Interesting and given "The price of €359 inside Europe or €309 outside (plus any import taxes)" I'm thinking by Europe they mean the EU, hence price in Euros.

Also https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gigaset-GS290-Review-Good-smartphone-with-small-weaknesses.448147.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Gigaset-GS290-Review-Good-smar... Has a price of 269 Euro - first URL saw and didn't hunt for cheapest I also looked at specs...and agree it does look like the Gigaset GS290, and yes it 50 euros more - only if you live outside the EU/Europe! Otherwise if you live inside EUrope, its 100 euros more. For a phone that they say will be made in EUrope. So it does somewhat feel like you are better off buying a phone that has good alternative OS support (like an older Samsung or other popular model of yesteryear) and a case of your choice and ending up with something cheaper and better. Also this free VPN, it's a 3rd party. Well Willyfox released a phone and promised advert free truecaller for life - I can attest that was a lie. So be mindful of such 3rd party services they offer as you have no guarantee with that. Also of most importance: "DISCLAIMER: Please note that the device is only CE certified and importation into countries outside the EU and EFTA states may be refused by customs." So they will sell you a phone that you legally may not be able to use and possibly be blocked by customs and in that situation - I suspect they will just point to that disclaimer and say told you so without any way to resolve you outlay. THAT is something to be most mindful of.
