Tried to buy it on Amazon.com but they wouldn't ship to Australia. The usual licensing/distribution limitations not waking up to the fact we have a global market bullshit. Found a bunch of resourceful people on eBay cashing in on the fact they wont post to Australia. Apparently some supply issues due to Japan's recent natural disaster. We'll see if it gets shipped (hopefully this week). Hope I don't have to call on PayPal's refund policy.
3G would have been nice but I have a vividwireles wifi hotspot as well as a 3G dongle so that covers that issue.
