Dear all, <br><br>2008 has been an exciting year for all Openmoko well wishers with the release of the Freerunner and the development of a vibrant, skilled and "independent minded" community ;-). On behalf of IDA Systems I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year and a prosperous 2009.<br>
<br>Due to favorably EURO-Rupee conversion, from 1st January we are reducing the price of the Freerunner for buyers in Asia (excluding India) and Australia. The new price is <b>EURO 299 inclusive of shipping by UPS</b>. Till stocks last this price includes the extra headphones and pouch. We are also providing an extra battery as a gift with this offer in January. (Please note that we will ship to Europe at the offer prices but we do not have the infrastruture to provide warranty support in these regions so you may be better of purchasing from a local distributor)<br>
<br> In India the price remains Rs 22000/- inclusive of VAT/CST and insured shipping by Bluedart (because of the taxes we pay while making a sale in the country) but we will be including an extra battery as a gift with all orders in January.<br>
<br>We will also be anouncing few more offers in the 2nd week of January for purchases by educational institutions.<br><br>Once again thank you all for your support and hope 2009 brings in lots of joy and happiness to you.<br>
