2007FP was @ $399 today, but now it's back to $449.

2007WFP @ $399

Price is updated on dell.ca


2007FP was @ $399 today, but now it's back to $449.

The 2007WFP was $379.99 past September, not to mention I've seen members post about simply calling in to get the $379.99 price. Sigh~ This was the only thing I was looking forward to too. Just hope that I'll get an IPS panel.

That's also what I'm waiting for. If they are selling 2007FP at $399. 2007WFP should be lower. But anyway, I don't want to wait any more. Overall, it's just $20 difference.

Dell AximTM X51 520 MHz Handheld

are these always on sale at these prices? if not then i guess today's deal are axims because they're on sale now. yesterday the 2407wfp price changed around this time as well.

[s2kdarren]

Yea I notice that it's $399.99 too. I'm pretty disappointed so I guess I'll wait until next year. I was hoping to dump my 2405FPW for some dual 2007WFPs, but I guess I'll wait sine the price isn't that good anyways.

[Shinjieva01]

too lazy to check ... has external hdd made an appearance yet?

[Beradon]

2007wfp for $379? You can get a sammy 205bw for $319 plus $10 shipping.

[kcjchan]

2007wfp for $379? You can get a sammy 205bw for $319 plus $10 shipping.

Does the sammy have Composite + DVI (HDCP) + VGA support? Also, does the sammy support aspect ratios where you can have the monitor add black bars instead of stretching the image? Does it feature a IPS/PVA panel? I guess not.

[Beradon]

Does the sammy have Composite + DVI (HDCP) + VGA support? Also, does the sammy support aspect ratios where you can have the monitor add black bars instead of stretching the image? Does it feature a IPS/PVA panel? I guess not.Yes for the DVI (hdcp) and VGA.

No for the composite but who wants to use that over DVI?
No for ips/pva panels but you saying sammy's lcd screen is inferior to the ips?

Not sure for the aspect ratio but I imagine your software media player could add the black bars.

Now it's a personal qestion of whether the features and $50 price difference of the 2007wfp is worth it over the sammy.

[kcjchan]

Yes for the DVI (hdcp) and VGA.

Exact answer to your question can be found here:
http://www.pureoverclock.com/article637-4.html


Most would agree IPS > PVA > TN
However, this is a matter of constant debate, especially those who expect a IPS panel would not settle for anything less and would rate the PVA very poorly.



I've seen several reviews where it states the 2007WFP stand as rotate-able so that you can put your monitor in a portrait position. Can't seem to find this mentioned on Dell's website so can anyone confirm if they do rotate or not?

[protege2k]

As crappy as some of the other days have been, not a single item on today's even remotely tempts me.


Thanks dell for helping me save money today! (unlike yesterday...)

[raulortega1]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. been waiting for a deal on the creative zen player. WHAT A STEAL! :) thank you dell!!!!!!!!

[Vegeta88]

that Belkin Skype phone looks pretty nice, if only it were cheaper...

or if it could do more than just make Skype calls (and detect for wifi)
probably would pick one up if it could browse the net, or at least check e-mail

[famous_unknown]

I think the Leafs mouse was cheaper a few days ago :confused: :confused: :confused:

[XmsrpX]

I think the Leafs mouse was cheaper a few days ago :confused: :confused: :confused:

i got one of those mouse w/ mathworks/matlab on it for free! it's more like a $5 mouse.

[ktkn]

that Belkin Skype phone looks pretty nice, if only it were cheaper...

or if it could do more than just make Skype calls (and detect for wifi)
probably would pick one up if it could browse the net, or at least check e-mail

I would buy it if it was actually a good deal... I'm actually looking for one of these... anybody else know where there is a good deal on a skype phone?

[Pookapotomus]

I've seen several reviews where it states the 2007WFP stand as rotate-able so that you can put your monitor in a portrait position. Can't seem to find this mentioned on Dell's website so can anyone confirm if they do rotate or not?

Yes, you can pivot the monitor in a portrait position with no problems. I sometimes do it when I do some HTML "programming" with Dreamweaver, etc.

