Thanks for the post. Decided to go for this instead of the Visor Deluxe or Platinum I was targeting. Now that the Palm IIIxe is $50 and $100 cheaper than those models (if you were to use the same coupon at Amazon), I'll use the money saved on yet another techdeal. :)

Do you have to buy at Computers for sure to get the rebate -- I do not even see the rebate on Palm's site if you buy directly from the manufacturer ......

Can anybody verify that the MIR is real? I called the 877-number listed and it didn't go through. Anybody?

Yes, the MIR is real! I saw at least three B&M stores advertise the Palm IIIxe for $249 - $50 MIR in this past weekends flyers. Check out SalesCircular.com to confirm.

I will also confirm that the MIR is for real, as the online MIR from Computer4sure does NOT say anywhere on it that it must be purchased from them. It is a Palm rebate, not one from Comp4sure, so I don't see how they could pull that anyway. Also, if anyone is interested, I just picked up the MIR from the CompUSA B&M (as someone already mentioned earlier) store a couple hours ago. The local Best Buy would only give it out at the register, but CompUSA has a stand with all their rebates in it. It all looks in order. Thanks once against PicPop, I know more than one of us that had already been looking into getting a Palm are very grateful!

Can you tell me what you guys doing with this thingie?

I would like one, but if it is only a fancy schedule calendar, and address book, I will wait until the WinCE staff go down in price.

Has anyone gotten a shipping confirmation? I placed an order late, here's hoping they don't run out of stock and cancel the order (otherwise my sister won't have a Christmas present :()

I ordered mine also on 12/3 and got a shipping confirmation at the end of that day.

Went back to Best Buy, where Sunday they had them for $199, then you use the rebate to get it for $149, and the price was back up to $249.

I asked if my raincheck that stated $199 ($149 after rebate) was still going to be good. The salesman said "I guess so."

I asked why the price was so low on Sunday. He said something about a "Market Reaction" and that they then raised the price later.

Any ideas as to what a market reaction would be besides "BUY, BUY, BUY!"?

Guys got your palmIIIxe, which kind of battery are you planning to use on this new toy.
regular, Ni-cad, NIMH? Does it really last long with regular AAA?
