Unhappy I think you're stuck

It's true, you can download the ROM into a PC, but in the Visor it's still ROM, which stands for Read-Only Memory. There is no way to change it inside the Visor, short of replacing chips.

Put it up for sale on Ebay and buy another one here in the US.

unfortunately you would have almost no options regarding changing the language of your VDX, this is inherent to the lack of flash RAM.

How much different is it actually?

As it were I am moving to germany soon and also speak german. so I am curious as to what is different.

What about seeing if Handspring would exchange it for the proper language version?
