US Students Get iPAQ 2215 for $293

Roderick assures me there's a site at this URL, but it's either down right now or very, very slow to load.

[Shaun Stuart]

which is much cheaper than the $399 MSRP that the rest of the world will be paying.

unfortunatley the 2215 will cost you a mere $617 in th UK. A mere 55% more than the standard US price.

[MoelBrain]

Can anyone confirm that the site is working?

[Janak Parekh]

It works perfectly for me, but I've visited it before. You might have to go through the HP homepage to get to it correctly, as it requires you to choose what kind of institution you're in, what contract you're under, what state, etc.

--janak

[MoelBrain]

Thanks. Once I went through the store to find it the site worked perfectly.

[spg]

Wow, great price. Might be able to justify going up to the 2210 from the 1940 now, actually save $6. :-)

[poqeteer]

Ummm... Not to be a conscience, but you all do know that this is meant for TEACHERS! :roll:

[Yorch]

do the iPAQ h1945 or the iPAQ 2215 come with PPC 2003?

[jherubin]

Ummm... Not to be a conscience, but you all do know that this is meant for TEACHERS! :roll:

From the HP higher ed site:

HP is committed to offering college students state-of-the-art equipment at the most competitive prices - from printers, calculators and pocket pc's to streamlined notebooks and powerful deskotps. So when you arrive at school, you'll be ready.

[Kati Compton]

Ummm... Not to be a conscience, but you all do know that this is meant for TEACHERS! :roll:
And students, usually. But yes. On another thread there were a number of people trying to take advantage of it.

hey, my daughter is 7 years old, she is a student!

Yes, but I think this particular link is to the teacher page...

[KOMPRESSOR]

Yes, the site is working, but it's probably best to go through www.hp.com instead of the posted link. This deal is *really* sweet, but it doesn't really soften the blow of my $40k annual tuition. I didn't get to spend much time at the site even though I was able to add the H2210 to my shopping cart for $293.00. What I really want to know is:
1) How do they verify that the shopper is a qualifying US student?
2) What prevents me from buying this product in huge quantities and offloading them on eBay?

[TomB]

Poqeteer, WOW! Do you date back to the Washington origins or when Poqet was sold to Fujitsu? I still have my Poqet and must say it was almost twenty (?) years before its time. Although it is no match for the PPC - back in the day it was about ten percent of the size of the smallest laptop AND to this day, still has the best keyboard on a mobile device. NICE WORK!

[MoelBrain]

Does anyone know if the cradle and power adapter listed in the configure part are for extras or do you need to buy them.

[xoiph]

Yes.

I don't know for #1, but my guess is they only let you order 1 unless you call them directly and use an institutional purchase order or something. And one's conscience is the other preventative component. ;)

Some people have mentioned receiving emails asking what school they attend.

[uvahoos]

What is the difference between a 2210 and a 2215? Is it just one of those reseller issues, like the Jornada 567 v. 568? Luckily as an employee (and graduate student) of a university I should be able to atke advantage of this! Could be bye-bye for my trusty Jornada. :cry:

[Enderet]

OMG :evil: i posted on this yesterday and look! BLAH... :grumble: damn people stealing credit..

[jherubin]

Ummm... Not to be a conscience, but you all do know that this is meant for TEACHERS! :roll:

No, it is for students of higher ed as well. This is very common and is often even offered by the manufacturers direct through college book stores.

As a college student for the last 7 years I have taken advantage of this site and it perfectly fine. HP does it. Microsoft does it (through distributors). Other software and hardware vendors do this as well and is almost always open to college students.

[kidoco]

what's the process what sort of proof do you need. So I can get everything together and order mine right away. :lol:

[Newsboy]

Lucky for me, I'm a grad student on a fellowship! I'm still petitioning for a 1910 upgrade, but looks like I'll soon have a 2215 in my grubby paws too!

[jkabaseball]

well schools OUT :D :D :D so i guess you could put up a stink and say there NO ONE AT SCHOOL and have it sent to your house. I'm a student and i'm going to order it soon.

