Thanks for the welcome, SNCA.

For interested South Africans, I ordered the device from Take2. I had to do this via the "More USA" tab. It'll work me out around R3040.00, including couriered delivery. This excludes the cost of the power converter and, possibly, a carrying case.

I'm waiting for my 'proof of identity' to be processed, then the product should ship in 10-17 working days: so I expect to receive it in a month at the most.

What I like about Take2 is that they figure out your shipping, customs etc. upfront. What I am afraid of is their couriered service: if I am not at the delivery address if the courier arrives, it will be sent back. Not very useful since I'm only given two days notice when the item is shipped to SA --- and that's not enough time to take a day off work.

Let's hope it works out. =)
