Looks like they just fixed the price mistake! went from $79 to $322 around 4 AM Central Time. Shows you what happends when you are online at 4 AM. I ordered one anyway. They might honor the deal, and might not. After all, they honored the 200 GB Hard drive a month ago. My guess: 10% chance they honor and 90% chance they cancel order. *CROSSES FINGERS*

Still shows $79 for me at this very moment.

Be sure you are in the "small business" -- search for "axim x3i" -- ta da!

I'm in for 1... if it comes, then there really is a Santa

edit: anyone know if these are ministumbler compatible?

We can hope and pray, but it is clearly stated in the order acknowledgement:

As many times as this is brought up, plenty of folk are still gonna scream bait-and-switch. And a few unlucky folk are gonna scream-bloody murder that their CC were charged and they weren't sent the product. Five times as many people are gonna be baffled that Dell put a hold on the order amount to their credit line...

Despite all this, I placed an order for the heck of it :)

I just ordered too! And missed out on that hot WD hard drive deal a few weeks ago...so I'll give it a shot.

Wish us luck!

As of 7:09 am cst it was still the $79 price, so I'm in for 2. One for me , and on for my wife. None of us will probably get these, but at least the ride will be fun.

I highly doubt this deal will come to fruition. This will probably end up as another "4600" fiasco. I think a few orders may slip through the cracks and the rest of us are getting diddly squat.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good Luck.

do any of you guys remember the dimension 8250 madness? It was $60 plus tax and shipping. maybe 150 total.
Even though the rebate was pain in the ass, it worked fine. If I remember correctly, it was just around this time last year.

I'm still gloating from that deal. haha. Anyways, I hope that this one goes through. All those you skeptics out there, I know you ordered one if not a couple.
