I am in need of some advice... I live in Sweden (Europe) and have questions about if it would be impossible for me to buy a US-version of a PDA/phone and use it in Sweden and Europe...
The background is following:
I have since the last two month with great intereset followed all the news about HP´s new Ipaq (PDA & phone) - the h6300-series.
The final information about what features and models the h6300-range will have has now been released (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11861_div/11861_div.HTML).
In US the model WITH camera (HP no: FA239A) is now availible for pre-orders and is called Ipaq h6315.
The only model that is availible for pre-orders in Europe is the model WITHOUT camera (HP no: FA203A), and it is called Ipaq h6340.
My problem is that I live in Sweden / Europe, and would VERY much like to have the model WITH camera, i.e. the h6315-model that is sold in the US.
Do anyone of you see a problem with this solution:
- I order a US-version of the Ipaq from some website
- I then order a spare part of the European power cord / AC-adapter
I mean this PDA/phone is a quad band phone and should work all over the world, so the only thing that should differ is the power cord as I see it...
Do you have any arguments about this or other solutions to my problem??

PS. I know that the US-version initially will be bundled with the US-operator T-mobile. This might be a problem for me... do anyone have any clever workarounds??
