= $617.97

I'd only pay $582.99 on the purchase now though, as Amazon doesn't collect Pennsylvania sales tax. When I pay my state income tax at the end of the year, there's an accompanying form upon which I can report all the online purchases I've made so I can calculate and pay sales tax on them.

Ahem.

you "CAN" report?! That would lead to quite full jails here in Germany :)

Oh, yes! The form is very nice, and right at the top, in firm black type, it prominently displays a reminder that you really must report every online purchase you've made and pay the corresponding taxes. The state can't and won't check into the accuracy of what, if anything, you write down, of course, but everyone fills it out fully and honestly because it's the law and the right thing to do.

Ahem.

Its not like the N900 sells for the direct USD converted amount across the seas as what it does in Euros in different markets.

No, but it makes for one helluva comparison. Relatively speaking, you're parting with a greater chunk of your working-life's effort to pay for the thing.

I don't pay any tax for my Amazon purchase...so $583 is the end-price to me ;)

Now also showing up on leading Swiss price comparison website: Cheapest price is about 475 EUR (seems too cheap), all others are slightly over 500 EUR. No availability noted anywhere.

I'm just reading this thread for the lulz. Glad I wasn't into pre-ordering this device when I had money. Even if, I never reply on release dates given by anyone since they are ALWAYS subject to change.

Keep going people. I am loving this. :D
