Does anyone have a phone number or email address for Adobe Taiwan? I can’t seem to find any info about how to contact them.
I want to buy Lightroom sometime in the next 3 weeks (before my trial version runs out) - or at least before April 30 when the price goes up to US$299. Right now, it’s US$199. So, I guess if anyone knows where I can buy Lightroom in Taiwan, that’d help me.
It can’t be bought online, as I don’t have a Taiwanese-issued credit card, and Adobe will only sell online if the credit card issuer is in the same country that the purchaser is in.
I’m know that Adobe Taiwan are selling it (and Adobe US have said that it’ll be mid-year at the earliest before a Chinese version is released, so Adobe TW must be selling the English version), coz it’s on their website, but I can’t find their contact details (probably due to my lack of Chinese reading ability).
Finally got onto them today, after leaving a message 2 days ago which was not returned and they told me that they don’t know where to buy Lightroom in Taiwan.
I didn’t believe them, so I got a Taiwanese friend to call back and ask them and they told him the same thing.
Adobe Taiwan doesn’t know how someone in Taiwan can get a copy of Lightroom. Crazy.
What about via 3rd party supplier like Amazon? I believe they are more relaxed with the address. Also, not sure which language you need, but you might have trouble finding the english version if adobe here can’t even tell you where to buy the chinese version.

As far as I’m concerned, if the company refuses to sell it to you, you have carte blanche to get it via other means.
Truant - It’s only available in English so far, Chinese is not expected until mid-2007. Adobe Taiwan actually have it listed on their site.
I have it on my PC, as the trial version (still 17 days left), so all I need to do is be able to pay for a serial number. I’d have thought that Adobe Taiwan could at least take my money and give me a serial number, but they don’t seem to be able to do that.
Buying online is out, as Adobe policy is that the purchaser has to be located in the same country that the credit card is issued in. I believe that extends to resellers (Amazon etc) as well.
EDIT - just checked the Amazon link above - US customers only.
