NikonJapan said they didn't make it in English, and NikonUSA wouldn't allow the English version to be shipped to Japan. As it happens, I used the same retailer in the US to get both.

As for choice, yes, I did have a full choice of colors, with cover or without, AC adaptor, etc. from the US retailer, but I wanted Silver. I just prefer silver for my electronics. Colors don't seem to suit me, although I am quite taken with that woodgrain Decalgirl one. I might just order that if I scratch up the silver. I don't see that happening as I do have a nice hard leather cover for it, and a spare that I ordered when I read of the problems with the clips.

Does anyone ever have a problem with the screen getting scratched up?

I nicked my screen when I dropped a lighter on it. I've also dropped the unit twice, which took a small chunk out of one corner and messed up the top and bottom silver parts. Still working great though!
