NEVER ship international with UPS. You end up getting hosed with 'brokerage fees'. They provide their own customs brokers and charge you out the *pick an orifice... you know which one...*. A coworker bought some guitar equipment for a deal from a US company and paid more than he would've CDN. They also held his package hostage until he agreed to pay the fee.
I believe, though I'm not sure, that expansys.ca (like TigerDirect) is a reseller and therefore leverages a hefty increase. With the way the dollar is, don't pay more than $479.
*Edit: Nokia manufactures these things, anyone know someone that can be contacted (ie sales/marketing)? It's not a region specific device like their cell phones, they ARE selling the N800 on nokia.ca... Is it too much to ask that they take our money for a product *they* produce?
*Edit #2: I sent an email to customer service at nokia.ca - - I'll post the useless form reply when I get it.
*Edit #3: CDN $504.95 on expansys.ca (not a HUGE markup, but still.)
