It's worth haggling on the price with Dell

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.

Wow, good work. But where is there a TV tuner? I wasn't aware there was one available for the Axim X50v. Do you have a link for it?

Kinda makes you wonder how much money Dell is actually making with their pretty much dirt poor prices...

Hi

I've lost my link, however below is the exact wording from the Dell site:

"Promotion- EOPs CF TV Tuner including PC Card Adaptor (Axim X50 & X50v) - Watch TV on your Axim"

It plugs in the CF, takes 4AA batteries

I found a review about the tv tuner.
