I live in Taiwan so I should be getting P800c with Chinese input. As usual we will get P800c later than the other markets. Since SE delay P800 as they announced. I can't wait any longer the stress is just killing me. I decide to pre-order the P800 from the web. So I can get P800 several months before it's official release in Taiwan. Even it's a english version. I can still live with that. My question is to ask members here who can give me some advice about pre-ordering P800 online. I prefer UK-based website and provide international shipping. From your information and experience which online store get the phone faster than other dealer and offer reasonable price. Of course it must take preorder and is reliable for internet shopping. Any information from you all is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
psikey

Try www.expansys.com

Good in UK, you can pre-order and they sell internationally.

I just checked out this site. Why do they automatically include the VAT (sales tax) for the order even though I am in the United States.
I would assume shipping to the US should not incurr any VAT, correct?

Can anyone comment on this?

Yes, you have to tell them not to add VAT since you live outside of Europe and are VAT exempt. However, they don't always know this so you have to tell them.

Correction!! The www.expansys.com has three sites - UK, France and US.

Both UK & France sites he unit for about US$750 but they do not delivery to the US. The US site, however, is selling the same unit for US$1,223.

Pretty bad!!
