699€ ! So if I get this right, Europe is not the first launch market and yet the price is inflated 30% since the launch in december in China... The 4gb / 64 gb was priced at 530 euros:

I think Huawei made a mistake and switched the prices between Europe and China.

European retailers have to add VAT and various import taxes. EU regulations, you know... just compare prices on Amazon.com vs Amazon.co.uk and you'll get the idea.
