Reliable vendor for n900 (US based)?
 

My n900 recently bit the dust (fell out of my pocket, was later found being used as a chew toy by our beagle). When I searched Google, all I could find are vendors I haven't heard of, and the prices are higher than what I originally paid.

I ended up ordering through an Amazon marketplace vendor, but there have been some delays -- looks like the phone is coming from Hong Kong. Would there be any hardware differences in this version (assuming they don't ship me a US version), or are any differences fixed via a firmware flash?

Thanks.
