Solem,
I don't believe any Norwegian companies can match the price from Expansys, even if you pay 313NOK for shipping. Remember that we are not part of the EU... therefore no tax (vat). 648 NOK is not bad... and they deliver faster than Komplett.no  |

Fredrik,
Have you ordered from Expansys earlier, so you can recommend them? |

Solem,
Sorry, no personal experience, but friends have received their orders as promised.
I'm thinking about preordering the Bluespoon from them... just waiting for the final price. |

I have bought an Ericsson MC218 new from expansys (http://www.expansys.com) cheaper than you could get it second-hand on ebay!
Had no problem at all with quick delivery. |

The mp3 on http://www.expansys.com was about £79.99 only a few days ago and they have just reduced the price, but I still prefered to pick mine up from my local Vodafone shop at £49.99 with no delivery costs or risks |

I'm considering to order from expansys, because the mp3 player costs a lot here in Norway. But I have some question about this player: Are you able to use USB for transferring files from your pc? If it's only a parallell interface, does'nt the transfer process take to long? And what about the power consumption from the phone (how much does it affect the standby time etc.)? Anyone know?  |

Not even attempted to run under WinXP(after reading posts). Got working under Win98SE on my laptop & desktop but having many problems (crashes) with slow transfer and system slows right down. Just ordered a Dane-Electrical USB bus powered MMC/SD reader instead for £24.
Playing 10 tracks on my 32MB card appears to have little affect on the battery bar. Not much experience yet |

Hi Guys,
Are we talking about using the HPM-10 with the T68? It is just that this is not listed as one of the compatible phones. |

goto www.sonyericssonmobile.com website and look for accessories for T68. The mp3 is listed |

Solem,
The Mp3 player uses MMC (MultiMedia Card) and is bundeled with a parallel/LPT reader for MMC. You can get some cheap USB MMC readers too that allows greater transfer speeds. I use a ZiO USB adapter... think it takes about a minute or two to fill the 32MB card. |

When you are placing an order at expansys and selecting "rest of europe" to avoid VAT (ordering from Norway, outside EU), the total price become higher than selecting "European Union" which includes VAT. This is because the high increase in postage. Anyone know what to do when ordering from Norway? |

I bought a T65 for a friend from expansys when it first came out for £200 (he wanted one badly). I can say there service was very good, i even rang them up to change the colour of the phone i ordered, it was no hassle and i can recommend them. This was delivery quickly and to the UK.
hope this helps
