roddy Posted August 19, 2005 at 06:58 AM Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 at 06:58 AM That company have a main office somewhere in Beijing, but also a store in 百脑汇 east of Chaoyang subway station. That's where I picked up a PDA a while back - they're ok, I never had to take it back with any problems though, which is when issues often arise. There are a few places selling PDAs in Baonaohui, just do your price checking on the internet and then shop around. I find that on fairly expensive items like PDAs you get quoted a reasonable price right away, and there's limited bargaining to be done - I think they assume you'll have checked prices already. Smaller stuff like memory cards and cables are where you are more likely to get the '1000Y . . oh, ok, 20Y' kind of fun. EDIT: That now sounds ridiculously trusting. Suspect everyone.

badr Posted August 19, 2005 at 03:02 PM Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 at 03:02 PM thank you guys. I'm not in beijing right now but i'll be there monday just to buy the PDA. I'm not worried about taking the PDA back as I can always send it to Palmone under warranty. P.S: Where is baonaohui ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfer Posted August 22, 2005 at 01:21 PM Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 at 01:21 PM I've found that Chinese prices for electronic items like PDAs and mobile phones are usually 20 percent or more above US prices. Perhaps the retailers have some corrupt agreements. Anyway I have much better luck using eBay china. The prices are usually better than in the US. And shipping is not a problem. Might pay to have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badr Posted August 24, 2005 at 11:53 AM Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 at 11:53 AM thanks guys, I ended up getting the tungsten E2. I wanted the zire72 but everyone kept saying that it is discontinued... oh well. I'm a happy camper now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
