Wow, that price at pricejapan has come down a bit (hasn't it?) ! Don't forget to add on the host cable (I guess €15), adaptor (€5?), 3.3% paypal fee if you want to pay via credit card, then VAT on the lot. That's still comfortably under €600 though.
I guess that pricejapan will, likely as not, always be the cheapest as they charge a 5% handling fee. Doing business in an EU country when you have to ship something in, certify its sutability (the CE mark) and provide the support associated with running a business around it will probably be more expensive even before VAT and any other duties are taken into account.
Still, at least multiple options are opening up in the EU, and the great news is that every one of them seems to be staffed by people who know what they're talking about, and who have been in the handheld business for years. Trisoft, pulster and figlabs all appear to have very knowledgeable and enthusiastic people, and all of them appear on this board which again can only be good.
I suppose it depends on whether price is more important than support?
Barry has already bought his, but hopefully this thread still being around might help others.
