That is odd that so many tech stores would close out there, though...

Yeah, it is pretty ironic. But I'm certain there is a least a crate of them around here somewhere. I just don't know where. Fry's did have some of the N800's but I don't know if they are carrying the 810 or not. I figured this was the best place to post to find someone who knew where the stash is here in the Valley. Until then I guess I'll just wait and play with OS2008

My closest CompUsa is ... out of state 3 1/2 hours.
Any Floridians out there who by chance know if the N810 is available at CompUSA there? I will be down for a few days and really want a first hand experience before I will consider an order.

I am shocked that we got them first here in S.A., before Austin...usually it's the other way around, it seems...
Glad you were able to take advantage...but why have it shipped? Just hop in your car and hightail it down IH-35, then you could be playing with it tonight!
I work in a restaurant at nite and can't take off, but oh boy! Tomorrow!
Lotsa installing to do

Is there really a zero-dollar limit for goods brought from the US to Canada, for customs? For goods imported through FedEx or UPS, ok, but isn't there a different (and much higher) limit when you physically cross the border yourself and stay over there for a day or more, something like that? That's pretty common for European countries at least.

Better than speculating. Had a moment to look it up:

What can I bring back with me?
When you return to Canada, duties and taxes are applicable on all purchases unless you qualify for a personal exemption. Personal exemptions allow you to bring goods of a certain value into the country without paying the regular duties. If you have been outside Canada for:
24 hours or more, you can bring in CAN$50 worth of goods free of duty and tax; If the goods you bring in are worth more than CAN$50 in total, you cannot claim this exemption. Instead you have to pay full applicable duties and taxes on all goods you bring in.
48 hours or more, you can bring in CAN$400 worth of goods free of duty and tax;
7 days or more, you can bring in CAN$750 worth of goods free of duty and tax.
Alcohol and Tobacco - Restrictions apply to the amount of alcohol and tobacco you can bring into Canada under your exemption. If you have been outside Canada for at least 48 hours and are of legal age, you can bring in these amounts of alcohol and tobacco products free of duty and tax as part of your personal exemption:
.../...
What if I'm away for only a few hours?
If you don't qualify for a personal exemption, you can still bring back any amount of goods - except for restricted items - as long as you are willing to pay the duties and any provincial and territorial assessments that may apply.
Keep all your receipts handy
CBSA officers may ask you to show receipts for the goods you've purchased while out of the country. They may also ask to see your hotel receipts to verify the length of your stay outside Canada. Keeping these items all together and readily accessible will help to avoid unnecessary delays.
Make a full declaration
If you are not sure what to declare when you arrive in Canada, declare all items first and then discuss them with the officer.

seem to be imploding in the San Francisco/San Jose area. I bought my N770 from them, and would happily buy an N810 from them, if only they were still a viable source. It's really too bad.
