well.. i think that was already answered somewhere in the thread in<BR>
other words, but here my short version:<BR>
<BR>
afaik there will be 2 possibilities:<BR>
<BR>
- order at the openmoko us based webshop.<BR>
- pay in us$<BR>
- pay the (to europe quite high but not unusual) higher shipping fee<BR>
- if not in the us: pay the VAT/sales tax of the target country on<BR>
recieving the package to the ups guy (usually in cash)<BR>
- use a CC (currently JCB, VISA, MASTER. _no_ AMEX afaik)<BR>
<BR>
- order at a local distributor<BR>
- pay the local currency<BR>
- pay for shipping if you do not pick it up yourself<BR>
- pay the regional tax/vat of your county directly with the device and<BR>
shipping<BR>
<BR>
so the bottomline is: us customers as well as worldwide can very easily<BR>
order directly at openmoko. but if you do not want to have the hassle of<BR>
transatlantic shipping, different currencies etc or want local<BR>
warranty, buy at a local distributor.<BR>
<BR>
i guess due to the shipping costs its cheaper and less hassle to order<BR>
single devices directly at a distributor. also these could have<BR>
different payment methods, but thats their decision.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
kind regards<BR>

To resume, there are some dsitributors :<BR>
<BR>
France : Bearstech<BR>

<BR>
we don't already know conditions, and prices with Bearstech, but TRIsoft seems to be arrested to 350€ incl VAT (plus fee's shipment)<BR>
