As mentioned in other thread the color seems to matter a lot to females. When it is ready to be used by the general population, please consider introducing a female-friendly color (red?). > The thought was this.

How was this computed? From the view of FIC or the view of the consumer? If I buy from the US I will have to pay shipping (which is at least double of shipping in EU), VAT (25%), import service fee (USD 30). If I buy from the EU I will have to pay shipping, no VAT, no import service fee. If the shipping from US is 80 USD and the phone is USD 400, then I will be paying around USD 570 to receive the phone from the US. /Ole _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
