I used to have an HP Jornada which lasts forever, and I just gave it to someone so I have a reason to buy the Axim. Hopefully it'll last a year or two.
I've paid $679 (E570) for the entire package (Axim x51v + 3 year completecare). Yes this also was including all 'coupons' I could find in the Netherlands. I knew in advance that Dell are totally taking advantage of european customers, but well I did some calculations, and asking a buddy in the USA to buy it for me, then send it on, would in the end (including postage) cost about the same, and be non-tax-deductable, non-insurable etc.

All I know is that with the completecare thing I am basically insured against 'everything' and that is quite costly. I just know I want to be able to sit in public places and pull out my axim without worrying that some -insert expletive- would steal it from me or I would knock coffee over it. E60/year is not that bad an investment.
