Fast forward to today......this cell is now down to 199 USD from the 299 USD from when it was available to purchase. So quick in such a large price drop in 3 months ? ..........Makes 1 wonder why ? I just checked it on Blu's site and Amazon. Amazon has it also for 199 USD and it has poor overal ratings. Most of the buyers comment on its poor performance and advise future buyers to avoid it which would explain the price drop rom poor sales.
