Hi,
In late September my eye was caught by the Axim X30 High (624 MHz) and the multitude of discounts Dell was offering that could be applied to that device bringing the price down below $290. For many reasons my purchase was delayed but I blindly assumed that the release of their X50 would only further drive down prices on the X30.
I've been tracking the Dell discounts and coupons that are displayed at several web sites, it has now been a while since they have offered any discount on the X30 High other than the current 10% off and the stackable $30 to $40 off coupons have become much rarer. The price (after 10% discount) is currently at about $314.
Here are my questions: Is it likely that the days of the better X30 discounts are over? Is it possible that they are on the verge of discontinuing the X30 and replacing it with the X50?
I'm on a tight budget, so an extra $40 dollars off would be a really nice way to help me stretch my limited tech dollars, but should I just go ahead and place the order so I don't miss out on getting one of these fine machines? It's just that I know I'm going to feel like I was foolish and impatient if the discounts are again offered in the following weeks...
Can you tell this is making me :worried: ?
