I assume Dell ships >PDAs always with the latest versions. Is this correct? I would think yes. Plus Mobile 2003 only runs reliably with ROM A05. If not, they have a money back guarantee, but I doubt you will have a problem. I purchased a refurbished unit and it looks , feels amd works like a brand new unit. In fact I often purchase from the Dell Refurbishe Outlet since they maintain the exact same same standards for new or refurbished and the warranty is also exactly the same. If they get an unopened box back from a customer, the unit has to be sold as a refurbished. Obvisouly your mileage may vary, but I have absolutley no qualms from buying Dell refurbished items. (directly from Dell). Best, Michael > >Michael
