Default How to get the N560 in Australia

I've been waiting and waiting for this PDA, but it seems you can only get it from http://www.clove.co.uk/. As the url suggests, they are located in the UK.

Anyone know how to get a hold of this in Australia? I don't want it shipped from the UK, because the customs and duty and all that could end up making the n560 a little too expensive.

Anyone have any ideas?

FSC PDAs are officially sold only in Europe, so I'd say that importing it (with all the associated costs) would be unavoidable. There are cheaper places than Clove, but not by much, and Clove's after-sales reputation is pretty good. You could try expansys.com (they have an Australian branch), but they don't do warranty service and I've had a couple of bad experiences with them.

Hmmm.. if you ordered directly from Clove in the UK it would have reached you in 3 days, not 3 months ! And probably cheaper too. Just MHO, have dealt with both companies, FWIW
