I'm probably going to order my x50v next week. Frankly, I'd rather pay for the upgrade when it becomes availble in Oct.(?) than receive a coupon for what is currently vaporware.
Base Price on the x50v is now exactly $39.00 higher (from what I paid on Sunday).
That doesn't sound like 'Free' to me unless it's a mail in rebate or something that you have to send in later. The details on the offer are pretty limited with no 'fine print' to clarify.
I wouldn't count on a MIR. Dell is being sneaky and taking advantage of unsuspecting would be X50V buyers. Shame, shame, shame on them
Argh. Dell Canada still doesn't mention anything about WM5... I don't suppose an Axim that's already 5 days old would qualify?
IMHO they should I would call in
