    I would doubt it, being a shop that is technically in the UK.

    No. Not in cash. All cards accepted, though.

    Would you not consider buying it in the republic? The current exchange rate makes it more expensive to buy it in the north than in the republic.

    The 16gb is £499 - €605
    The 32gb is £599 - €725

    If you buy it here its only €599 and €699 or take 20 euro off each if u buy it p&g with 3 and 02 I think!

    Not much in the difference but every penny counts!

    not to open a can of worms here... but using that logic we should accept GBP and USD also. Would increase business alot (not sure of the conversion costs incurred on the economy though!)

    Not forgetting the costs of getting to and from Belfast. Besides, come January, it will get even less attractive when the VAT rate increases.

    on a similar note my wife is in San Francisco on business and rings me at 3 in the morning to tell me she can get the iphone 4 sim free for 600 dollars in the apple store but somehow I think she is mixed up as all that I have read about the Us states it can only be bought on a contract with A&T. Will ask her to try and buy it tonight and see what happens
