[DreamInBlue]

Hi Bestbuy.com has a great deal going on the Clie SJ30. It is $219.99 shipped and you also get a $50 Digital Coupon good towards a future purchase at Bestbuy.com. And if you are interested in any other PDA's you get the $50 Digital Coupon for any PDA over $200.

Nice deal

Might also want to consider the Sony Clie T665C, which has an MP3 player, movie playback, and a faster processor.

$300 - $10 off $75 (Amazon coupon) - $25 (Amazon rebate) = $265
Free shipping and no tax except in WA.

I personally am torn between this and the HP Ipaq 1910 (thread here), which goes for the same price as the T665C.

Any opinions on the 1910 vs 665?

Hard to choose, clie has better display (bigger) while a pocket pc gives you more expandability. E.g. you can program java on a hp 1910 easily.

how to program java on the h1910?

A friend had to buy a SJ30 right after Xmas for her work. She's not gonna be happy.

Ev0lution9: I've been fighting the urge to get the T665 for a couple of weeks now. I feel a price drop coming and the Amazon rebate seems to confirm this. A lot of stores don't even list it anymore, like Beast Buy, though they have them in stores. Also, Circuit City and CompUSA have "cut" their prices from $400 to $300. (Yeah, it's already $300 and Amazon and BB.) Where is the $10 off coupon at?

I'd really like a Palm OS 5 unit, but so far, only the expensive ones have it. Drat.

maybe you can get it lower at best buy. I think staples or officemax has them on their site for $150. pricematch and then use the $50, for a $100 net outcome. I'm thinnking of giving with my brothers to my mom.

Thanks for the input.

I got the 665 because it's for my girlfriend. I figure the Palm OS is easier to use and more reliable than the PocketPC 2K2.

Those Palm OS 5 models are way too expensive, although a guy on the CNET forum review for the 665 says he was able to flash his to OS 5 with Hackmaster. Seems awfully shady since OS5 is designed for a different processor (ARM).

Still, OS5 has been out since what... June 2002??? And OS6 is planning to be released half way through this year??? How can we get those if we can't afford the handheld? Ok, that's my rant...

For those who want the Amazon coupons, go to dealc@tcher.com and click the Amazon link on the left hand side. Search the page for a "amazon coupons $5 off $35, $10 off $75" thread.

I bought the t665 to use for school from Dell last month and got it for $255 after some coupons. (I run a lot of medical applications such as pharm references and Clinical consults) and its suited my needs perfectly. Right now Dell small business has it for $254.96, no rebate needed. I don't know how much tax and shipping will add on to it though.
