It seems as though most folks bought theirs through SE. I got mine off of an eBay reseller for a decent price.

I bought mine on Thursday for $695.00 from this seller:

He provided expedited shipping via USPS Priority and had excellent communication. My phone should be here today.

this add describes 910i but under item detail - it says 910a?

I bought the P910a because it is for North America. There are a few threads here that talk about people using the P910i in the US without any problems. The other difference is the plug: the P910a has the standard US style wall plug, the P190i has the European style wall plug (two round stems versus the rectangular stems). I could be wrong but this is what I recall from the pictures I saw.

Ugh. I know this is not your fault JesterDog but I just have to vent... $48 for shipping on this. $34 for the shipping (ripoff) and $14 for mandatory insurance (also ripoff - go to the post office and see how much it costs to insure a $700 shipment). So it's not even close to $695, it's $743. That's more in the range of some of the online phone stores.
Why has ebay become such a scam with all these shipping and "handling" charges? People are screwing it up.
OK, enough ranting.

I know (sigh) the way sellers are taking advantage of buyers on Ebay sucks. Even with the inflated shipping charges, it was still the lowest priced P910 on Ebay (at the time of purchase). Still not happy with the charges.

Exactly, I have a CD player from Europe that had this sort of plug. Went to Radio Shack and bought an adapter. Works like a champ.

I got mine through MobileBee.com, complete with T-Mobile service. 2-day delivery was pretty reasonable and it got to me on-time...
