I don't think you've updated it, yet. It still shows as $490.

NOT DELL!
Calling them will be a maze of menus and numbers. you'll never be able to speak with a real operator.
this is just my experience and ive read other dell horror stories too. I ended up regreting on trying to save $$ when i wasted a lot of time trying to check the website if its been shipped yet.
but like i say..thats my experience

RE: NOT DELL!
The compliant link you mention is *nothing* when comparing to other big names, such as Compaq, HP, and Sony.
Buy PC online? Buy it at Dell!
Dell: good service
but this link have people complaining about dells service:"
hey, don't mislead people!
Dell is the number one US computer retailer right now, their customer service is rated one of the best in the industry, so even if 0.1% of their customers have service problems (you cannot satisfy everybody, obviously!) you'll get a large number of complains, like the individual who began this thread.. so keep things in perspective.
Personally I have ordered many things at dell.com and by phone, no problems at all, the phone system is not much different compared to other retailers.
NR70V is officially flawless now.
Liam in N.Y.
how is that possible if the best price with 2 coupons
What's the point of misleading people?
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
10% of $599 is $59.90
$50 off is $50 off.
$599-$59.90-$50=$489.10
Dell said they had it in stock. I've never had a problem with them and I don't think the guy at Dell was misleading me. Even if it ships late, the release date is "supposed" to be May.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
Total was $529.
How are people getting to $489?
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
Perhaps you could say, "Seems like a much better value now." But "officially flawless?" Dell has a "spotty" record when it comes to shipping PDAs. If I were you, I'd wait until I actually have the unit in hand, have used it for about a month, and find it to be near-perfect before I shoot my mouth off.
You'll look pretty silly if:
1) Dell ships late - even later than the May release. ("I don't think the guy at Dell was misleading me." ??? Wow, you're a trusting soul.)
2) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.
3) You get a unit that is somehow faulty due to a "first-run flaw."
4) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.
5) The unit develops a problem over time--after all, the Achilles heel of innovation and function is sometimes stability.
6) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.
Here's hoping your foot doesn't end up in the mouth you've shot off...
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
$50 off, 10% off, no tax, no shipping. Great.
Some poor guy is going to pay $650 (plus tax) next month.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
Officially flawless? You'd better hang on to your m500.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
> or are you billed when it ships?
At least in the US anyhow, I think it is technically illegal for them to bill you before it ships.
50% off does not work - still mislead as far as I am
Why pushing something what does not apply?
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
Go to the dell.com website press the NR70v to add to cart, it will automatically give you a 10%($59.90) off. This will bring the total to $539.10. Now here is the great part go to http://www.techbargains.com/uniquecoupon.cfm , this will give each person that clicks on the link a INDIVIDUAL and UNIQUE coupon code, a code generator basically. Once the coupon code is inputed your total should be $489.10. But for people like me that live in states (Florida) with Dell factorys you have to pay tax. My grand total was $518.45
Hope this helps. )
Freak!
That coupon code does not work at all, why you try to make people believe that you place the preorder at $489.10 ?
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
When I ordered my notebook online on December I had a $50 coupon rebate "preferred customer" or whatever apparently it had already expired, anyway I decided to call them by phone and the sales rep, gave me the discount anyways... he even gave the $100 extra rebate for ordering online only eventhough I ordered it by phone!!
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
“Careful how you phrase things. You haven't received the unit, yet are using the term "flawless" and "officially" in the same sentence. Hyperbole sometimes backfires.”
Officially flawless was meant to be funny. Are you saying the NR70V is garbage? David Pogue of The New York Times reviewed the new Sony. He said, “ Sony is offering you a chance to take home a machine that you might ordinarily encounter on a table at a trade show, labeled ‘Future Concept.’” I’ve read many reviews about the new Sony. Like I said, the only negative comment was the high price. And yes, I want all the extras.
”Perhaps you could say, "Seems like a much better value now." But "officially flawless?" Dell has a "spotty" record when it comes to shipping PDAs. If I were you, I'd wait until I actually have the unit in hand, have used it for about a month, and find it to be near-perfect before I shoot my mouth off.”
Shoot my mouth off? Not sure what you mean. Do you dislike Sony? Or Dell? Sony makes the best consumer electronics - period. I’ve ordered many time from Dell and have no complaints. Dell has no competition.
”You'll look pretty silly if:
1) Dell ships late - even later than the May release. ("I don't think the guy at Dell was misleading me." ??? Wow, you're a trusting soul.)
2) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.

4) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.
5) The unit develops a problem over time--after all, the Achilles heel of innovation and function is sometimes stability.
6) The NR-70V doesn't meet your expectations.”
Look silly? Please!
1)Trusting soul? Guilty on that count. I don’t think Dell or Sony is anxious to screw me.
2,4,6) Doesn’t meet my expectations? Let me see. It has more than twice the resolution (320x480!), twice the processor speed, twice the RAM, MP3, camera, remote, keyboard, jog dial, colour… Shall I go on? And yes, it’s a Sony. Makes my m500 look like a paperweight.
3)First run flaw? It’s a Sony. Have you heard of them? Much more revolutionary than evolutionary.
5) The unit develops a problem over time? True. I might drop it.
”Here's hoping your foot doesn't end up in the mouth you've shot off...”
Sounds very graphic. It’s just a PDA. Don’t try and rain on my parade. I would like to avoid the Sony vs. Palm BS. Should I wait for Palm to release OS 5.0? I’m going gray just thinking about it. The NR70V at $489 is a great deal on a groundbreaking PDA. Case closed. Want to buy my m500?
If you call Dell (and speak to a person) with the code (BE5A578DA205) for the $50 coupon you will pay $489 too. The 10% off is automatic. My credit card has the charge pending today. Dell is 1-800-915-3355. BeSync.Com is correct. You have until 4/19 to take advantage of the discount.
Thanks Ed for the tip. PIC is the best! And no, I am not a freak.
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
"it would be shipped today or tomorrow"
Have you got it in yet? You were way optimistic two day ago...
RE: NR70V is officially flawless now.
I got my NR70V for 489. I had already pre-ordered that at Sony for 650 but then I cancelled the order and got this amazing deal on dell.
Thanks a lot guys...You are great!!

All the hiptop really has to do is pass imported data to the central server via a 2.5g network and redraw the screen with returned data. I'm not really certain however what happens when you leave the network area.
