    Hi,
    I'm thinking of buying this one... it's the same as the UK version, 11S I think it was?
    Anyway... France is closer to Belgium than the UK is so I'm ordering it from France, Azerty FR is also closer to Azerty BE than Qwerty is...

    My questions:
    1) When will this one drop in price? Anyone with some experience that can make an estimation? I want to purchase a warranty extension but then I'm going over my budget...
    2) This French model, will it give me any problems? Not that I can't read French, but I would want at least an English version. Can I do that if a windows CD is included? Or are windows CD's one language only? If it's possible with a windows CD, does this one come with one or is it pre-installed with recovery?

    Thanks!

    Uh its the not the same as the 11S, the 11S has a better CPU, it has the P8600, it probably won't drop in price anytime soon it was only released very recently as for if it will be french or not I would expect so if your buying it from france, but i'm not 100% sure

    Right, the US version came out around a month earlier and now the Euro version is available since the last couple of weeks. I would give it at least 3-6 months before price changes occur.

    Wow, I was expecting a quicker price change, mobile phones are expensive the first month but drop very quickly...

    Anyway... off course it's going to be in French, I was asking if I can change the language somehow?
    thx
