Mobility Site - View Single Post - X3i on the way for me! (My reasons, for those who are considering!)

Deam is right about the prices. For a Pocket PC, I checked Future Shop and stapes in Canada. I would have spent $299 on the HP 1935 (only 16MB or ROM) or $399 on the HP1940 when I don't need bluetooth. So, I got an X3 Basic for $297 after the 15% off and I get 32MB or RAM and ROM and a slim device which will do all I need it to do.

Additionally, at Staples, a 256 MB SD Card was $120 and I got one from Dell for $82 after 15% rebate. I also got a case included when the IPAQ 1935 comes with no case.

All in all, best bang for the buck but I was hoping the X3 basic would be the same price as X5 basic. Smaller battery, no CF, seems they should be selling it for less.
