Is VAT included in this price?

[edit]
I'm sorry, that ^ was not negative... Just did not check before...

So only...:

Hmm in Norway it has gone up to $699, from the original $649

I guess since we are outside the EU we use dollars, but it's odd the price increase is much less than in the EU

Still worth it for a specialised device (assuming quality of course)

I think trade war between USA and China affects less to other countries, than Brexit in EU.

Of course!!!

[edit]
In my opinion, Finland should attack to Norway armed and after cross the border, surrender immediately.

Do you know how much it will be after customs in Norway? Any way to reclaim British VAT if we have to pay double?

I think it should be €649, unless there is an error with the website. Let me check with the team and get back. This doesn't look correct to me.

Update: Confirmed this is an error and shall be fixed shortly...

You obviously weren't around for the N900 pre-order...

Nokia USA canceling pre-orders?
Nokia.com N900 orders/Pre-orders
shop.nokia.co.uk cancelled my order - UK
Nokia's old and new order systems, and "cancelled" orders

I, as well as many others, found it nearly impossible to order due to fraud nonsense. Then when we finally did get an order in, it was randomly cancelled. Nobody had a clue what was going on, including Nokia.

The Pro¹ ordering seems to be going very well by comparison.

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure they'll refund anyone who paid too much because of this mistake.

My bank blocked aliexpress and needed a phone call before the first time I could buy there, but not fxtec. Credit card companies are overly cautious about anything not a big established business outside of the country where the card is from, this isn't fxtecs fault and probably also only affects a minority of customers most of which can fix it with a phone call. Selling via another platform would probably add to the cost and is not a sensible thing to do for pre-orders, I do hope they will manage to have big online retailers sell in the future as that'd help their success

On the subject of third parties selling Pro1's, I spotted this some time ago, no idea if it's legit: https://www.clove.co.uk/products/fxtec-pro1

Business users (in EU) should buy without VAT with their VAT-id. Now it isn't possible.

It’s a legit Partner/Reseller, It was confirmed by Chen during my meeting with the team in June.

I was asking if it’s better to order from them, since sometimes there are issues with shipping Radio transmitting devices to Israel, and I’ve already bought few phones from Clove in a past.
