| Oh yeah - Harmony Computers. Decent ratings and easy site to navigate. They were closed (but have Sunday hours). Haven't spoken to anybody there yet.

funny I sold my Visor Prism to someone in Canada...
is it really dificult to purchase a PDA in Canada?? do no internet companies ship to Canada?? why not?? I sold then shipped my Prism and many accesories to someone in Canada, it cost very little.. in fact probably close to the same price to ship anywhere in the US. I am amazed it is so dificult for them to get PDA's? |

| its not that its difficult, its that it costs so much. THe nx70 form the sonystyle website was like 900. Its just cheaper for them to get it from here. I recieved e-mails after the auction to sell it to them. Some even offered me money to go buy a new clie and send it to them .it would still end up being cheaper.

| Harmony is a friendly site as well. I would recommend from the sites I talked to datavision, pcnation, and harmony. THye were the most informative/ lowest priced and they all think they will have a shipment in next week.

| Thanks Ark for the info, I think I shoudl take the advice, I do remeber when I went to Canada, I felt much richer.
I gave them $100 to exchange, and ended up with $150 cant beat.
Question,
I have never shipped anything to Canada. Is there anything special I need to know?
Who does shipping there? Fedex? |

| I did 3 weeks ago. ups was cheap considering some of the rest, it was only $30. But the pain in the *** was to fill out the customs forms. You must declare all items and fill in the forms completley. It takes forever to fill them out but he recieved the package in only 3 days.

That 900 is in Canadian dollars not american. Converted you guys could it cheaper up here, not the other way around, because US dollars are worth much more. | |

| Any place/site I have checked out in Canada has the nx for 1000 cdn... which is around 630 US. However, there is a Toronto guy selling them on ebay for about 475 US right now, sealed. Awesome deal, but I wouldn't buy from an unknown. As for anyone else, check the completed items under ebay.com to see what you can expect.
Customs forms are usually included with the papers the shipping co. has you fill out. UPS is brutal! They ALWAYS charge canadians final brokerage fees - Fedex is much better. |

| We've all been busy - I'm about 99.9% sure I'm going with techonweb.com.
Up until today, depending on who you talk to, they were getting them anywhere from the 12th to the 20th.
Spoke to the purchasing head; they're getting them in on the 20th. For their kind of price, I can live with it easy.

| Just played around on amazon.com
The front page says that the NZ is shipping on 2/17.
When you order it on the other hand, the ship date gets revised to 2/27.
Very subtle message on the order screen - if you're not careful you'd never see it.
