Btw 3 dinars = ~0.03€
I think it's not fair to pay the same thing, from the same shop for different price.
In my currency it would correspond to 0.1$

But seriously now, do they really do this $3 = 3€ = 3£

Tax free euro price*:
3€ x 0,8 = 2,4€.
Converting tax-free euro price into dollars
1€=1,44$
So
2,4 x 1.44 = 3,45
So deducting taxes and converting into dollars we get
3$ (USA price) vs 3,45$ (euro price without taxes in dollars).
So europeans are paying about 15% more than americans. Just don't ask me why, because the usual reasons (higher social security fees, better consumer protection, etc) should be relatively minor when it comes to on-line software sales.
*VAT varies within EU but it's usually around 20% give or take couple of percents.

Got my N900 from US but it only came with basic stuff: device, battery, charger, headset, usb cable, cloth - no adapter for older chargers...
If I'm to convert the amount + VAT the phone costs in my country, it comes close to 900$ better to say, it comes close to ridiculous...
Now the phone can be found @ dell for how much? 470$? adding the tax 'n shipping it's 100$ cheaper now than it was last year.
Point: why in the world is living in europe such a rip-off?
Sorry for the off-topic

I've been stuck on 1-20 for about 2 days now. It is no longer fun, I just want it over with haha.
EDIT: and of course I was doing exactly what the walkthrough said, but I was just too imprecise.
