and from Google - 239 U.S. dollars = 259.078591 Australian dollars

An email to Nokia Australia confirmed to me that they would not honor the warranty if I imported the N810... damn!

Some websites have the N810 listed as coming to Australia in Q1 2008 but in their response, Nokia Aus just said to keep checking their website (where its not listed).

The local (AU$) price will be such a ripoff - as your calculations show - that I'm very tempted to import regardless and take the risk. Theoretically I could import 2 tablets for the price of 1 locally.
