Hi

I ordered my X50v on the 17/01, the price on the web was 289 + free gift. When i phoned i told the girl the price was too high and could she help me out. She originally said no but i kept on going mentioning they were cheaper in the USA etc...

Eventually she offered me 278 and the free gift. When i asked for the TV tuner she said that would be a leadtime of 30+ days, the PDA and gift have to ship at the same time. I then told her to cancel the order, the phone went on hold many times before being told i could have a TV tuner.

They tried to deliver today, but i was obvioulsy at work!

If you are going to buy one try haggling you might get something.
