edevices - experience ? prices ?

Hi All,

Do to tight time pressures, we are looking at using the nifty edBox-302 devices from edevice.com for our initial prototype.

It is external RS-232 port connected GPRS modem with onboard UDP/TCP/FTP etc stacks, just right for a quick and dirty prototype hack.

The problem is we were quoted locally here in South-east Asia, for the edBox-302 unit as well as their dev kit, prices which are about four to five times the cost of a normal GSM/GPRS modem. This sounds extremely out of proportion but we were told that edevice has fixed the price this way. We don't want to take it up with edevice just yet and are looking to this group's experience and knowledge in the matter.

Question: Does anybody have experience with these thingys ?

More importantly, what kind of prices for sample units as well as dev kits, for the edBox-302 or similar, are being offered ?

We are wondering whether the proverbial knife is being held to our throats .

Thanks in advance. Oh, and if you do not want to post any sensitive replies to this news group in this case (we hope you do), sent private email.
