You'd have to find out what 3G/HSDPA bands the US version will support before finding a friend in the US to get one for you; unless you'd be happy with EDGE speeds. If it supports the 2100 band, then you're sorted.

Pity indeed.

I'd reckon the chances aren't that good unfortunately.

Obviously, you have a cost effective way of getting it here that will minimize the amount of import duty you pay, along with an EU warranty?

Funny story about that. A chance conversation with an American co-worker here led me to discover that I can get stuff delivered to a friend of his in the US Navy base here. All legit and above board, apparently.

I think I'll be taking him up on the offer when the N900 is released.

Most US sites will do that actually. No use to me tough!

Can I be friends with your co-worker's friend please? :pac:

As I understand it at the moment there is only a European model.

The duty is a consideration. Not encouraging any law breaking behaviour of course - just thought it would be of interest here.
