It was delisted for a while, but now it's back. $474 - $50 Amazon.com rebate - $50 Toshiba rebate = $374 with free shipping.


Comp-U-Plus has it for $399 with the $50 Toshiba rebate:

So you get $75 back with BVG or just buy it straight from them for $349 after rebates without BVG. Shipping was $17 to CA.

Man - I *just* about order this thing every time a good deal comes up on it... Anybody know if there is a clip-on-keyboard for it yet ?

I bought mine from compuplus about a week and a half ago for $379, and I love it. I would have bought the e330 but it's only about $50 cheaper, even though the msrp is about $200 cheaper.

I'm not sure what kind of keyboard you're refering to, but www.pocketop.net makes a keyboard for it that uses the IR port. I would really like to try the flexis keyboard, but they won't have one out until early next year.

how is pocketpc, and in particular toshiba, with upgrades for these devices? i know ive seen compaq give away the latest edition of software before, does anyone know if the same is true for toshiba?

also. ive heard batter life with this one is terrible (i assume if youre using the onboard wifi), true?

Can someone explains more on how the AMEX BVG works?

So you get $100 back with BVG. Anyone know if they count in shipping with BVG? Shipping is about $17 for me there.
No, they don't count shipping with BVG. But I would not make a BVG right now, because the prices for Pocket PC's are gonna go down this christmas season with the introduction of PPC's from Dell with low prices. Make a printout of the site with the price of $399 and hold it until the close of 60 days (the time AMEX BVG gives you), and make more printouts of lower prices within this 60 day period, until say day 59 and give them a call. That way you can save more if the unit goes down in price, which I think it will.

Which AMEX has BVG?

 

[9ball]

Comp-u-plus does have a $50 rebate, so the final cost (excluding sh and tx if any) is only $349!!!!!!!

Cool, they just added the rebate link today. It wasn't there last night so I didn't know if it qualified.

*Updated thread title*

AMEX Rewards Gold, Business Gold, and Starwood Preferred Guest have BVG AFAIK.
