I was just making a suggestion, and as for joining the norwegian 10
pack buy, i could, but they both live far far North in Norway, while i
live far far south, the cost of sending it would most likely be about
the same or more as the 10 pack buying discount :(

First off all, I highly doubt if any serious corporation _or_ FOSS
community would engage in such matters. There are much more at stake
than just a wish to avoid a additional 25% VAT surcharge. ( That's the
tax he's complaining about.) Regardless, discussing illegal VAT or tax
evasion on a public mailinglist isn't the world's brightest idea. On
the other hand, If he'd prefer to pay less VAT there is a way for
Norwegians to do so. Norwegians are allowed to bring into Norway wares
worth up to 6000NOK (about 1200USD) _IF_ they spend a minimum of 24
hours abroad. If Flexd really want to avoid paying VAT I'd recommend
him to order a freerunner from a EU dealer and ship it _post restante_
to a swedish post office. Then he'l have to pick it up after
spending a day&night in sweden.
Post restante= Old postal tradition where mail and packages are
adressed to a post office rather than a person. Such packages are then
retained for two weeks _without_ notice. The recipient has to pick
it up and prove their identity before the post office releases such
mail/packages.
When that have been said, why cant flexd join the norwegian 10pack
order?

If ordering from the US (or anywhere really), would it be possible
to have the package marked as a gift to evade taxes and such?
Norwegian taxes are high, so we'll probably pay like half a phone
extra >_<

Well, if you consider that you've to pay the shipping costs from
Usa or
Asia in 10 or more people, instead that as an alone buyer I think
that you
gain really more than 30$-8€ ;)
Well, that is the key question now for us in the EU - I believe
that FIC has said that they will have a distribution center in the
EU, which should make the shipping much less expensive. The very
high shipping cost in relation to the price of the phone I think
was a problem with the GTA01...
I'm very much looking forward to hearing about how FIC will solve
the EU distribution, and how much the shipping will be in Europe
on top of the $399 + VAT price, which I think is a very good
price. I think that info would be in the next update from FIC.

Yes, you are right, i was thinking that buying a 10pack phone is
always cheaper than buying a single phone due to the shipping
costs. I'd like to know the eu price and if it's convenient to buy
the phone in eu, else there are some services that you can
subscribe for 10$ which give you an us address so you buy the phone
and send them there, after that you pay the shiping cost from there
to your nation, this can let you to not pay VAT, don't know how
much it's legal but i'd like to get more info on this services
because they can be very useful. Everything obviously is to see how
much the eu phone costs due to the VAT and other taxes.
So i have to get more info about this service but they exist so i
think it should be a good deal to use them if in eu the phone will
cost too much.
Cya!
