning a design award as Motorola DynaTac is from 3G, but it still had a too high price. The problem was that it wasn’t any better than the end-of-sales models from other manufacturer – somehow its price hasn’t been tailored to these, but to a couple of years old rate. And now here’s T483 and if we take a look at it and its price-tag we can say for sure that the manufacturer still didn’t discover how does the market work…
The handset has been provided by SpeedShop, all the thanks to them. The mid-sized, white box had the handset, a network charger, a data cable and a stereo headset inside. This is far from enough for 340 euros, I’d even say it’s ridiculous. Have you taken a look at PDA price lists recently? Let’s see a couple of them for comparison, with no additional comments: HTC Touch 3G - 320 euros, E-TEN X650 - 300 euros, LG KS20 - 200 euros, Asus P320 - 240 euros, Asus P552W - 300 euros, Asus P750 - 340 euros. And it goes on and on…
