    Where can one purchase a S1 with a WSXGA+ Screen?

    LGs are not sold in the US. eBay is probably your best bet.

    I'm aware of that. I make frequent trips to Europe, so that's why I'm asking.

    EDIT 9/2/06: LG's are sold in the US (through Canadian resellers), but they don't have WSXGA+ screens.

    The x60 doesn't have a number pad, and it certainly doesn't look as good.

    It'd be nice if people didn't second guess my questions. I just want to know where I can get a S1 with a WSXGA+ screen. The WSXGA+ screen isn't offered in Canada, so please don't tell me to check any Canadian stores.

    You asked where to buy one but you didn't specify which country, so we naturally assumed you'd want to buy it in San Francisco. I'd be a bit weirded out if I asked (I live in Australia) and people were telling me to buy it in Spain! Anyway, you might like to check out the S1 review thread, I notice people have posted up a few places to buy it in Europe.

    If you don't want people to guess, you have to give more information. Since you asked about LGs and your location is SF, it seems logical you'd buy it in SF.

    My bad, I should have been more specific. Anyways, I'll go comb through the LG review thread. Hopefully I'll find something.

    well, the thing was, i tried searching the web, for the s1 wsxga in europe, and couldn't find a store with it that i could understand. hence, i mentioned the x60. i have heard of people in europe having it, but haven't been able to find a site that carries it.
