European Woes

When will the eDGe be available in the UK?

I've been waiting ages, i understand its modern tech, and Japan/USA hate us to much that we always get things last, but its been months now...

when in the forseeable future will i be able to purchase one,

Oh, and when we do then them, will it be the first builds, or will we get access to the improved versions appearing this month?

Cheers,

Gary

thanks for your prompt reply Borisb,

What are these "various services in the US that will ship to the UK on my behalf"? i thought, as with most things for us Europeans, unless you have a US bank account and US Billing/Shipping address you cant buy from the US...

If you know anyone in the US couldn't they just buy it for you and ship it to you?

Hi Gary,

If you want the eDGe I can get it for you and ship it to you (I live in NY). I just ordered one for someone in the Netherlands and once it gets to me I'm sending it to him. No, I don't do this for any sort of compensation, just helping out others that want the eDGe but can't get it directly on their own. PM me if you are interested.

Cheers,

It´s been a hard time (more than 2 months) and a hard work, but finally I´ve get my edge in Spain. I used myus, but take care, with personal shopper (you need a USA credit card), taxes and shipment it´s around 600 €.

The edge is absolutely functional, you have all the features in Europe and...waiting the new updated in last week of may.

Borisb, thank you, I´ve been following your posts from the begining, any twitter direction?

Ouch! That's quite a mark-up (€600 = US$780).

custom tax adds quite a lot to it

I just discovered that there is a new official Dutch website "Entourageedge.nl". It seems that de EE will be available in Europe very soon. In the disclaimer is spoken that the price will be in euros, but not the amount jet. There are already links to other (Dutch) sites, so I think (and hope) they will soon deliver over here. I still have to wait 10 days before my eDGe is in my hands. Maybe I will still be the first Dutchman to realy enjoy the device.
