Thanks. That's about $22 off (or a little bit less than 5% off) what I have been seeing normally ($529.99).

Here in Germany the best price I can find is EUR 520 (USD 710).

Hmmm....

Has anyone ever looked into importing a N900 from the US to Germany?

Apart from the obvious differences (keyboard layout, charger) are there any other issues you could run into (warranty, VAT, import duties etc)?

I hear the US version is only available in glorious red, white and blue and that the ringtone defaults in the sound of an American bald eagle squawk-choking at the sight of the US deficit spending. If you don't mind walking around with that, I think it can be shipped off to Germany. :D

(Truthfully, I can't imagine there's much difference aside from those details that you mentioned.. and the WIFI channel ranges maybe)

It's just that I don't understand what the process would entail.

You could end up paying german VAT on top, a lot more for delivery and may have to deal with someone an ocean away in case of problems...

Maybe not worth the trouble, but then maybe it is...

I just sprang for it. Expected delivery date - Feb. 12. I'll be in for a fun weekend, even if I don't have a cell phone plan at the moment.

I'll be curious to hear your observations on any obvious differences you run into.

:( I keep seeing these deals, and keep getting disappointed as I want to use my Dell Preferred Account and Dell in it's infinite wisdom will not let you use said accounts on the Small Business site....aaarghhh :(

Have the cash, but can't quite pull the trigger as TMobile's coverage is "Edge Data Roaming" for miles around central IA :o

:eek: Someone please convince me not to compromise and get an Nexus 1 or Droid....(Verizon) :eek:

The n900 has a WiFi radio, so you can always use that for web surfing at home. When you're away, just use the device for email and messaging.

I am currently in a fiasco with newegg and my bank, trying to get them to let me pay for an N900. If that goes on for much longer, I will order from Dell.

Well, after tax and free shipping, ts comes out to ~$525 for me, which is dangerously close to Newegg's $530 with free shipping (although Newegg's price went up to $550 today :0 )

Is the Newegg price including tax?

Good question.

It depends on where you live. Newegg doesn't charge for shipping to my state. To the best of my knowledge, a retailer is required to charge tax when shipping a product to any state in which they have any presence in.
