 just to say thanks, guys, for all the replies, but as a note, I stay
 in Singapore, not in Europe, so Wim's kinda out-of-the-way (i'm not in
 Europe). Appreciate ur help though!! Short of me going down to japan
 personally to buy the thing (and then ship myself back), is there any
 other (affordable and) better way of getting the thing?

Youre in luck then, pricejapan has a local citibank account
there.  Details here[0] and here[1].

 I'm looking for something similar. I want a portable or ultra
 portable but would like it to have built-in wireless and decent
 battery life. Does anyone have any experience with OpenBSD on Sharp's
 transmeta laptops (MM  MP series) or Fujitsu's?

the fujitsu lifebook p2000 models work (early ones are best; they added 
acpi or something and dicked up usb in later models from what i've 
gathered).  p1000 should be the same.  while it's a lot faster than a 
zaurus, it's nowhere close to what you'd get with a pentium m cpu.

And that's why you believe it isn't simple.

Someone else recommended those as well and they look pretty excellent!
The newer ones seem to have a touch screen on some models as well - is
there any chance that is supported?

Also how is the battery life? Thanks for the feedback!
