Coming to Vodafone in Europe in a few weeks. Was tempted to order mine on the day of release for £300 until I noticed you have to pay all the import tax and VAT on top of it so it ends up more like £440.

I'm either going to wait for it to be on vodafone and swap my contract in the next couple of weeks to get mine. Or get a friend in the US to buy it for me and ship it as a gift so I avoid the extra costs.

You can get it in Europe at the moment though. They ship to the UK as one of the listed countries on the google site

What a silly Bigbird you are ! If you don't like Itunes then download Mediamonkey. It is like Itunes but supports all phones, I used it for my stuff.

I just got the Nokia N900. Did have a Nokia N95 8GB, so this is a big jump. Got my e-mail setup and surfing the net is a doddle with the stylus and keyboard. Plus the touch screen is a nice touch The specs are pretty impressive, 5MP camera, 800 x 600 recording video resolution; the N95 was 640 x 400 and the recorded videos on that looked stunning so these are even better!

Was waiting for the N900 to come to O2. Now it's here. £30 a month for 24, 600 mins, 500 texts, unlimited internet. Ideal good sir!

I keep almost getting an iPhone or a Nexus one and then deciding neither are worth the money.
