Hi Franky,

I'm also living in Switzerland and I received my DR800SG 2 weeks ago. A friend, who is staying in the states bought it for me at best buy and forwarded it to me. The device + tax + domestic shipping + credit card fee + shipping to Switzerland was CHF 545. But I might have to pay additional toll taxes (~50 CHF) which I'm not sure of yet...

The device alone is 399$ but with VAT and shipping about 440$. The problem is that apparently you have to declare goods with a price >400$ in detail. It was quite a hassle for my friend at the post office...

Edit: Yes, the 3G doesn't work, but I didn't have to activate it or anything.
Why then buy the 800SG? 800S you can have directly from the Netherlands for 499 Euro. And you'll have warranty...After toll and taxes, you'll only safe about 15%...Is this worth it? Having no warranty?
