Look - it isn't as if we don't like to be helpful in thise forums, but for goodness sake - five seconds spent perusing the names of the top few threads in this section of the forum would a) have answered your question and b) have saved you the trouble of posting a needless thread.
Put the effort in - go and look.
(Maybe I'm just being irritable - but it seems to me that there are a ridiculous number of threads appearing currently asking questions or posting information that the tiniest search effort would make redundant. :roll: )

Look- in the time it took you to post that, you didn't even answer the question. On a forum, if you want to be like that, at least:
1) Rant, then answer the question and pray I dont do it again and others see your post.
2) Rant, then post how to do the search and let me go look for it.
And I did the most common search words for my topic: asus, buy, and usa. I didn't see it. Maybe I used the search wrong.
Oh maybe I needed to be more clear. I mean besides that one place that has the 730 bt but no wifi. I meant if someone knew if circuit city or the likes might have it. And I live in Hawaii. I don't have all the super stores here but I will be going to the mainland in about a month.

From what I understand, it will only be sold online, and the only company that I know of that will be selling it for certain (they're already taking pre-orders!) is Proportable.com 
You might check out PocketMatrix.com, they're a pocket pc site that's pretty heavy on the Asus users, so they might have more information, but I don't know for sure since I haven't visited it in a while. |

You're welcome
After reading your edit, I checked out PocketMatrix, and under the review of the 730, Justin from Proportable mentions setting up pre-orders on the wifi 730 in a couple of weeks, right now he's only got the bt 730. Here's the link if you want to check out the review and comments

I did answer your question - I pointed out that the answer is staring you in the face in the list of threads in this section of the forum. Was that asking too much effort? Should I have gone to the thread for you, cut and pasted the info and the link for you?
Fifth thread in this section of the forum (would have been fourth post before you started this unnecessary thread). Clearly gives you the answer to your question (there is even a hyperlink). This is not about searching for answers hidden in the depths of the site's database... this is about following a simple and widley recognised principle of forum use that way too many people are currently ignoring - 'look before you post'.
Otherwise we all have to scroll down further and further to find the interesting/useful threads which are pushed down by the threads that ask redundant or repetitive questions.
Don't get your heckles up because someone has the audacity to pull you up for not putting in the merest bit of effort. After all - in the time it took you to post your response to me you could have looked and found the answer where I told you it was...! :roll: |

That, wasn't answering the question. As a matter of fact, and its probably my fault for not being clear in the first message, but I did see that post. And from your quote, I see you didn't read that part of my message to your response as you ignored it here and pointed out what I alredy said I knew. (sorry thats a run on sentence)
So yes, I DO want you to point out the post. As you can tell from what I written, I did do a search. And I didn't find an answer that I was looking for.
If you posted, even a wisecrack response that it was told 4 post below mine, then at least I could've just corrected myself by stating that I knew that and wanted to know more places, we wouldn't be waisting board space.

starstreak, about the A730
I love Asus products, at least their motherboards, graphics cards, and CD-ROMs. I also thought that the A730 was the pocket pc I would buy … until I started reading specs and mini-reviews. I realized I had three choices: Asus A730, HP hx4700, and Fujitsu-Siemens Loox 720. The more I read, the more convinced I was that the Loox 720 is the best choice. I’m still reading, trying to find out as much as I can before I bite the bullet, but the Loox looks great. Whatever you decide, good luck. |
