motorola talkabout - $30 at dsports after coupon.

[Holycrap]

I'm posting this with Fatwallet referral links as that is how you can grab the coupons since I can't post the coupons here. Of course, you can just go to Dsports and grab the coupons from wherever you would like.

FW Links with $20 coupon popup:

Link 3


The talkabout radio is on the main page (scroll down to the deal).
You'll need to add something to get you over the $50 minimum. The cheapests I've found is shoelaces for 96 cents or golf tees for 99c cents. Search for LACES or GOLF TEES to find them.

Anyone wanna bet how long this will take to:
a. be posted on another particular site that keeps spamming here with old deals and
b. posted by that same person on other deal sites as "as just posted on dealXXXXX.com?

Anyone?

Is that the T250? If so, you can tack on a $10 rebate from Motorola (4 per customer). The rebate form is on their website..

 

[sygyzy]

Yup it's the Talkabout 250 according to the picture. How great of a deal is this? It's basically $20 after rebate plus shipping. Should we grab this to add to our Panasonic radios from Amazon?

sygyzy - LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing.

My three black Panasonic 320's should arrive anyday now!

 

[Holycrap]

It does not appear to be the 250, if you look at pictures on the motoral site - perhaps it is the older 200 - for which the rebate still applies.

I was about to say the same thing...the Talkabout being sold by Dsports is the "Talkabout Plus" - which is a bit different from the T250 as the previous poster said.

From what I've found with brief Google search, the T200 appears to be a model released in other countries - it shows up on a couple of "foreign" web pages.

 

[Cybordolphin]

Hmmmm... the codes are not working...?

Well the first one did not... but the second one seems to.

 

[CyberTiger]

this is definitely the talkabout plus instead of the 250...

 

[Cybordolphin]

Are they any good!?

Any reviews...?

 

[sygyzy]

Argh! I am so sorry guys! I checked the Motorola page and the dsports page and at first glance they looked really similar!

RossMan, I bet you'll get yours before mine. I ordered last Friday but I combined orders with a car adapter for a cell phone. Turns out it was backordered (said in stock on site). Since then I have seperated the orders so my Panasonic's barely shipped!

 

[Ogewo]

You guys sure this is the t200? All is says is talkabout plus, and that model is NOT LISTED on the motorola coupon.

 

[RossMAN]

sygyzy - Bummer you probably live more than two miles away from me (Portland, Oregon) we could chat on our walkie talkies! LOL. Hope you get yours soon.

Got my pair of Panasonic TR325S from Amazon yesterday, the size might be smaller than Motorola 250. The depth is about 1.25 inch without belt clip, not 1.75 as described in Amazon.

 

[sygyzy]

RossMan, Well I am two hours north of Los Angeles, but that's still a tad bit more than 2 miles hehe.

It's interesting that everyone that got the Panasonics say it's smaller than the 250's but have you seen the pics on Amazon? They make it look huge!

 

[Cybordolphin]

Syg... how far are you from North Ranch...?

 

[sygyzy]

I am going to school at UCSB in Santa Barbara. Do you know where that is?

 

[Cybordolphin]

Yep....

I grew up sailing all around the Channel Islands.

Know the area well.

Good to know ya!

 

[Valkore]

I grew up in Thousand Oaks, CA. Just thought I might share that.

 

[sygyzy]

Rossman - I got my two Panasonics today! They are alot smaller than the pictures make them out to be. They are super light without batteries and a comfortable weight with the 3 AA's. I also found out the Amazon ships from Southern California so I basically got mine in about a day and a half! I love it! So far the range and all the features are very cool. However, when you flip that little thing down for the Privacy Mode, it doesn't do jack. You can do the same thing without it flipped down. It has no functionality difference at all.

Cybordolphin - Very nice. We should get together sometime. I am going to Santa Maria tomorrow for a BBQ.

Has anybody received theirs yet? If so, how do they compare to the 250s??
