To make this unlikely deal even hotter, plug that serial number into this and check if you qualify for a $50 rebate. my current ipaq is a 3630 and it qualifies even though the rebate says its only supposed to be for the 3635's.
Fill Your Pocket Rebate

That would make it $150 for a pretty hot pda.

<< This is definately not accurate, as the 3630 is only sold online (which is the only difference between it and the 3650). >>



I think you've got them switched around.. I bought my 3650 online.

Well, your kinda correct. Actually the 3630 was only available through Compaq and Radio Shack while the 3650 is available everywhere else. They're both the same though.
The rebate will not work with this as its only for the 3135. Although the Serial # works, the UPC has the product info and the receipt does too. That sucks!

I just called the Jasper store and they stated that they sold out the rest of the 3630's this morning. You might try to find other small Staples stores and see if thet have them in stock for that price.

<< The difference is only in the number, but the hardware is exactly the same. 3650 was meant for internet sales while 3630 is for b&amp;m

This is definately not accurate, as the 3630 is only sold online (which is the only difference between it and the 3650).

Enough already. they are both the same thing.
BTW. I was right. 3630 is for B&amp;M :)

Staples clerk told me that the managers cleaned out the stock a month ago when they first went on clearance for 199.
