i personally feel http://www.mobilenxt.com is one of the clean and neat sites i have come across after a long time.

moreover the web2.0 & community aspect is the ‘rate your phone’ feature they have… i feel it could be pretty handy research tool for the mobile phone prospective buyer; in atleast gathering information & feedback directly from the users on the handsets rather than going with the word of the manufacturer or the sales man.

The UI is good; it all depends on how they continue to innovate & how well they are able to manage the backend & deliveries.

Though i agree to your point Shayon, that their search functionality needs to improve.

There are sellers on eBay charging 12.5% VAT (against 4%, that too for grey market goods) and cheating the buyers.

Online shopping has a long way to go, if consumers are looking for genuine and original goods.

There is nothing called “actual MRP”, MRP is Maximum retail prices which is printed on box and in this case Nokia has provided that, but nobody sells the phone at “MRP”.

Consumers are smart enough to know the difference between MRP and actual selling price. (Hope so)

My intention was not to correct you but to emphasise on point that the actual price comparison should happen between sites based on Price+Tax+Shipping.(Shipping and tax are usually shown at checkout)

Thanks

Yes, I accpet my mistake. MobileNXT is actually offering the mobile at a cheaper rate. What I actually tried to convey is not the price that they are selling it for but rather the MRP that they post and actually making the consumer believe that they are getting a much better bargain in MobileNXT.com whereas the actual MRP is much lesser than what they advertise. I hope I could put my point through.
