Hi Michael I've considered that already. The exchange rate for ?/CHF is currently to high to go this way. 1 ? ~= 1.6 CHF, ok I would save ~10% on the taxes as the MwSt by us is only 7.6% but then I would have to drive 400 KM to the next Nokia shop. I guess this is not an option for me. Thank you any way.
