US Pricing (tax confusion)?

[chfilm]

Thank you all! You’ve been very helpful!

I’ll try placing an order for Germany online and go to the store in LA anyways and see where I’ll be more successful and let fate decide haha.

In addition to the VAT difference, generally the EU has stronger customer protections than the US. In the US there is only 90 days phone support and 1 year hardware support, I think its more than that in the EU (maybe 2 years, etc).

Which brings up an interesting question: buying a phone in US binds you to US terms & conditions?

I know in the case with software and servers purchased by a multi-national, for support in US, you get a US contract and contact US support, as your support in country X is not valid in US. And visa-versa (eg. US person cannot open a support in US for software hosted in country X [per quote, different t&c, warranty laws, etc]).
