5 or 6 years ago you could have bought one at your local electronic, computer or office supply place, but they are no longer sold at retail locations even in the US of A. We are all in the same boat, so you will have to decide whether you are willing to pay the shipping & border fees and purchase through eBay or an internet sellers like usedhandheld.com or just do without one.
Sorry I know it's not what you wanted to hear! |

| I'm afraid that I have to agree with what others have said here, eBay, UsedHandhelds and hpcBay on this site's forums are your best bet. With second hand device's border fees aren't really an issue most of the time in reality. Expense, well, I always considered Canada more expensive on electronics than parts of the US, at least when I was there. You can quite easily get value for money from International sales, just ask Cmonex who is adept at finding great deals. There is the shipping fees, which do not have to necessarily be unreasonable - even with insurance.
There is a CE4 device list here if you have not seen it: http://www.hpcfactor.com/qlink/?linkID=9 the MP900C is one of a kind really. |

Anyway, yeah you just have to be patient with eBay.ca if you want to buy from Canada. Occasionally you will see some 900C up for auction within the country, and even more rarely you might find some Netbook Pros. So it's possible, just not at anytime you want. You pretty much have to watch for it to come, over a period of time. And when it does come, you'll have to outbid the Americans (sellers usually ship to US as well ).
BTW I have a G138, and it's great. Got it off a UK eBay seller, so yeah I paid a hefty price for both shipping and customs. |

| That is one cool H/PC. Still a bit out of my range, though. Maybe later after I've retired some debt. |