[Janak Parekh]

OMG :evil: i posted on this yesterday and look! BLAH... :grumble: damn people stealing credit..
In the future, submit it as news instead of posting it to the forums, and if you're first, you'll probably get credit. :)

--janak

[SilverSealAMW]

I'm starting college in September, does that make me able to get it at this price, or would it only be once I actually start school?

Also I don't know if I'd even want to, cause I'm really nervous about ordering a PPC online, after how many times I had to take my 3950 back for a new unit.

[jspyers]

I can't get the site to load through the link, could someone post the navigation path through the site to actually get to the page with the details about this offer?

Thanks in advance

[SilverSealAMW]

This is how i got there. Go to hp.com, click Government & Education on the left bar, on the Higher Education drop down select Students, on the right hit Higher Education Store, then Handhelds, hp iPAQ PocketPC, then look for the 2210.

[Jaxbulls]

What did I do wrong, I just went through the site normally, went to hpshopping.com, selected handhelds then the 2215. it was $399 still. So i saw a link for an academic program on the left. I clicked signed up, signed up as a student made a username and came back to this page. The price is now $359 which is better but not what everyone else is getting.

Is there some other place to go or do u have to be a teacher for it to be $293

This works but only for the 2210. This thread says the 2215 is available for $293.

Is there even a difference between these models???

They are exactly the same. Just like 3950/3955.

[lurch]

I LUV being a student! I have only taken one class yet, but I've already taken advantage of the $15 Windows XP, and $20 MS Office, etc... :)

Looks like this is next on my list!!!!!

Did anybody notice that if you go to "Configure" the purchase, it takes you to a page that details the h2210, but shows a picture of a 1940? :) Good to see they're on the ball over there... :frusty:

:)

[rmasinag]

hahahaha :drinking:

I knew education would pay off!

I was holding out for the 1940. But I saw the 2215 at Comp USA days ago and made me a lil depressed being a broke student, having to shell out another $100 for this.

This is redemption! Perfect for ppl who want to do something for my bday in 25 days hahaahah! :mrgreen:

At least they would able topay half, better than nothing! 8)

Did you submit it to the news@ alias using the form? We don't have time to trawl our own forums for news. We post on the news that people submit to us. If you didn't do that, then you have no right to complain - sorry.

[ipaq38vette]

How long does this last?

[Skoobouy]

I still want a 1940 for its size, design, and record button; unfortunately, it is ALSO $293 for students. Wow, I can save $7--enough for a coupla Happy Meals. Actually, in my case it doesn't mean anything anyway, since I'm in Belgium. :cry:

[tasmms]

Looks like you need to add the cradle. $44.00

[Enderet]

What makes you think that you need to add anything? You are wrong you dont need to add. Go through the process of buying a 2210 or 5 it doesnt matter. And you will see that the description for the devices are the same as well as the option for the extra cradle battery etc...

[stevehiner]

Hopefully they, like a lot of other places, consider us home-schooling parents to be teachers. I'm planning to find out.

[droppedd]

wow - you know, i'm just not feeling the "impoverished college student" thing. I'm already at a top-30 US News & World Report ranked school with enough scholarships that combine so i'm actually coming out AHEAD on my tuition, but now I get cheap PocketPCs too. Score!

btw, people here seem to be bothered by this deal. we're not ripping them off; the idea is that if teachers get a piece of software or hardware it'll kinda be forced on the students. This is the case with MS Office - they practically give it away educationally, and so if a liberal arts prof accepts electronic submission, they often want it in doc format, locking in students. The students, too, can get it cheap, but MS is counting on locking them in for a lifetime of Office since the poor puny consumer won't want to learn to use StarOffice. HP is counting on a new generation of iPaq addicts .

Of course, the CS department at my school runs everything on Linux, and your submissions must compile and run on linux to get credit. :lol:

[pro_worm]

do the iPAQ h1945 or the iPAQ 2215 come with PPC 2003?

