Does anyone know how much the developer G1s work out to for us Europeans? http://code.google.com/intl/de-AT/android/dev-devices.html only mentions the $399 US price - I suspect if they ship them from the US, I'd have to pay customs and more for shipping, etc.
$25 to sign up as a developer just to obtain this information seems a little harsh.
I suspect you might find the exact details in an Android forum. But yes, you'll have to pay customs, taxes and tariffs to ship the Android dev phone outside the US. Also, how well the phone will work depends largely on what carrier and data plan you're trying to use. Again, HN is probably not the place for this, but here are the specs for the phone. This is the only additional information you'd see after paying the $25 for a developer account.
