Hi there,

I'm in Australia and hanging out to get one of these. I've been waiting for it to fall below $1000 AUD (which, apart from the psychological barrier, is also the point at which import duties are levied).

Unfortunately the AUD isn't doing so well, so I might be waiting a while. However, the Japanese Yen hasn't been going so hot either and it looks like the Japanese version is now cheaper than $999 USD. Can anyone comment on how easy it is to use, and whether there is any hope of being able to install an English firmware on it?
