Obviously, that sort of depends on whether or not you\'re particularly risk averse. I\'ve seen people here and on eBay have some problems with their zaurus c-760/860 (1/4 of screen no longer viewable, screen no longer lit, etc.). If any of that stuff happens, you willl of course suddenly wish you bought from Dynamism, as I don\'t think support from Japan is easily obtained.
That\'s what you have to weigh in your decision.
I have heard that japanese support is fine from USA....you just need to send it in with warranty and reciept ...a little tough with the translation , but not an insurmountable task.
I hardly think 1 year of warranty that is alreayd available is worth the extra $200 (approx)....NOW IF IT WERE A 2 OR 3 YER WARRANTY, THEN IT WOULD BE WORTH IT, BUT AS IT IS THEY ARE JUST MIDDLEMEN DOING exactly WHAT YOU CAN DO, OR SO i HAVE HEARD.
