^I'd rather go with SNtraders online (Check HoFo)
Amazon sells for 599.99 USD which is 694CAD before taxes and duties.
I believe SN traders is selling for 799CAD+tax with free shipping.

I believe SN traders is selling for 799CAD+tax with free shipping. | Why would you go SNtraders when:
Phone $694
Tax 12%
Duties 0% on most electronics (cell phones would be one of the items that have no duty)
OR
Phone $799
Tax 12%
What makes more sense?

What makes more sense? | I wasnt aware that theres no duties with cellphones. In fact, I had to pay duties on a few cellphones I've bought online. Maybe I should have looked into that.

Hmm you probably had to pay brokerage, not duties.

This thread is calling my name ugggh. I had my heart set on this phone but the screen on the 5800 killed it for me. Worth it to switch from a Bold to an N97?

A smartphone data plan is not the same as the iPhone data plan.. i think.
