If you do end up going this route, I believe some people on this thread expressed an interest (when I originally mentioned the offer) in finding out how it went.

I didn't follow up on that, they've had to ship it with the courier out of HK and that specific courier company is known to charge exuberant amounts of "brokerage fees" (on top of puny customs & taxes) making shipping-related expenses over 50% cost of the device.
I don't remember exact numbers -- I don't mind paying $250 for a $250 device, but I do mind paying $250 for a $150 device.
I might end up ordering one next time I'm in US or, if they ever get a BT model, buying one in retail store in Moscow.
