Does anyone know whether you get charged duty by NZ Customs when you order a phone from overseas via post?
I purchased the N97 off Amazon from the US when I was there 4 months ago. Well... I am now after the N900 (say no more)
N97 works here fine, but signal strength on Vodafone is probably the worst of any Nokia phone in my house.
I have pre-ordered the N900 off Amazon - and have 8 days for it to be delivered to my in-laws so they can bring it with them when they visit. I don't think it is going to happen
Even though I have selected a US address for delivery - it allows me to change to NZ. I haven't tried this yet but it seems to be allowed.
By the way - I have had my N97 camera scratch/GPS issue fixed at Nokia Care Christchurch under an international warranty....
They said they can do anything that isn't related to the software/hardware specific to the US so long as you have a genuine product.
As there are no plans to release the N900 here - I wonder whether they would help out in the same manner??
