This was purchased direct from Dell via the internet. I think Dell products can now only be purchased directly from them. Cutting out the middle man means that the savings are passed onto us and this is why they can knock out super cheap deals.
I opted for the 624Mhz bad boy, with Blutooth, WLAN, Sat Nav with Bluetooth Receiver, 265Mb extra memory. Came to about £460 in total. A similar spec HP model with all this equipment, but a much slower CPU would set you back nearer £600 or a little bit more.
Evertyhing works perfectly on this little gizmo, The sat nav has voice recognition and is basically Dells own "ripoff" of the highly acclaimed TOMTOM 3 navigator software.
Email and Internet connectivity is made easy by either using the bluetooth to dial through a bluetooth enabled phone, or by using the wireless card which is built in, to piggy back onto wireless networks ( all done legally of course )
12 months return to base warranty comes as standard.
If you are considering a PDA, this is the one to have, look around on the internet and you will find lots of documentation on this device which shows that it wipes the performance stakes from the competition by completely outperforming them.
Set up is easy, all the software is microsoft pocket pc 2003 compatible including the office apps.
All in all a very attractive package
