Default Looking For A Great Deal On A Pocket PC?

http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Browse/SKU.asp?BCFlag=False&PageType=1&SKU=482223

Staples seems to be running a real special on the AudioVox Maestro.



The advertised price is US$299. That's a heck of a deal on a Pocket PC 2002, even if it is one of the models with only 32MB of RAM. It has slots for both secure digital (SD) and compact flash (CF) type II cards, so adding both memory and peripherals isn't a problem.

Thanks to Scott Savage for the tip.

Default Compusa is also still running this special

I went last week to compusa and saw that they are also still selling this one for $299.
However in a search on their website their is no audiovox there anymore, so it looks like toshiba will use their own name in the upcomming models

And don't forget there is a rebate of $50 on top of $299, this bring the price down to $249.

There have been some folks over at Brighthand who are using various deals to get it to $209 , even at $299 it's a rediculous deal, I went and picked one up and what a suprise I honestly love it a whole bunch more than either my Jornada 568 or Ipaq 3835!

When you buy any refurbished Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC from the Compaq Factory Outlet, get half-off a second refurbished Pocket PC of equal or lesser value.

http://www.compaqfactoryoutlet.com/c...USMB6MCJBJFFME

If this is finally what it takes to move you to an iPAQ, then take advantage of this Limited Time Offer while you can!

So, here's how it works. You choose which bundle you want, and at the end of the line you will see the price. For example, for the cost conscience among us, you might go for the H3635/H3635 bundle for $433.

Here are the choices (each bundle includes two iPAQ's):

H3635/H3635 for $433
3765/H3635 for $513.50
3765/3765 for $553.50
3835/H3635 for $643.50
3835/3765 for $683.50
3835/3835 for $748.50

I had seen mention of that rebate, but when I tried to link to it, the link did not work, and then it eventually disappeared from the Web page. That's why I didn't mention it.

You might be able to find it on another vendor's site, though.

The rebate is still availible, but you have to contact the Staples Rebate Center & ask for it to be emailed to you. 1-888-856-9210 is the number to call.

Good Luck! :idea:

Default Staples Audiovox Maestro $50 Rebate Rip-Off!!!

On Sunday When I ordered the AudioVox Maestro they promised me a $50 rebate that would be good through June. Since I ordered it online I hadn't had the UPC symbol in hand. Now two days later, I still haven't received the product and the rebate is gone, I feel like I was duped by Staples. This is a rebate via Staples' and not an AudioVox, I believe.
