Black SP3000 ordered, the extra leather case is too $ for me though.
Yep A&K always charges stupid money for a black or an attractive color case. I am glad they throw one in for protection but the color is never my favorite, I think to entice the additional purchase. When I ordered mine yesterday, I didn't even look at them. Miter will more than likely put out a cheaper case soon.

I have ordered the black and hopefully will get first week in October here in the UK.
A little disappointed the internal memory is only 256gb rather than 512gb.
I note that unlike the SP2000 it has file drop but wondering is this MAC compatible or am i still stuck with Android file transfer for the internal memory.

It is an olive green case.

Still need to use Android File Transfer or another program like Commander One Pro until Apple decides to include native driver support for Android devices in MacOS.

No, in US it is $3,699 + tax, which varies by what state and even city you are in. For example if you purchased in New York City with a high sales tax rate, you would pay $4,027 after tax.

USA price does NOT include tax. That’s another $300 depending on the state you live.

Considering currency instability at the moment, $4.5k EU is a fair price. It’s only recently that $ to € is 1:1.
