Just browsing the expansys site when I noticed that they are selling the Nokia 8800 for $675(£380) in the States. In the UK its still a massive rip off at £580. Just wondering how they can justify the £200 difference?

Tax is part of it, VAT accounts for £80 of the difference

Oh Right, I went to Sacred Heart and St Columba's College, but I lived in Hemel.
