I think technically yes. But the strange thing is that if you'd bought the same item in the UK from someone who turns over less than £50,000 a year, then no VAT is payable!Quote:

That is not strictly true of course, since the VAT is already paid by the person you buy it from. The only VAT you save is that on the profit margin of your seller.Quote:

Looks like Windows Mobile 7 is turning out to be a giant fail so far!
I can't say I'm totally surprised. I remain to be convinced about Nokia's new offerings either, from my experience of "old" Symbian and the shambles that is the Ovi store.
I'm happily on Android 2.2 now and wouldn't switch to an Apple product if they paid me.
Android really is a surprise. It's a recent thing that came from almost nowhere to take on Symbian and Windows and is knocking on Apple's door!Quote:

I am looking for a replacement for my N96, should I buy the N8, go for iPhone4 or... ? Thanks for any suggestion/advices :)
tbh I wouldn't go with any Nokia products at the moment. They are poorly supported and in a total state of flux at the moment.Quote:

I don't know much about Android, I know it hasn't got as much software as for iPhone but it's still got way more than Nokia!
