    If they get back to you if they will ship here, can you pop up a quick post, would be all over that if they did!

    They got back to me and unfortunately, they won't ship outside the UK.

    Looks like it's time to get in touch with some friends and family in the UK.

    CPW would ship it to the nightline depot in NI, then nightline deliver it to your local motel in the ROI

    http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/2520-charger/
    Nokia is announcing a product advisory for the European and UK variant of the AC-300 charger, which is used exclusively with the Lumia 2520 tablet. Consumers in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and UK are strongly advised to suspend use of the charger until further notice. Also, consumers who purchased the Lumia 2520 travel charger accessory in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, UK and the US are strongly advised to suspend use of the travel charger accessory.

    In total, approximately 30,000 chargers are impacted by this advisory. This includes approximately 600 travel charger accessories sold in the US.

    During an internal quality control process, Nokia identified a potential product quality issue that may potentially lead to a safety concern with certain AC-300 chargers, manufactured by a third-party supplier. Under certain conditions, the plastic cover of the charger’s exchangeable plug could come loose and separate. If loose and separated, certain internal components may cause an electric shock if touched while the plug remains in the live socket.


    If you have an AC-300 charger and would like to receive more information as it becomes available, please send us your details using this form:

    Those consumers with an affected charger will be sent a replacement EU plug to attach to their charger base. We will also send a gift voucher to those people that register on the website by 31 May 2014, to help compensate for the inconvenience caused by this situation.


    For those with an affected charger, we recommend that you register using this web-form to enable Microsoft Mobile to provide a replacement plug for the affected part. www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/contact/

    Once you have received the replacement, instructions for fitting the new part can be found here: www.nokia.com/global/2520-charger-fix

    We will also provide a pre-paid return label to return the potentially affected charger plug to Microsoft Mobile, so that it can be properly recycled.

    £80 for amazon.co.uk is nice.

    New adapters had been shipping for the past week or two also.

    Not really that expensive when you look at the superlative specs in comparison to anything from Apple.

    It says keyboard included though...
    For 519, that seems like a steal, no?

    The tablet is near EOL, but surely they're not pulling the plug on support already? And even though they lost millions on RT, it didn't appear that they were abandoning it altogether.
