well.. i think that was already answered somewhere in the thread in other words, but here my short version: afaik there will be 2 possibilities: - order at the openmoko us based webshop. - pay in us$ - pay the (to europe quite high but not unusual) higher shipping fee - if not in the us: pay the VAT/sales tax of the target country on recieving the package to the ups guy (usually in cash) - use a CC (currently JCB, VISA, MASTER. _no_ AMEX afaik) - order at a local distributor - pay the local currency - pay for shipping if you do not pick it up yourself - pay the regional tax/vat of your county directly with the device and shipping so the bottomline is: us customers as well as worldwide can very easily order directly at openmoko. but if you do not want to have the hassle of transatlantic shipping, different currencies etc or want local warranty, buy at a local distributor. i guess due to the shipping costs its cheaper and less hassle to order single devices directly at a distributor. also these could have different payment methods, but thats their decision. kind regards -- Joachim Steiger Openmoko Central Services _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