Nope. 2215 ships with a proprietary "CE 4.1" system, which is now currently supported by two dozen developers. I would strongly dissuade people from purchasing the device, however, as HP decided to cannibalize the iPAQ name by releasing the unit with several uniquely hideous faults, including a "backreflective" screen (a new technology that, in approximately 30% of the units produced, can actually malfunction and cause eye damage due to misdirected LCD styrorays.) Additionally, there have been reports that the 2215's Compactflash card slots bites off people's fingers - as well as other "outlying parts."

The 1945, on the other hand, runs MS-DOS.

I don't think we'll get along very well.

:D $293 :D Now that was the KICKER.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have a 3135 and a 3670 that I hardly use, because I hate the size when I ad sleves.

Wow im getting good at this... I just found another. You should be seeing it on the news sometime soon. I hope.

The only posts I've seen that are concerned about the morality of the situation are those complaining that non-students and non-educators are trying to get the unit for the educational price. I don't think anyone is saying that the actual educational people are pulling a scam.

[Pixelnose]

Screw the students in other countries, I suppose...as always. :roll:

[SilverSealAMW]

Oh well, I'm not going to do it. I just can't get myself to order something like a PPC online. I'll just pay full price so I can get it in a store.

Definitely not if that's your signature :? no offense or anything, I'm all for Palestinian independence (same as the vast majority of Israelis) but the so-called "Free Palestine" movement is almost always hand-in-hand with the "destroy the Zionists and kick them out of Israel" movement. and I speak as someone with family in Israel, and as someone who's spent several weeks there over the last few years, not as someone who just spits back what I hear.

[mmidgley]

I used an educational discount years ago (while I was doing my Computer Science undergrad work) to obtain a pda. I remember they had me sign a form indicating I was not buying it for the purpose of reselling it, but that I would be using it. Even if I was a current student it wouldn't help me as they quoted the 5550 at US$636 (I'm still crossing my fingers that my US$599 Amazon pre-order will come through--they tell me that's the price I'll get since that's what they had listed when I placed the order on June 2).

The waiting game reminds me too much of my H3650 purchase (took nearly 3 months) in 2000. :roll:

[PCPhreak]

Am I the only one who is getting the price to come up as $267? Also, is there a limit to how many you can buy? I am a student at Hawaii Pacific University, and both of my parents are public school teachers. Would it work if I ordered 2, or are you limited to one purchase per year as is the case with the Apple educational discount?

Finally, are there any forms I need to fax them to confirm my enrollment? When I registered at Edu.com, I had to send in a copy of my campus ID and letter of acceptance.

Thanks in advance,

No, it's a valid criticism. Do you enjoy paying 600 Euros for something that other students are getting for half that? Seems more like it's supporting the stereotype that the Swedish-speaking have money to burn. 0X

guys help me out here. I just got off the phone with hp, they are telling me that the address the ipaq will be shipped to has to be a school address and the payment method as well. I am in college and my mother is a high school teacher, which covers the shipping address either way. but how do i go about the payment???? its not like i can just walce in the high school or college and give some one a check and tell them to order that for me. HELP MEEE!!!!!!!!

Did you attempt to buy through the student or faculty link?

for the people who asked how to get the prices, see the thread on anandtech, i kinda lay it out there:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=1080783&STARTPAGE=1

[rzanology]

yes I did. They want me to sign up to become a web customer. I don't know what to put for the billing and shipping address in order to be eligible.

[droppedd]

i don't know - it didn't say anything on the site about that. I just put my home adress, but my billing adress is a mailbox at university, so it's fairly obvious i qualify. Worst case I ship it to school and wait till august to pick it up - if i can handle the postponement of gratification for that long :-). I assume they'll call or email me if there's a problem with my order... i'll keep you up to date on that.

[jpaq]

AHHHHH!!!!

I'll just have my sister-in-law order it. She's a student ay UF. That should do it.

