Hi, I'm interested in the A20 with NAND. I was looking around to see if I could buy it from a seller in the US to save on shipping.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I see them at Mouser, but I wanted to check to see if there were better options before I pulled the trigger. Also, would it be more beneficial to Olimex if I ordered direct? I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to support a good company.
Any US A20 users that can weigh in?

It is most probably cheaper to buy a single board from Mouser or Digikey than order it directly from Olimex - shipping to USA is expensive.
Price of the board in Digikey seems to be lower:

PS: I'm not a US user ;)
You can order directly, it still pretty fast, my last order came from UPS within 4-5 days from Bulgaria to Canada ...
I bought mine from Digi-Key; it was my first purchase with them and I was very pleased. One of the reason why I chose Digikey is that they are located in Minnesota and I live in Iowa. I ordered the board at 7:15pm on a Tuesday night, they had the board picked up by UPS by 9:00pm and I got the board on Thursday at 1:30pm.
I'm pretty sure Mouser is located in California. The day I ordered mine, they either were the same price or within a dollar, so that all played into my decision.
I also bought a Debian micro SD card. I ended up reformatting it and installing a new image, because of video display problem. The price of the SD card was reasonable, so it didn't really bother me.
Mouser is in Texas - good service to the East coast - I buy from them frequently. If you want it quickly Mouser or DigiKey will make it happen.
Have also purchased directly off Ebay - good service but takes a week or 10 days from Europe.
