Thanks tube for the receipt. First I went to staple but they refused pricematch since it is clearance item at target. Any way went to Best buy and used this receipt $279. Total $366 (including $60 for 3 yr replacement warranty, it includes battery replacement as well) Hope that $75 rebate will come through. I think this is a steal..........

Buying that 3 yr replacement warranty was probably a mistake. If I were you, I'd cancel it while you still can (I think you have 30 days). From what I hear, the reason BB pushes those things so hard is because they are PURE profit. They count on you either not having any problems or forgetting you have the service plan, but if you do happen to have problems, I hear the words "too bad" are used a lot in conversations with their customers. There is a lot of things they will refuse to fix, even if they specifically say they will fix it while selling the item to you. So you might want to think twice.

I was unable to PM this because it was a "Clearance Item", plus the fact that no Targets in my area had them. So I had my dad pick up one from a Target in NJ. $300 is still WAY better than $500! :) Thanks!:D

Armando--normally I agree with what you said. However, I did buy the extended warranty for my iPaq 3635 and I'm glad I did. Mine wouldn't hold a charge overnight. I took it back to BB and they replaced it with the 3765 for no extra charge since they no longer carry the the 3635. Plus, the 3765 had a $50 rebate from Compaq plus a $25 rebate from BB. These more than paid for my extended warranty.

Target has them here in the Richmond, VA area for $339. I went to one BB and they did not have any, the other BB would not even do the deal. Went to Staples and showed them the reciept for $279 and they matched it, no questions asked. They did not even call Target to varify price or on hand. I shoulda bought more!

Total after rebate $207 before tax! SWEET:D

I went to target and they had them for $339, I guess I should go to staples and try to P.M. the reciept floating around out their but, I don't really have the room in my bank account to be making these kinda purchases. If I had enough money to buy 4 of them I could fleabay 3 of them and keep one for my self and maybe even still come out ahead or at least break even but, once again not enough money in the bank account. Best of luck to all getting in on this deal, I wish I had the dough!!

I got one from Traget last week, I rush to my local target right away with out finish reading the rest of the post. I went to the elston one in Chicago and they run out. The lady help me check the other target store in Chicago and she find one for me (what a nice lady). The $50 rebate doesn't work on traget purchase, I figure it is $330 it is still a good deal.

Now I wonder what is Traget's return policy, I open the pocket PC already. Can I take my recepit to officemax or best buy to get a price match and use the rebate?

Target had alittle "Return Policy" sign right next to the PDA's...at one of the stores I was searching...

15% Restocking fee on portable electronics

Probably depends on how nice the cashier is if you return it.

I would post the reciept, but I do not have a web site to post it. I can email it you if you give me your address.
