10% Off on Dell Axim Plus $50 Rebate!
http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-966497.html
"The e-mail offers a 10 percent discount in addition to a $50 mail-in rebate. When all the wheeling and dealing is over, consumers who have the e-mail offer will pay $175 for the entry-level device with a 300MHz Intel XScale processor, or $265 for the advanced model with a 400MHz Intel XScale processor." The discount is being sent to previous Dell customers via email.
As to the length of time the $50 rebate will be offered - "Dell has no intention of ending the $50 mail-in rebate, but would consider it "to modulate demand," a Dell representative said." Dell also sold 300 Axims on the first day of Comdex from their Kiosk. I just looked at their web site. I saw that they have sold out of their initial allotment of Axims already. The ship date is now December 16, not December 5.

Kinda makes you hope that Dell has done a good job on QA. It would suck if the device was problematic, what with all the excitement and the large demand of units.
I'm crossing my fingers, even though I'm not buying one.

It sounds like it was e-mailed directly to people. Perhaps you have to be on Dell's regular mailing list to have gotten it.

Does anybody know how many of these they can make in a day/week whatever? I'm just curious as to what kind of volume we're already talking about.

hope
while this is all good news, I only hope this presses HP to lower their proces so I can get my hands on a 5450. I can never go back to anything less than transflective. Strip Poker just wouldn't be the same, i mean, email just wouldn't be the same.

This is either off-topic, or you haven't realized that the Dell is also backlit  .
