 I didn't follow up on all the previous mails, but 399 EURO = 624 USD

 So I would have to buy it in the US and even get rid of the sales tax..

Same here. The European price is just a joke ! And this site doesn't
mention how to pre-order from outside Germany (VAT, special taxes,
options, adv kit, ...).

This is a really bad sales channel, where you can get your hardware
about 50% off if you order in US.

I think we (Switzerland) will again get lost and have to pay high prices
for such devices :-(

In the UK, getting a distribution channel though someone such as
http://www.expansys.com/ would make a big difference to sales I think.

...but maybe when the consumer version is ready and not the upcoming
developer version.

Still people who just don't want to realize, that this is the price

Stop propagating FUD!
And wait until the prices are fix...
