Where to buy the Venue Pro / anyone want to help me...?

---

Hi all,

What with the unlock codes now working I can finally take the plunge and buy the Venue Pro. The problem is I'm in the UK and we still can't get the phone over here - Expansys are an absolute waste of time, they don't have stock and just keep listing fictional date after fictional date on their website.

Ideally I'd order directly from Dell but they don't ship to the UK. Anyone know any other sites in the US that stock the phone and will ship? Failing this, anyone fancy doing me a massive favour and ordering from Dell for me? Obviously I'd PayPal the money up front and whatever else you thought appropriate for handling, yadda yadda

After waiting this long I'm just desperate to finally get my hands on it and move on from my old HTC!

Did you try here:

I did - but the thing is most of those are $670+, whereas the Dell Venue Pro is $499 on the Dell website (or $449 for the 8GB). $170 is a heck of a mark-up, even if it includes an unlock code (which seems to be $55-60)...

There are occasionally bargains on ebay with cheaper VP's but I am probably going to go the route of using com gateway to get them to buy one for me and get it shipped here and pay using paypal. I added it up roughly.

Phone $450
Fee $45
US Shipping Free
Total $495
------
International Shipping $50
Total $545 (£335.23)
-----
Unlock £45
----
Tax £79.50
(VAT at 20% and Import Duty at 6.5%
GRAND TOTAL = £414.5 + £41 unlock = £455.5

These are approximate prices. The exchange rate fluctuates and tax depends on
the declared amount on the phone. It may be much less. But state tax may also be included. Unlock fee may be more as well.

Having said that a total of £450 which I imagine is the upper maximum is less than
the UK price currently and without the wait.
