Handspring Visor Edge ~ $250.00 ($100 Trade-In + Staples $40 off $200)

[EvanBlackwood]

Those of you interested in picking up this sleek doo-hicky, check out this website, Handspring is offering $100 rebate if you trade in your existing PDA:

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20010607/tc/handspring_offers_rebate_on_newest_device_1.html

Combine the $40 off $200 from Staples, and you've reduced your price to $250.00 from $400. That math again is:

399.00
(100.00) - Trade In Rebate
(40.00) - Staples Coupon
-----
250.00

Any one know about any price matching opps?

Regards,

This would be cool if the offer actually is available through other retailers, other than Handspring.Com. Details to follow tomorrow... From Handspring.com:

Details about participating in the trade-up program will be available at http://www.handspring.com/promos/tradeup.jhtml starting Friday.


There are some PM opportunities on Pricewatch, but you have to get the right CSR that won't add the overnight shipping. If you get that, you can get about another $40 off.

This is really unlikely to work. It's my understanding that Handspring is going to make you buy the edge directly from them to get the $100 off. Staples isn't going to PM that.

Link to news release on Handsprings website. Hmmm.... I wonder if they would take a Casio PV-400plus!

You actually have to buy it from Handspring.Com and have to give them your old PDA... I don't know about the "friend" thing?

 

[valkyrie]

Yep, it's only good on Handspring's website:

http://www.handspring.com/promos/tradeup.jhtml

WARM at best. You can get the same price with a PM and coupon, and not have to give up your existing PDA.

I have the original palm professional. I'm waiting for it's antique status to make it more valuable than it's $300 price tag

the deal seems okay! but i still like palms better

According to their site, if you trade up from a Visor PDA, you don't have to send in your old PDA. You are s'posed to give it to a friend, family, or charity. WinCE models must be sent in.

do u guys sure we don't have to send your old hanspring handheld???
i thought it doesn't matter if it's handspring or not hanspring u have to send it.

You do not have to send in your Handspring device, you only have to provide them with a serial number. They then credit you with $100 that is automatically subtracted from your Visor Edge order from Handspring.com
