Well I'm in Australia and I bought my Pocket Pro from the US. As I stated above, I did not have to pay anything addtionally to my purchase other than the shipping charges. No extra taxes or fees as you get slugged with in the UK so for me I still saved a fair bit of money. And I do have a warantee with my PP... not sure why people think they wouldn't have one...

Anyway, as I said above, for all people it wouldn't be cheaper but if you're in Australia it is. I didn't realize that people in the UK (or other countries) got slugged with extra fees for buying internationally.