I still want to know how PCPhreak got the lower price though. $267

Money is money. I'd rather save a few bones if possible. Plus the less it costs, the better chance I have of getting it past the lovely Mrs. jpaq.

:mrgreen:

[droppedd]

I also got the lower price. See my link to the anandtech thread for details; in short, you go by state to the location of your school, and pick a contract group your school is a member of. Some of them get better rates than the general hp discount if they negotiated a specific discount (for example, many MA schools are in Mass. Higher Ed. Consortium, which gets the lower price).

[rzanology]

here is where im lost. I understand why you put your home address for shipping, but how and why did you put the school's address for billing??? how did you pay for it?

[SilverSealAMW]

Theres no way to get these discounts when buying in an actual store I assume? :cry:

[Excalliber]

hmm... does this apply to K-12 students :?:

I'd rather have the extra money to buy an SDIO WiFi card in the future than the convenience of being able to return it at a local store.

[Excalliber]

Probably not at something like Best Buy, but the store on a campus might offer the discounts (Like the Mac store at Indiana University)... If they even sell handhelds, much less PPCs :roll:

[kagayaki1]

I don't see the cradle as being included...maybe this is the model number difference. Anyone confirm? (I noticed when I was checking out it gave an option to add it, which made me think "why isn't it there in the first place?") :roll:

[Enderet]

Grr... this was posted already!. Anyways... even when purchasing the 2215(which is the exact same thing as the 2210) has the option to add a cradle. ... ITS JUST AN EXTRA

[Excalliber]

it's included no matter what... it does the same with the none-educational checkout and the educational checkout. They just give you the option of adding a second one. If you look at the quick specs tab of the 2215, "USB cradle/charger, AC Adapter, slip case, battery, charger adapter" are listed as included.

Edit: maybe i should be faster in replying :oops:

[Enderet]

heheeh Excaliber :lol:

anyone mind answering if the pricing is available to K-12 students :?:

No...just higher ed students

[jd4science]

I don't think that's true. You can click the government and edu. link, then above the Higher education link is a K-12 link, and that's where I found the $293 price. I think k-12 people, like me, can get it at the lower price.

[Excalliber]

Is that students and faculty, or just faculty? Though somehow i doubt HP cares about discounts for K-12 students... :?

[jd4science]

Right to the right of that link is a link that says k-12 education students and faculty, and it is an online store.

[Excalliber]

Good job HP! :clap:

Sign me up.

Edit: Bwahaha, the pricing is $267... strange though that I indicated the same education sector both times i checked, and the price is lower when i navigated a different way. Well, works for me :lol:

[PCPhreak]

anyone mind answering if the pricing is available to K-12 students :?:
Yes, it is available. That's where I got the $267 price. Both of my parents are public school teachers in Hawaii, and I just graduated from HS and will be attending Hawaii Pacific University in the fall.

The prices vary by state, which is why many of you don't see the price as $267.

[lonesniper]

I am from UK but working in US summer camp with lots of US Students. Can someone explain what information I need my US friends to have so I can get them to buy a 2200 for me cheaper :-)
I will spend the saved $100 on a Wi-Fi CF and extra battery.

Thanks.
Colin

[atsouch]

$293, which is much cheaper than the $399 MSRP that the rest of the world will be paying

Jason, you probably mean the rest of US. Some part of the rest of the world, like Europe, starts at about $600 (in UK) and goes up in other countries like Greece (we are waiting for a price close to $650).

If some people in US are angry when they see 25% discounts for students, just imagine how we feel all these years when we see the price differences between US and Europe.

[maikii]

I don't see how others are finding the academic purchase price of the 2215 at $299. Was it that price on Thursday 6/26 only?

I signed up today for the HP Academic Purchase Program as a teacher (which I am). When signed in under that program, the APP price for the 2215 is $359.99. (Today is Sunday, 6/29).

I tried the link given in this post, but it didn't work.

Could it be that the author was talking about another kind of student discount, not the Academic Purchase Program? Or do you need a special kind of coupon code? Or is that price already gone?

