Post Christmas Price Drops on 415X? & Bluetooth GPS?

[JDRick]

Was hoping to see some price drops on the 4150/55 Ipaq and the HP bluetooth units... anyone know of some deals for either of those anywhere on the net? I am ready to buy! :?:

I've been kind of following that out of curiosity. Hate to dissapoint you, but my research indicates that the price has pretty much stayed between $425-$450. I was fortunate enough to get mine right before the price started inching up. I paid $375 w/free shipping from

www.Mobileplanet.com

and I see that they are now offering it for slightly less than $400. That may be your best bet.

Best buy is selling them for 404$usd through jan 3.

Mobile Planet has the 41xx for $394 with $100 off if you subscribe to Audible.com...if you're intrested in that. The 4155 with 1+1 stylus is $294.95 with audible until Jan 16 and I'm getting it. :D

I looked at that price, but since you have to pay $14.95 for 12 months for the Audible subscription, it turns out to be $179, which happens to be $79 more than the $100 off...so not such a good deal in my opinion. :wink:

I ordered mine from compuplus.com (http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=il34b0qgnthj277&id=1001617) for $404 with no tax. 8)

While it's not as small and light as the 41xx series, and if you don't mind a refurbished unit, my wife ordered an iPAQ 5555 for me from HP's Outlet Store for Christmas. With their current Red Tag sale you can get it for $467.99. I was torn between the 41xx's and the 5555 and was going to go for a 41xx because I couldn't see paying $649 for the latter. But when it was only $20 more than the normal retail price for a 4155 it was a no-brainer for me :lol: I wanted BT, WiFi and the 128mb of memory!

Now I'm just waiting for it to get here. Fedex says it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow!! :clap:

Oh yeah, if you meet HP's Academic Purchase Program requirements, it also works at their outlet site so then the 5555 is $421.99.

Where could I find more info about HP's Academic Purchase Program?

I searched hp's site but it didn't come up with anything related. Thanks for the help.

Actually Snack, its not such a bad deal since the New York Times Digest which I am interested in from Audible, is less than the subscription price of $230.40/year ($19.20/month). So for a digest with the essential news every weekday, the savings is actually $4.25/month or $51/year. But of course this deal is only attractive for myself or others who read the Times regularly... at least when time permits. In fact, being in Audible format I can actually get more out of the Times during my commute. So I agree, unless you can save by using Audible content, or unless you're simply interested in what they have to offer, it may not be so great a deal. For me though, it is. :D
