Yet again (as always) we get ripped off with higher prices.

Amazon US offer for $582.99
The cheapest in UK is play.com which once you account for exchange rate is $800.
Ridiculous UK 37% more expensive than the US.

Does anyone know if the US model is compatible with the UK model? Might be worth seeing if any friends are going to the US on holiday!

It's 888.78 U$D in Poland... So thinking also about buying in the US.
There's a thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31587) on this topic, but there is no straight answer... From the words of texaslabrat and kenny I think the answer is 'yes' or 'yes with a reflash'.

Once again;
The ONLY difference in world regional models of the N900 is the keyboard characters.
.
The radio frequencies are GSM quad-band so voice and 2G data works everywhere.
The 3G frequencies are 900, 1700, and 2100mhz. Poland and GB both use 2100.
.
Spend some time, do some "searches" on this forum....answer your own questions.

Hmm..I previously pre-ordered from Nokia USA but could save $130 if I order from Amazon. is there any benefit ordering from Nokia USA over Amazon? I got the extended warranty from Nokia...is this worth the extra $130?

yeah, after replying I realized the cost of the headset plus the extended warranty makes the two prices comparable

Buy with Amex Gold and double mfg warranty at no charge to you.. the cost of BT headset is really $40 (after 35%)..

I would rather get the phone from amazon for $582 and buy a much better bluetooth headset from another manufacturer, like Jabra, or Aliph jawbone. I would be paying about the same, maybe less, but at an advantage of a better quality and better looking BT headset.

Any ideas whether Amazon or Nokia will carry the device first?

I'm almost tempted to order from Nokia's website if they do in fact ship the device prior to any other distributors, just so I can have it with me as soon as possible. :)

Can somebody please tell me how much exactly someone should pay if he lives in WA and orders it from Amazon? Thank you very much in advance.
