Do you mean to say that if I bring it here in India I won't have to pay the excise duties? Is that so? I thought it is mandatory to cough up excise duty if one brings anything from outside the country.
Anyone having more information on this issue please help.

Hi friends.
Well I have dropped the idea of N900 from Finland. I have now decided to bring it from USA as it will cost way too less there as compared to Finland. The price of US N900 is Rs. 27000 only.
But there's one problem. I have not got many contacts there and whatever contacts I have are not in a mood to come to India recently. I have thus decided to ask them to courier the phone to my address. Here are some doubts. Kindly help me out

1. Which courier company is the least expensive and what is the rate of delivery from USA to New Delhi?
2. Will I have to pay customs on the mobile? I have checked the customs site many times but could not get the required info. Some sites mention cellphones are duty free some say they aren't. Anyone having the details of rate of customs on mobile phones in India please help me.

your rate will be your value asdded tax..in the uk its VAT.. not sure what it is in india, it is basicslly the difference between what a consumer and a business pays for a product or service.

hey prateek will you please do me a favour? will you ask your friend (who brought n900 for you from USA) whether the phone is available at all nokia shops or only at nokia flagship stores in new york and chicago.
i mean to say
1. can i purchase the phone from any nokia shop in washington or only the flagship stores sell it?
2. will the shop deliver the phone hand to hand or it will order the phone and ask me to wait for some days?
