I thought about it some more, and USD 16/phone for a bulk order isn't enough to make a fuss about (I assume that's insured). <br><br>But I think OpenMoko would sell more phones if you could offer shipping for $19 instead of $70 (a big difference for an item costing $400) for single phones. When the phone is first released, we seem well organized for 10-pack orders, but if someone wants to buy phones later, it won't be so easy to gather up people for a 10-pack.<br>
<br>Anyhow, comparing the Pulster price of €299 inc. VAT + €15 shipping inside EU = €315 with a 10-pack direct order price of $339=€218 + 25% swedish VAT=€55 + shipping $16=€10 = €283 (that's not including domestic shipping) means that we're paying €32 extra to buy from a European dealer which means a better guarantee, faster delivery, and less hassle with paying VAT ourselves. And there's probably some value to supporting European dealers. <br>
<br>I'd probably go for buying from a dealer rather than ordering a 10-pack. The only disadvantage would be missing out on the 'extras', particularly the headset. Hmm...<br><br>/Erland<br><br>
