Experiances purchasing and using a neo fr in australia?

[Aaron Tate]

Im currently looking very hard at purchasing the neo freerunner from the 
official store on july 25, i live in melbourne australia and was 
wondering if anyone has purchased either the freerunner or 1973 and used 
it in australia.

If so what has your experience been? and if you dont mind, what did the 
shipping set you back?

Although i'm intending to use this phone frequently, i know its not 
quite production ready and accept that the're can and will be things 
that don't quite work right.
