Thanks. Oh.. no luck. :( My friend lives in WA.
Is it 20% of the price?

No, it will be under 10%...our sales tax structure here is much less than the VAT common in Europe.

Thanks again. But then, maybe i should consider preordering it via Nokia store? It's 649$ with taxes and a bluetooth handset. 590$ + ~10% is almost the same. I don't know what to do now...
Damn European prices. :(
Thanks to all for helping me.

The nokia store's (I assume we're both talking about the nokia-usa store) price is $649 PLUS applicable taxes..bringing the total to around $700. It seems to be a roughly break-even deal if you actually want the bluetooth headset, otherwise I'd suggest going the Amazon route.

I've ordered other electronics from Amazon and they do ship outside of USA..

Well, for anything electronic that i add to my cart it says it cannot ship to my address... I'm in Montreal, would there be a problem here?

If you select the n900, add to cart and try to checkout, does it complain when you select the address? :)

What I would like to know is: If I decide to cancel my Nokia pre-order and go with Amazon, how do I get an extended warranty or can I?
