N800-When/Where to buy?
 

The prices on the N800 have been oscillating on TigerDirect (239.99 yesterday and 2 days ago and 219.99 on other days) and have been around 225 shipped+taxes (if not much more) almost everywhere after relevant coupons etc...

My question is this:
A) What's the best place to buy the n800 from (especially return-wise if the WiMax version comes out)
B) Should I wait for the WiMax version until April 1 for the price of the N800 to drop? I know the N800 went down to 180 when the N810 came out, but will we see a similar/lower drop if WiMax is announced on April 1?

Thanks for your opinions

Cheers!

I checked over at CompUSA and they have it for $239.99 as well, but if you pay using PayPal you can get 10% off ($20 max) - so that takes 'er down to $219.00, which isn't too shabby!

I'm stocking up - you never get 10% off anywhere anymore it seems - at least on electronics!

After shipping, Buy.com - $10 coupon (available almost everywhere on the internet) is 218.99 which is cheaper.

The Compusa site looks eerily similar to the tigerdirect site, so maybe we may be able to snag an n800 for a little over 200 if the prices vary together (and drop to 219.99 before the paypal offer)

I'm waiting for the weekend :)

Cheers!

That's because Systemax (Tiger Direct's parent company) just acquired CompUSA, or at least the 16 CompUSA stores that didn't close when the company went under.

Just ordered mine from buy.com, using the 'revolutioncard'? for a $50 discount and bring this down to $228.99 - $50 = $178.99 with free S/H. $50 discount good till end of April.

Can we expect the price of the unit to go down further in the coming weeks?

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

I am also interested in buying the N800. I heard you can get it well under $200 if you look around. However, have yet to find any store with it under $200. Any suggestion would be welcomed! TY.

I've been following their ebay auctions and the lowest best offer they have accepted has been $170. I saw two sell at that offer price. Good luck.

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

Those units are not brand new.

Thanks for the link gemnii42!

The overstockdealz says its "like new". I am guessing it open box that has been repacked. Any idea what condition it is at? I will probably just shoot those guys at overstockdealz an email, never shopped there before.

I also did look at ebay. Most things that sell low are over used. Some of new things go for high prices like $240+! Ebay doesn't seem to have too good of a deal on it.

Check Dell.com

The n800 is now $199.99. Shipping is just a few bucks extra (inside the US).

I would much rather spend $200 for something that is backed by Dell than $180 for an open box special at overstockdealz or eBay.

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

Agreed, quite a nice deal.

I might have to hit it - depends if I find an iPAQ 211 to mess around with tomorrow at Staples.

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

I think the "well under $200" estimate was too optimistic. There have been offers for less than $200, but they aren't that common and they are fleeting. Buy.com would be the first place I would check; It has offered them for special sales at or below $200 for brief times.

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

At Dell, since I am Texas looks like I have to pay tax. It comes out to $216.49 total.

Overstockdealz has make an offer. I was thinking giving them a $150 or so. Not sure if they will actuallly accept it though...

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

my offer of $160 a couple of weeks ago was not accepted.

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

Well I will see if the cell phone store takes my htc touch back tomarrow and I will be ordering one. Since I told myself first time its under 200 bucks. I am going to get one. O and have i said how much i hate mobile ie. lol

Re: N800-When/Where to buy?
 

I sold my n800 when I got my HTC Touch. Not because it was a replacement, but because I tend to play w/ gadgets for a while and move on. I certainly miss my n800 from time to time, but I get over it.

What don't you like about the phone? It's certainly the coolest of the smartphones (I have to have a smartphone or blackberry for work).

sorry for hijacking this thread...first i dont even have edge here. The processor is 2x on the nokia. Along with a better screen and full html sites. Java...flash...sd instead of micro sd. I cant run 3rd party aps on it threw my $6 gprs plan. You have to have the $20 plan. Same with push email. I dont need this for work. Its a "toy". And for what I use it for the n800 would be a better fit for me.
