have made a search, maybe not good enough, but couldn´t find any answers to my questions...
i reside in norway, and in the near future i´m making two trips, first to usa, then to china.
want to take advantage of the cheaper prices at these to locations.. want to buy a cool phone or/and ipod/mac/psp.
my questions is:
1-whats generally cheaper, usa og china?
2-are there any compatability issues that can´t be fixed through chipping, or a software update?
thanks in advance!

China should be cheaper. But beware of cheap duplicate stuff when you buy things from there!

U have to get the locals to bring you if u want to buy electrical goods in china. Electrical goods in china are very cheap. I used to ask my brother to buy for me things like high quality dvds movies (RMB10), portable dvd player, karaoke player stuffed with more than 20,000 songs in it (about US$280).

China will be cheaper than USA...
Get DVD/VCD/Fridge... and those big appliances/gadget in China... they are cheap and yes you have to be careful of fake stuff.
Small gadget wise... like phone/CD/MD/MP3 player/blue tooth headset... are you going to stop by Hong Kong? Get them here, it is cheaper than China. But we do not have the V800 though.

ok. great. thanks for helpful advice concerning the price issue..
but what about the compatability issue? as i said, i live in norway. are there many triband phones for sale in china at the moment? will they work equally well in europe as in asia?
Playstation poratable won´t work in the same way here in europe, right?
how much do the ipod 60gb cost in china? (if there are any chinese people in this forum)

Hmmm...I don't know about compatability of the stuff, but an ipod wont be cheaper in china. Maybe if you get a china made equivalent of the ipod, it will be cheaper.
