If you have friends in the EU, maybe you could pay them what it would cost in terms of buying and shipping the phone over here. Or, if you can find one, maybe there's someone online who does imports that might be willing to help import one.

But yeah, I really hope they expand their business here even though they'll be absolutely 100% legally bullied out of business and forced to leave the US market because cApItAlIsM.
