I almost ordered the Sony 505 when Borders had them for 199 but decided not to because I was unsure how much all the import fees to Canada would end up to. If any Canadian is getting the Pocket Pro I would be very interested in how much those import costs are.

Hello,
I have pre-order the pocket pro. I am from montreal, so i can tel you that i paid through visa there was an exchange rate of 0.90 for the us $ on my credit card. Also, there is a 36$ US shipping fee. so total was 235$ at 0.90 on my credit card. I have called the goverment at customs & they told me that there is no charge for handling fees. But we will be charge tps & provincial taxe. Now i have yet to received the pocket pro & i cannot confirm to you for sure. At the worse case senario they will charge handling fees which are usualy 5$. (on 2 seperate order from the us that i did before, it is what they are charging).
I have extimated that for the pocket pro, the shipping cost, the exchange rate & taxes i should pay arround 280-290$can. (still an estimate since i did not get it yet)
Hope that anwsers your question.
