Smells ripe to me... 90 days? I've never heard of Dell offering that.... Dell only offers 1 year on their Axims AFAIK by default. When I got our order of 20 they all had 1 year...

Warranties are transferable.. unless they are stolen??

Lots of reasons you would want a warranty. What if...WHEN... your Dpad stops working?

90 day warranty is a Dell refurbished unit. Dell does not offer warranty on it. The warranty is strictly fromthe reseller. Same as you would get from ComputerGeeks for $199 (advanced).

huh? I didnt understand your question. I'm saying that if its a new unit, you can transfer the warranty. So they should be able to put it in your name.

Who knows, but it would seem that isn't not a new unit, but a referb.... For that price you can do better on the classifieds here. I'm thinking that if you buy the Axim from him you won't get a Dell warranty.

BTW:
For $260+... wait for a deal from Rad-Man and get the full year warranty with an OUTSTANDING warranty from DELL. Maybe pay only another $20 or so with some of the deals that have been offered with free shipping! What is VoltDepot's shipping costs?

Seriously, 90-day warranty is not new, maybe new in stock. Ask them if they will supply an invoice number from Dell so you can check the 'ownership transfer' availability.

the original question was about whether or not this deal was real, because the store is offering a brand new axim advanced with a 90 day warranty, other people said that new units only have 1 year warranties, so i was wondering what the deal might be with this warranty, sorry for the confusion, thnx

There is no way this is a new unit with a 90 day warranty.
