<< HELL YEAH!!!! The manager called me and said that i will get a refund in the form of a check, maybe the BBB, FTC, fox did something. He said that compaq will not do anything about it. YAY! I'll buy a ipaq tomorrow (and open it at the store ) i hope that check actually comes and its not a trick or anything. >>

Heh, I would suggest that you give the cash to your dad, and buy it with his credit card this time.. makes it a lot easier to dispute.

yay Joony! Let us know when you get your refund and make sure their filthy (sandy?) check does not bounce!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

*After* you get the check, make it clear that you still expect to be informed what happened and what their "investigation" uncovered. Getting your money back is a relief but they really do owe you a formal apology and explanation for every step of this tortured journey :|
They wasted your time and energy and majorly disrespected you -- I am so glad you finally stood up for yourself!

If you are dead set on an 3635 ipaq, look for a serial number G14 or later. If you get an earlier one, you could potentially end up like me
