I ordered on a Thursday morning and it got to me on a Tuesday. Shipping charge was $30, "Royal Mail International Signed For Service," it was the only option. Ya, pretty expensive I know but I had been eyeing this unit for a few months now and was willing to pay whatever price the second it was released. However, I have just asked the guy I was corresponding with at the company if he would be willing to do a deal for the forum members here and I have reason to believe that is a definite possibility. I directed him to this thread and asked him to please post whatever offer he was able to make here. So if you are interested in buying one, keep an eye on this thread for the next couple of days (I will post an update if I here back from him as well). I think the unit is also now available on mobileplanet.com for about the same price but with a smaller shipping charge so that is another option as well. But again, I believe if he does do a deal for the members here, it will be worth waiting for so don't pull the trigger just yet if you don't have to.
