The Axim is now listed for sale on the Dell Australia website. That's the good news...
Now the bad news: It's 56% more expensive than the US post rebate rate - and there are no rebates on offer in Oz. That's just for the unit by the way, wait until you see the price of accessories. I've done a rough US/Australian price comparison based on exchange rate of AUD$1 = US$0.60:
Axim X5 400MHz $US 299 post-rebate ($US 466 in Oz)
128 MB CF card $US 44 ($US 73 in Oz)
Extended battery $US 99 ($US 159 in Oz)
Ext. folding keyboard $US 99 ($US 122 in Oz)
Wireless Lan CF card: They don't sell them to hick colonial types
It's a shame Dell Australia don't seem to understand the the Axim's major attraction - the price. Well done guys....[slow clap, derisive cheer ]
Anyone got any idea if this is likely to be a 'list price' - ie if I wait a while do you think the Oz price will drop ? Or are we just stuck with it ?
