      Are there any cheaper/higher spec phones that are assembled in the USA? Most of the price difference when compared to their models that are assembled in China are simply due to the the different operating costs between the countries.

          I’m not from the US either, but Purism sells a version that is made in China for a fraction of the price so I’d say that this version of the phone is specifically for people who want a phone assembled over in the states.

            But Chinese version is not that cheap, it’s the half maybe but not less than that. And a 1000 dollars doesn’t look fair for 4GB phone. I don’t know if I’m right if not but that’s my opinion.
