You'll probably pay some sort of import duty I'd imagine, which could make it more expensive than buying locally (factor in shipping costs too) however with the dollar at an all time low that's probably unlikely!

It's only a matter of time (days rather than weeks) before the N810 becomes available in Europe. I'd wait a bit longer if I were you.
Thank you for your useful reply.

I'm aware of the keyboard issue. Since they don't have a Swiss keyboard layout anyway, I'd have to use the German one. So I can be happy with US layout all the same.

Can you tell me where the maps can be downloaded?

And you're right: Because the dollar is so low, I can spare about 200 US$ compared to the suggested price of 750 Swiss Francs...

You download the maps from within the navigation application itself - I'm not sure if they're available for download outside of the application. The "Germany & Alps" map is a 298MB download, while the map for Italy (in case you need it also) is 231MB.

Someone should put up a wiki page somewhere detailing the various maps available and the size they take. For example, from those sizes I imagine being able to have the UK & French maps on concurrently with perhaps around 1.5GB free space.

Just had a phone call with someone from Nokia Europe and they told me the N810 will not be available for a few weeks (December for sure) in Europe.

I'm about to place my order now... Just two final questions:
  • WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS are compatible with European devices, right?
  • The N810 package contains a travel charger that accepts voltage from 110 - 240 volt, right?
May be dumb questions, but I want to make sure I'm not stumbling over something unexpected.

Correct.

I do not see a CE mark on the USA N810 carton or device.

There is a difference in the WiFi channels authorized for use in various countries, but there is substantial overlap as explained here, and I doubt this is of practical importance...

Well, I'm in canada but chose france when i applied as i thought it would be easier to ship there. Now i hope i can switch the code to the US for order as i don't want an azerty keyboard and only channel 10-13 where here it's 1-11 which would result in being able to use only 10-11.

Or are they limited to that range only on Access Points?
