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)?

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

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.
