"Collecting Sales Tax: Some Sites Have To, Some Don't
If an online retailer has a physical presence in a particular state, such as a store, business office, or warehouse, it must collect sales tax from customers in that state. If a business does not have a physical presence in a state, it is not required to collect sales tax for sales into that state. This rule is derived from a 1992 Supreme Court decision which held that mail-order merchants did not need to collect sales taxes for sales into states where they did not have a physical presence."

Sales Tax on the Internet - Free Legal Information - Nolo |
No location in Ohio, but yet sales tax is charged. The phone is nice, and cost really isn't the issue. In the short time I played with one I wouldn't hesitate to purchase if it was offered and supported through a carrier. But honestly you have one chance to make a good first impression and Google didn't do that. This is one company I absolutely would not purchase from in this goggly arrangement they drummed up.