Actually, buying it at the price of $359.99 would not be the lowest price I could get it at. Although free shipping, they would charge me California sales tax of about $30, making the total around $390.

Harmony Computers is also selling it at $359.99, with $14.95 "shipping". (Quotes intentional. I doubt it would really cost them $15 to ship such a small light device, ground shipping.) But, no CA sales tax. So the total around $375, $15 less than through the academic program at HP. (By the way, anyone could purchase through Harmony, don't have to be a student or teacher.)

(Of course, with the state of California being in such a dire financial situation (including the financing of schools), perhaps I should be a good guy and pay the sales tax!)

But anyhow, the teacher/student discount at $360 is not really such a good deal, since (at least one) reseller has it at that price, and prices will probably continue to go down, if one is willing to wait.

But---if there's something I missed--regarding getting it at that $299 price--please let us know!

[droppedd]

you need to go through the higher ed store, as a student or teacher, then go by state and choose a contract (the national contract should give you the $293, if your institution qualifies for others you may get a better price). Again, see my above post with link to the AnandTech thread (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=1080783&FTVAR_MSGDBTABLE=). The price, as far as i know, only applies to higher ed students and employees, so if you're a high school or elementary school teacher you may be SOL.

I got the $267 price for my university; i called HP today and they said they should be confirming and shipping my order today or tomorrow - nothing about a price mistake or anything... ::crosses fingers::

[beq]

Anyone ordered anything extra with that, just curious? I didn't know if the 3-yr extended warranty is a good deal or not. As well the the extra batt and other accessories also seemed like decent prices...

[droppedd]

the latest: Now it seems that they've taken down the $267 dealie (at least from my school's contract) but the $293 shoulc still be good, and now applies to k-12 as well!

anwyays, i got in on the $267 and i should be getting mine in 3 business days. ohhhh yeah.

[beq]

Turns out the extended warranty item is "out of stock" thus holding up the whole order since last Friday. I'd called Wed to find out what's what, and the very nice woman split out the warranty to a separate order so she could overnight the base order to me. Came home today (Thurs), the boxes are already sitting out front, excellent :)

I was lucky to snag the $267 too. BTW is this extended warranty just your standard CarePAQ or is it something specific to HP's Higher Education store?

[Kati Compton]

They were out of warranties??? :lol:

[beq]

^ Your guess is as good as mine :) They must have to ration it or something...

I know people like Best Buy warranty instead (which you supposedly can buy for devices purchased outside the store), and I still remember the old complaints about CarePAQ being next to useless, but oh well...

[anhandrew]

I ordered one at 264 and one at 293. Not knowing which discount I will get. But will find out tommorrow. I wonder does this include the cradle? I ordered in such a hurry I forgot if it included it.

I haven't ordered one myself, but previous discussions seemed to indicate it did include a cradle (though it preportedly gave you the opportunity to order an additional one).

Nope. 2215 ships with a proprietary "CE 4.1" system, which is now currently supported by two dozen developers. I would strongly dissuade people from purchasing the device, however, as HP decided to cannibalize the iPAQ name by releasing the unit with several uniquely hideous faults, including a "backreflective" screen (a new technology that, in approximately 30% of the units produced, can actually malfunction and cause eye damage due to misdirected LCD styrorays.) Additionally, there have been reports that the 2215's Compactflash card slots bites off people's fingers - as well as other "outlying parts."

The 1945, on the other hand, runs MS-DOS.

I can't believe everyone reading this thread, and posting after this post, let it go with no remarks.

Indeed, the amazing initial price seems to be gone.

yep! pretty messed up, my friend got his 2210 at like $230 through edu. program. I went to buy mine... 354!!! the difference in one week at HP!!!
my likeness to HP is like 1% now, what sucks for them is that they were fixing sell me something and id quit negatively advertising for them, but they sorta blew it! oh and now warranties are 'out of stock'?
they suck!!!!!!!!!!!
