Why is your price different?

Shipping €0.00
Subtotal €503.36
VAT €95.64

TOTAL €599.00
Coupons: € - 320.00
Basket Total: €279.00

And actually when I go go to the checkout they add shipping bringing it to €294.08

Soory if this is a stupid question, but I've never used one. Would it work for pop3 accounts on the meteor, o2 and vodafone. Would they give you the setting you'd require etc.

Doesn't make sense to me I'm afraid. Isn't it €279 + shipping costs? (Actually I came up with €294.08 - €12.46 = €281.62.)

does this ship from uk or usa (then there would be customs charges):(

Perhaps they've changed it since he posted it. I'm tempted but...

I was going to buy one of these on O2 at €550 anyway, so I'll probably go for it meself.

In case you're not aware, they're probably discounting them because the handset is going to be discontinued, to be replaced by the Windows Mobile powered Treo 750.

Sorry for not responding earlier - been offline.

Offer is direct from Palm to European customers.

e599 list - e320 discount = e279 + shipping

Good from Oct 18th to midnight Oct 24th.

Did not go for it as moved back to the blackberry.

No idea how much the shipping works out.

Imagine they are winding down inventory before newer models hit the market.

Given direct from Palm they are unlocked so will work on any network.

Hope this helps.

I'm tempted because I don't like carrying around my PDA and phone. I wouln't use the email side that much but I'd use the PDA part. I'd miss the 2mp camera from my K750i though. I use that a lot. Anyone here have one?

I guess noone got one then...
