    Hi Guys,

    I'm thinking of getting one of These it's €455 on the .ie site including delivery and is €417 on the .de site. Linky

    Anyone know the reason for the diff (not VAT) and any reason why I should not get it from the .de site?

    is it cheaper anywhere else?

    Cheers

    Mik

    some things worth checking: warranty (territories covered), is the German version of the OS installed, does it come with an EU power adapter...

    warranty may be in issue, check of HTC have an English ROM available to install, get a travel adapter for the power adaptor if the pins aren't swappable

    have been in the same position (being german in ireland!) but at the end of the day i've ordered from IE as i could use our company's VAT number.

    english ROM is available here:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=372 in the upgrading section. have a look around

    the adaptor for the power plug shouldn't be a problem. you get them everywhere for little money. but warranty could be an issue...

    oh, and i'm VERY happy with this little stunner! ;)

    I''ve checked the site and they have 2 versions - german and english.
    Not too sure about the warranty, but talkingclock you make a good point re VAT number :D
    Looks like it will be the .ie one then

    And glad to hear you like it - i'm lookin forward to gettin it all right

    If the VAT number is an issue with you, do this. You can order any phone on any Expansys site through Expansys Ireland. Just phone them and order the phone with the part number from, let's say the Expansys Germany site. I live in Ireland and I recently did this because I needed a phone with a T9 dictionary that wasn't build in the phones sold here. The order takes a few days longer because they have to transfer stock. But it worked very well.

    Expansys Ireland are actually UK based, so you enter your Irish VAT number and don't get charged any VAT (standard intra-EU VAT practice), so surely you can do the same for the DE site?

    Yep true - Must check that out...
    Also the phoning idea is a good one - get it @ the cheaper price and from the irish Sales so the warranty should be grand.

    just a note, flashing your device with a non-vendor supplied ROM (i.e. one you 'find' on the internet) won't be supported by your vendor... basic caveat... if you don't know what you are doing, then you probably shouldn't...
