Axim X50v
Dell AximTM X50v Handheld are featured for $449. I wonder if I walk into a Dell Kiosk, do you think the will give me a better deal. I mean that proce is really good, but you never know. I live in Ajax ON.

I think there is a kiosk at Scarbourough Town Centre? Anyone know the correct number?

What the :azz:...

I baught one 3 days ago (August 28), at full 599$.

Is there any chance that I can call customer support and ask for an adjustment? I meen, I did not even received it yet and it's already 150$ lower than I baught.

I don't know, I can say that I could return it and ask for refund, and but another one for 150$ lower...

I would at least try to call for a price adjustment. If they say no, just cancel the order and reorder.

Welcome to Aximsite!

I've ordered a few of my Axims through a Dell kiosk and did in fact get a better deal. Those reps are on commission just like the ones who pick up the phone. It can't hurt to try. Actually, I would try both methods to see which one turns out being better. :)

They usually will adjust Price by cancelling the order, then replacing the order with a new order with the lower Price:approve:

Or, I could ask if there could give me WM5 CD and a SD flash, to compensate.

Dell kiosk? I did not hear about it, is there one in Montreal area? Is it like you can go over there and buy stuff directly there?

rsaturn9: The PDA is already ordered and shipped.

I did call CS and they told me that I must first wait to receive shipment, and they gave me a case # so when I call back, they can follow on the same call case.

Thanks for the comments.

I saw the numbers to the Square One kiosks somewhere in these forums and now I can't find it. Thought I would ask them the number to the store at Scarborough Town Centre.

ARRRR!

Seems like they changed the proce too - $454 but it now includes the Windows upgrade to 5.0.

Thanks Gigi - I went to Scarborough Town and tried to bargain them down for the x50v. They said that their was such a low margin on the sale price $20-30 that they couldn't bring it down anymore. They were giving me free shipping though.

:attention An idea - I was wondering if anyone has tried buying in bulk. Like if we could get people interested in buying Dell PDA's together at a mall and get a better price.

Anyone interested in trying it in the Greater Toronto Area?

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago for $449. I notice that with the Windows Mobile 5 "upgrade" that the "regular" price has jumped up by $50 to $649. At least it's now on sale for a significantly discounted price!

It was $454 under K-12 education. I guess I should have looked at the deals first. I just picked one up. Too good an offer to pass up.

You might want to try to call in and see if you can return yours and catch the deal
