OK, having looked at their website it seems I'm just ignorant. 299 EUR including taxes is a great deal from pulster! Just wanted to clarify the shipping charges - we basically pass on the charges from UPS so it's done per unit weight, but for single quantities it's this: UK shipping for single units is £15 + 15%vat EU shipping for most of EU is £35 + 15%vat Outside EU is £55 + 15%vat There is a huge scary chart on the website listing all the prices for all weight bands for pretty much every country that UPS will deliver to if you're interested. And yes, we have been stung pretty badly by the plummetting pound - perhaps UK.gov needs to do more to resurect the old british manufacturing and export businesses, only without the 3 day working weeks and the continual strikes... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

When I bought mine last year, I'm pretty sure that the price was £227 + VAT = £272. (And for a while that 2/7 swapping confused me a lot!) So as Anthony has said, it's the plummeting pound.

Re: Pulster offer - Freerunner 299 eur
Well, due to the current exchange rate (my government have screwed up, royally), youmay be better off ordering from truebox.co.uk, where the Freerunner is £272 or ~277 EUR. My poor poor savings, and I was planning to emigrate.

GroupSales 10 units = 279 eur/each Besides me, is there anyone on the list in/near Cambridge or London (UK) who would like to be part of a bulk order (10 units or more)? If so, please could you post to the list (or to me directly, if you prefer, in which case I won't announce your name)? If we can get ten buyers, we could all save a bit of money... I'd also be interested in the debug board, and I see that pulster.de is offering a 10EUR/unit discount for orders of 5 or more units. So, again, if you'd like one too, let me know. Regards, Sam PS. I've cc'd the Cambridge LUG, because I know at least one member of that list has been thinking about buying a FreeRunner... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
