I have been waiting for OfficeDepot.com to list the 2215 in order to purchase with the current 15% off coupon code.
Last Friday I stopped by my local Office Depot store to see if by chance they had the 2215 in stock. They didn't, so I asked if they knew when they would get them in. I was directed to talk with Greg, the head Technology guy for the store. He said HP wouldn't be shipping them any until mid-July, and I replied that Best Buy and CompUSA were already selling them. He said are you sure, I said yes, want to see the one I bought from CompUSA?
He was impressed with the 2215 and that got him going. After about 5 minutes on the OD terminal looking for the proper stock number he looked up and said "We have 200 of them in our local warehouse, would you like me to try and get you one?"
On Monday he called back saying they had 20+ in-store and one on hold with my name on it.
Before going in to buy it, I went to OfficeDepot.com, put an iPaq H1910 in my shopping cart, then added the 15% off coupon code, and printed that page (showing the coupon #, title, discount %, and valid-thru date).
When picking up the 2215 from the local store I showed them the printout and asked if they could give me the 15% off on the 2215. The clerk said sure. However, the cash register would not except the coupon code from the printout. He preceeded to enter 9999 as a code, from a list of reasons he selected "valid code from flyer, website or internet" (or something like that). It then prompted him for the coupon code again and for a dollars off amount. He used a calculator and punched in the dollar amount of the 15% discount. He also asked to keep the printout.
Because my two previous Pocket PC's (Jornadas) died from damaged screens, I was determined to purchase the 2215 from a store offering an extended warranty that included accidental damage to the LCD. The OD plan is $69.99 for two years. The nice thing is the coupon code is 15% off your total purchase over $75. So the extended warranty was also 15% off!
My total for the 2215 + 2-year warranty was 398, plus tax.
Misc. details:
My local OD is in Issaquah, WA
The number on my OD reciept for the 2215 is: 080873663362. This may (or may not) help your local store check for stock.
The 15% off coupon code can be found at various web-sites, such as <insert name of the latest version of windows here>bargains.com
Well, I hope this overly long post proves helpful to someone.
