All the premium domains are long gone from the list. With all the new TLDs available the value of .com has diminished greatly. In the current situation, I'd personally prefer a nice domain name on a less known TLD, than a crappy four-letter domain on .com. I recently registered a three-letter domain on one of the new generic TLDs which exactly matched a commonly used abbreviation in one of the industries I'm active in. For the equivalent on .com the asking price was nearly five figures. On the TLD I used the domain was still free :)

Please keep us informed as to its SERPs rankings outside of NL since I have yet to see anything in the USA Google SERPs other than C/N/O rank at all for a competitive search.
Believe me, I would love it to, I have some great .asia names I would actually prefer to use since the majority of my widget production is in Asia however risking my .com rankings is a BIG leap of faith in G's algo even though G "says" it ranks them the same way.
I "love" my two letter .asia :-)

This specific domain is for a special interest group, SERPs ranking is not an issue. I have however one country TLD competing nicely in the USA SERPs. But that domain is older than google.com, so it may not be a good representation of how well the newer TLDs will perform globally.
