Hi everyone. This is my first post and I doubt it will be the last.I am looking for a PDA an have seen a Dell X50v on ebay sold by someone in the USA. The price is really good but is there a problem with buying from the States?

I bought a dell x30 off ebay and the seller lives in USA, it only took 5 days for the goods to arrive.

isn't there some thing regarding support for grey imports into europe. So if you are buying from the states don't expect any come back from the manufacturer if there is any problems

I am not sure about it being a grey import. They appear to be new Dell products and I would expect that they are covered by the Dell International Warranty.

My pda comes with a Dell International Warranty, im very pleased with it. just go for it and enjoy the big savings, I saved £50 buying from USA compared to UK prices.

Cheers Radski. It looks as if this is the way to go.

In the event of you requireing support here in the UK DELL may require a proof of purchase. I don't think the warranty is tranferable therefore you may be left without support. Clarify the situation with the seller before you commit yourself.

Good point Charlie, thanks. A little more research I think.
