Worked for me with my N810!
Just joking of course. It should work since it's a quad bend mobile phone. At least on the GSM networks. Not too sure about the UMTS though, but I guess it should as well.

If you order item directly from on-line shop, they are obliged to package items in such way that officers will knew what is inside and you will be billed almost automatically.
You can get around it: ask family, acquitances to buy it and send you in normally wrapped package (or just bring it with them if they are visiting your area).
Such packages are inspected at random and you have chance that you will not pay additionally. Note however that you should earmark those money because chance for inspection is always.
With smaller difference in price with N900 than with N8x0 + lost guarantee + not so weak USD I don't think game is worth it this time.

If the seller sends via usps it's more likely than the package will slip through customs, if they use a courier it's assured you'll to pay customs fees and VAT, because otherwise they (upd/dhl) wouldn't get to bill you their extortionate fees.

hmm, I have a friend in USA, maybe I can get her to help me in case... ^^
so it would be ~420 € instead of the ~570 € from UK... but no warranty (unless I get help again from that friend and pay shipping costs.. :P), and possibility for extra taxes...
but as hardware/functionality, everything should be fine. okay, thanks.
