HP PDA with Tomtom 6 UK £128

A better buy than a tomtom ONE, you can watch films, play music and put on lots of other useful software. I think you should be able to use it as a handsfree for your mobile as well which you can't do with the TT ONE.

The advert does say "with your maps installed" so I read that as the application is installed, but you have to add maps purchased separately - If I am wrong this must be the bargain of the year - Mike

Thanks

It's gone from the Expansys site. I reckon it must have been a mistake, I can't find it anywhere else even close to that price.

I hope those of you that ordered it in time manage to get it!

I was thinking that it's too cheap and must be a mistake, but I ordered it anyway.

I think they may have removed the item not because of the price but because they are having problems getting the stock, and have too many customers waiting.

I placed an order with them on the 1st May, and noticed that the order tracking was stuck saying "Estimated 2 Days", so I sent them an e-mail. This is the reply:

I hope they put it back on the site once they've got stocks in then. I won't hang around next time - I'll put my order in straight away!

[quote="portman"]Now with £30 cashback from Hewlett Packard.

I spoke to Expansys about this, and it's bad news, I'm afraid.

Reference section 3 on the claims form states:

"Purchases direct from HP distribution partners are ineligible"

I asked Expansys how they are classed as selling products from HP, and was told they are a Distribution Partner.

No £30 rebate I'm afraid Sad

Ebuyer.com have the HP Ipaq Rx5935 travel companion in stock

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/118914

However at £297 (ex VAT) it's not exactly a steal, but if you think back in the day I paid £300 for my old Ipaq 3870, then another £50 for my SD Card and £150 for my TT3 and wired GPS it is still quite cheap.

STOP PRESS

Was looking on Amazon and they had a sponsored link to TotalPDA !! They are selling the HP Ipaq rx5720 for £175 (inc VAT) and you can save a tenner using google checkout !! Shame I don't really need one :-)
