    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

we don't already know conditions, and prices with Bearstech, but TRIsoft seems to be arrested to 350EUR incl VAT (plus fee's shipment)
