What's the usual full price? Can't seem to find it for sale anywhere else.

$499 at HN usually is RRP. This is a good price.

Coo thanks, thinking of upgrading from the 520 so this could be a good deal. Wonder how it compares to the 640 that's coming soon and sounds like it should be a similar price.

735 form factor is nicer. Feels premium and also has Qi wireless charging

Cool. Will possibly get this then. Was thinking of holding off to see what the 640 is like but this looks a better spec for a similar price. $500 is way beyond my budget for a phone but $297 for a good one is very tempting.

Almost tempted to buy one at the price as a second phone to try out Windows 10 when it arrives ....

Sorry the sale has ended. They are now $298.

(lol @ harvey norman "sales" - EDIT: Note I still think this is a very sharp price for what looks like an excellent phone. Just laughing at the fact that up to yesterday the page had "Sale must end Monday 13 april!" in big red letters but it only resulted in a $1 rise in the price)

Haha. The amount I debated this in my head over the weekend (when I thought the full price was $499) and finally bought it online about 10pm last night, that's kind of annoying. Even at $297 (or $292 once I registered an email address on their website and got a $5 voucher) it's still more than I've ever spent on a phone and actually the first smartphone I've bought (since I won the 520 from a Vodafone competition and it was my first smartphone). My 520 has been playing up lately so I've been planning to upgrade. Was thinking of waiting for the 640 but this looked a better spec at about the same price so think it's a good deal.

Will do. Haven't got it yet as I ordered online, so will just have to go and collect it when I get a chance this week. Will post some quick thoughts once I use it.

Please do, I'm still heavily debating whether to get this for my better half to replace her 625. I'd love to hear what others think about the 640 vs 735 - both look really nice, but it seems they compromise a little in different areas.

I have had the 735 as my work phone since xmas. Loved it up to the point where I foolishly updated it windows 10! definitely not ready for real world use!

That said it is a great phone, very durable, good call quality and pretty quick.

Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phones, we mentioned this is a Technical Preview, its not even beta, and to not put it on your primary/only phone :)

Luckily its easy enough to roll back to WP8.1
