SPV 500 please someone has an idea on how to get one ??

I am going to break a rule by asking for help not for some .Net code, but for a gift.

Well it's going to be my beloved wife's birthday soon, and I was thinking about a cool phone. Not an ordinary crappy phone, but THE phone, I mean the Smartphone SPV 500.

Unfortunatly I am not living in US, and it seems impossible to get one here in Europe. I talk about the developer's edition, with the unlocked Sim.

Anybody has an idea how to buy one somewhere to be deliver in Ireland ?

Thanks guy. Scott I know the imate, but the Sp3 don't have the camera, you have to go to the Sp3i which costs more than the SPV :-)
Anyway thnks to Jason I ordered one from Orange !

AFAIK IMate SP3 is exactly same as C500. IMate SP3 does have the camera. SP3i is same as TMobile SDA same hardware as C500 but different exterior.

Plus I ordered from http://ora.co.uk/orangeSPV/ on 5th September and I am yet to get my C500! Hope you have better luck with them.

Vasanth is right. the SPV500, iMate SP3 (except the SP3i) and a few others are all the same. the SP3 comes with a camera. and it one hell of a phone. good luck!

I got my iMate SP3 just two days ago and it has been so far so good in my opinion. Also it got a camera ;)
