OfficeMax is sellin the IPAQ 1910 for $299 - $50 gift card. BestBuy won't match to the GC, but ... if you really want this PDA and don't want to mess with the OfficeMax GC and you're willing to spend some time at BestBuy, try this:

buy the IPAQ 1910 at BB for full price ($300).

take it back a few days later and return it. tell them you're returning it 'cause OMax has the $50 GC deal. If you're lucky (I was) they'll offer to match the OMax price +10% and credit you back $55+tax. You just got the PDA for $245+tax with no rebate hassles!!!

Worst case, they won't do the PM, and you have to actually return it. You can still buy it at OMax and get the GC if you want, or just punt on the whole deal.

enjoy!

I have to agree with iwearnosox.

The key words are: "maybe $55 if you're lucky!"

no pricematch or wait for the GC

It is easy to get it for $217. OM has it on sell for $299. Use $50 coupon and then get the $50 GC by rebate... Finally $217 (including tax)

uh, read my original post ... that's whay i'm talking about. but where do you see a $50 coupon? they're not selling the 1910 on their web site so the coupon doesn't do any good!

Definitely not screaming. This has been on here numerous times for $199. I've seen it for even less when ecost had that price mistake.

$250 is pretty much the standard price considering you can almost always get it at Staples, OM or OD with a $50 coupon.

Also the H1910 is hardly brand new. It's been out for over four months now.

This is a warm deal. The H1910 isn't "brand new," but there's nothing better to replace what it does right now.

is there any method right now to get it cheaper? if not, is there any info about the possibility of getting it cheaper in the near future?

Best (Worst) Buy will most likely slap you with a 15% restocking fee if you try to return it simply because OM is offering a GC, since they wouldn't pricematch the GC in the first place.

Call up OM and place your order over the phone. They'll accept the coupon.

Btw... The 1910 rocks! :D

Has anyone been able use their MSN Wallet money with this? OfficeMax $50 Giftcard and $50 off of $250 or more, plus MSN Wallet would make this pretty hot. Starting March 16th, the 1910 will have the $50 gift card again.
