That was my go to, but then they refused to give me a deductible invoice for my company (which is just me and my wife). It would have been a not-insignificant tax cut, as €700 is an expense deducted from our profit tax, but because we don’t have an EU-VAT number (being a minuscule company), they refused. We had no problems with other companies. So I just went for a Motorola instead (which was tax deductible). I really wanted their phone, but their complete unwillingness to cooperate, while I’m trying to buy their (arguably justified) overpriced phone, has made me a non-customer for life. A shame because I really sympathise with what they represent, but if I’m spending €700 on a mid-range phone, I want that spent money, to at least save me some money.
