Title: PDA Help (Stupid stores)
Post by: Demonwench on 2004-01-18, 23:45
Okay, so I live in the middle of podunk Kansas.  I need a PDA, palm, whatever you want to call it, for my senior year.  I decided I want the IPaq HP4155.  So I drive to the "Big City" to get one.  And?  Neither of the stores, Office Depot or Best Buy, had it.  I'm very annoyed.  It's not every weekend I have time to pop off to the city.  So, I guess I need to order it online.  Whatt I need to know is, What is a good, reliable internet place to order it and some of the fixings to go with it?

I professionaly buy alot of stuff from CDW.  I haven't checked to see if they carry that, but they carry alot of that kind of stuff.
Of course, I have an account manager, so maybe I get special treatment, but the other reps I've talked to there seem to have been pretty professional.
Does Amazon carry it?
Maybe Newegg?
Just throwing ideas out...

Newegg is one of the best online stores out there. It's cheap, reliable, hassle-free, and often has very cheap shipping prices.

Also, bestbuy and Circuit City have their own websites where you can order things, I believe

Yes, NewEgg is good.  I use them a lot and I've never once had a problem with them.

I believe this is the item you're looking for.
