Buy in US, live in Europe - 27/08/2001 13:42
I'm thinking about buying a Rio Car (10GB) in the US when I go there in October; mainly for the purpose of saving on the somewhat high tax. I have calculated that I could save around US$300 that way, unless customs insist on their share, of course, but that's another story.
Questions I have:
Will I have warranty cover me in Europe even though I bought the device in the US?
What power supply does the US version come with? A 110V only, or universal 100V-240V? (The international shop site asks to specify the adapter plug when ordering. This could imply that it is a universal power adapter and it comes really only with different plugs). I don't suppose that they would be selling the European plug power supplies in the US though, would they?
If there is only a 110V adapter available for the US version is there a way to exchange that with a 220V one? Same question goes if the adapter is universal, but comes with US prongs only.
Any other things I should be aware of?
