Subject: Where to buy a Palm, US or London (or)?

Go up one level in this thread


Certainly not Israel, as they cost almost 50% more, and are less well stocked on
some brands.
But I anyway expect to be in the US in a few weeks from now, and to be returning
through London, a few weeks later.

And, yes! for 150 elo points I'd like to get another Palm.

So where shall I buy? Last time I was in the US and came back through London for
a few days, I saw better prices AND better service in Tottenham Court Road.
And possibly even, better stock, and range.

One reason could have been because it was already a few weeks later than when I
went shopping in the US. Well, certainly a few DAYS later.

And they are much more patient and polite, AND informed in Tottenham Court Road
in Londom, or so it seems to me.

So I would choose London. All this goes for other items like CD or MD players
and recording devices, telephones, etc.

Does anyone disagree with me, in any aspect?

And, What can I expect to find in 8-10 weeks from now?
1) A wide range of 200Mhz. Palms?
2)reasonable "     "     "      "   At falling prices?
3) Some, fully functioning 400mhz. models?
4)Many   "      "      "      "     "
5)Some   "      "      "      "     " At falling prices?

Thanks for any educated guesses or advice!
