Anyone in the UK *actually* got one yet?

Still waiting for these little babies to be available in the UK.

Anyone got one over the pond yet?

Paul.

I believe they should be out in the UK quite soon (I'm not sure if that's a marketing soon or a real soon).

Anyway - yes - I happen to know that there are several of these in the Cambridge vicinity

Rob

Rob, thanks for the help!

A surprise that they are all in Cambs though! - can you see them all from your desk?

Paul.

I rather fancy getting my hands on one here in the UK. Its the Dell one for me as it looks cheaper and I already have Ethernet so don't need the phone network stuff. Anyone found a UK supplier, or a USA web site that will do a UK order ?

I imagine that the dell one is only going to be available via Dell, no sign of any mention of it on their website though - the audio section mentions the 'HipZip' but nothing else.

Rio seem only interested in US sales at the moment, so I think that the only way to actually get one is to mug a passing ex-empegger....

If you do find a site, please let me know - I'm still waiting for one!

Cheers,

Paul.

From Dell right here. Plugged mine in last night, review coming soon...

WOW! I notice that the price is down to $199.00, and that includes your choice of a 10/100 desktop card, a 10/100 notebook card, or an HPNA card.

Way to go, Dell!

Hrm... maybe it's a US only thing. odd. Yep, sure enough. if i select UK as my country, i can't get to it. Sorry bout that. =]

Gumble, grumble, grumble.

I'd just order one from the US, but I'm not sure about voltage, etc....

This is just getting stupid - I can't by anything from Rio in the UK..... empeg-car included.



Paul.

Anyone who has one of these in their hands can comment if there is a 110v/240v switch on the back ?

Just noticed $149, if you just want the DELL Reciever and no adapter card for your PC. Complete Bargin !

It certainly does :
$199 for the dell
$349 fro the rio

Has the rio got a golden volume-knob or something?
I presumed the hardware is identical, so why this huge price-difference?

Frank van Gestel

Double check me, but i'm pretty sure the $149 price is only if you order it with a Dell system...otherwise it's $199. And off the top of my head, i don't recall seeing a Voltage switch, but i'll double check that tonight.

The PSU is auto-ranging 100-240v. It's fully approved for europe, too - CE marked & so on. PNA2.0 is also approved for use on EU telephone systems, I believe.

The $349 Rio price includes a PCI HPNA2.0 card, without the card it's $299 (the old price of the Dell).

Hugo

Now, I'd buy one from the US Dell site - but it won't let me enter a non-us address.

I give up.

This isn't really surprising, as the product hasn't been launched in the UK yet. I hope it won't be long before it is.

Rob

Why does it need to be "launched" in the UK. I have bought loads of stuff from the US via web orders.

I could order one and ship it to ya if you are super desperate and wanna deal with two shipping charges..... that's legal eh?

||| loren |||

Loren,

Thanks for the offer - whatcha think it'll cost in shipping? The last time I had something shipped from CA it cost me nearly $100! (and I *know* that I was not getting the best deal).

Cheers,

Paul.

i have no idea what it would cost. The box for the reciever i got couldn't have been more than 5 lbs., so ... quick estimate at UPS.com says something like $75.

Too right. Sometimes companies need reminding what the first two 'WW's in 'WWW' mean.
