    Looks like a great deal, haha. Wonder if it would work with the devil (Verizon) :p At that price, it would be worth snagging before upgrading to the Pre. I would be Dell would issue a refund and cancel the order if it was in fact a pricing error.

    I was thinking the same thing. I am a Palm (RIP) guy, one of the few. Been using it for seven years and have yet to find a better instant-on system. Besides, the fees verizon would charge me to switch phones may not be worth it. They have an open the door fee, take a number fee, etc. :D

    Advertising for sales threads is not allowed. If you want to sell on NBR, read the BST rules in the Marketplace forum.

    When Dell does these screwups, your order always gets canceled. This is just another one of their false advertising games just to get site traffic. They do it quite often.
