I brought one a couple of weeks ago from Amazon here in the UK and I'm very pleased with it. I'm not in to games or anything like that but if you have a BlackBerry phone it is brilliant for e-mails and the like, as well as a great device on its own.
It uses the same charger as the BlackBerry phones, so that wouldn't be an issue and the OS seems to be universal, you set up the country, etc, when you first boot it.
The only thing I would say, though, is that if it is picked up by Customs you will have to pay the Duty, etc, and that could make it more expensive in the long run.
