Jeff, when I pay for it it becomes "permanent". :) Until the next device.

Paul: A quick search on eBay reveals several P1610s sold for less than USD1700 and shipping worldwide. Hope this helps!

Now you’ve inspired me James and I am trying to track down a source in the US that will ship to me in Switzerland.
I found that Allegiance Technology Partners has the P1610 for under $1700! But only shipping within the US. Do you know that the best price I can find in Switzerland is CHF3600. This is the equivilent of almost $3000!!! and that’s for the minimum spec and no idea when they’ll be getting them in.
If anyone knows of a US dealership that will ship internationally I would be very pleased to hear about it. With this massive cost difference I could even consider flying over myself and picking one up and still save money.
Any ideas or suggestions (constructive please) gratefully received.

I’ve sure enjoyed following this development. At the same time, I have to point out a critical factual error in the above post.

There is no such thing as “a permanent part of [JK's] toolkit. ;)

I hope everyone has a good week.

Why am I not surprised. I always thought it sounded like a perfect fit.
