Its sad to hear the cell phone network is really poor. Similar with DSL from what I understand too. I remember we used to lead the world in such things Think i'll stay in London for the time being...

We've never led the world in internet speed. Having only one bit of fibre leading out of the country kinda limits things.

this the answer from amazon us when i contact them,

Hello,

I checked out and see that you are trying to buy "Nokia N900 Unlocked Cell Phone/Mobile Computer with 3.5-Inch Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera, Maemo Browser, 32 GB--U.S. Version with Full Warranty" on our website and verified it can't be shipped to Brunei Darussalam. Warranty and legal restrictions limit the delivery destinations for some products..

i guess i've to find another site

Ahh what I mean is hopefully one of the people who sell in the US to Ebay will get wind of the Amazon price and sell it cheaper.

Does anyone know whether you get charged duty by NZ Customs when you order a phone from overseas via post?
I purchased the N97 off Amazon from the US when I was there 4 months ago. Well... I am now after the N900 (say no more)
N97 works here fine, but signal strength on Vodafone is probably the worst of any Nokia phone in my house.
I have pre-ordered the N900 off Amazon - and have 8 days for it to be delivered to my in-laws so they can bring it with them when they visit. I don't think it is going to happen

Even though I have selected a US address for delivery - it allows me to change to NZ. I haven't tried this yet but it seems to be allowed.
By the way - I have had my N97 camera scratch/GPS issue fixed at Nokia Care Christchurch under an international warranty....
They said they can do anything that isn't related to the software/hardware specific to the US so long as you have a genuine product.
As there are no plans to release the N900 here - I wonder whether they would help out in the same manner??