I have two 2007WFP that I bought from Dell's days of deals back then (around June I think) with a few coupon codes. My friend ordered an extra one along with my order and we were able to apply some coupon codes that brought the price for each monitor down to about 350$ each tax inculded. I am now using them and they are great for the price I paid. Really worth the investment.

Sorry if this reply came in late. Better late than never? :cheesygri

[mahjongmaniac]

PURE ORANGE Sports Aqua Mouse - $24


wow... i guess SDM isn't the onlyi place that sells these lol




i think i've seen these advertised in SDM's flyers for $30 reg. price,...

[N8Magic]

Boo, I *need* a new monitor and they keep holding off on the 2007WFP. Any speculation on what the odds are that it comes up in the last 3 days?

Here's hoping! :cheesygri

[KsprayDad]

Most of this has come up for one of the deals....I'm waiting for that iomega ext hdd...baby needs to rip more movies to divx!

http://i.dell.com/images/ca/segments/bsd/ttr_snp_160x500.jpg

[cknewdeal]

Can someone explain to me how these skype phones work. I want to know if it would be worth getting. Thanks.

[Dota]

bleh

[anticupid]

There is a $30 USD mail in rebate for the Skype phone is you sign up for their one year of Skype out. I can not confirm the exact details right now but I think the rebate is from Skype.

If that is the case that would defiantely make this a warmer deal...

Also from what I have read the Beklin Skype is different than most of the other Skype phones in that you can use it WITHOUT a computer.

It also works on 802.11b/g networks and supports WEP/WAP/WAP2.

[Stupy76]

Is it me or it's FREEZING cold in here? :evil:

cknewdeal - Idea is that you don't need your computer to use Skype. You can make calls like any regular phone as long as you're in WiFi range...

[wlee]

If you want it for christmas, sure.

If not: pretty average. I'd wait.

thx, i'll wait a bit longer :D

[ItemFinder]

The Skype phone would be good especially with the rebate, except the battery life is horrible. It averaged 6 hours when not even connected to a Wifi network!

[raulortega1]

It's funny how the company is so horrible because they didn't give YOU what YOU wanted. After all, it's all about YOU right? To be honest, I jumped on today's deal because it was just what i was looking for with the Zen. I researched long and hard and there is no way I could have got it at that price! SOLID DEAL!!! :D :D :D :D

[rEDSpider]

any link to the $30 skype rebate. I'd like to get that phone.

the only rebate i could find was 'NETGEAR' brand/upc specific.

[guyatqueens]

brutal day

[Luidge]

PM BB For 10$ less! Make it a scortching hot deal IMO.

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFS10080442&catid=23693

If i didn't already have a 60GB Ipod i would be all over this one.

[summ]

The Creative player is actually a great deal for 4GB of space, not to mention all the extras (video, fm, voice recording, line in). The interface isn't as smooth as apple's offerings and the screen is only 1.5 inches but comparing it with the nano in terms of features this blows it out of the water.

there's a in-depth review of it here (with video and audio samples):

http://www.epizenter.net/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.21.1

[D-3vil]

The Skype phone can be found on the Belkin website, for $199 US
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=282077

After using web code '12345', price might drop by 40% or so. Factor in shipping, CAD conversion, and tax, and you'll likely be no better off (still worth waiting for the phone to be back in stock though, nothing to lose).

[galanz]

ha ha, same, I need a laser printer really bad!!! 1710 is a perfect one, we use it at work, it rarely have a paper jam.

I just bought the HP 1018 from futureshop for $89. I've used it's bigger brother the 1020 quite a bit and they're troublefree, hopefully the 1018 is as good.
However if I would have been paying more attention I could have bought the same printer from BB for the same price, added $10 more stuff and used the $10 off coupon. :D

[tallshorty111]

Man...this Dell deal has been a load of crap so far. SO dissappointed.

[Impossibles]

I've been waiting and waiting for the Zen V 4GB to come down to ~$150. The 'plus' is a bonus.

That is a very hot price IMO...BB has it for ~$200...cheapest I've seen the V 4GB is $176 at NCIX.

[iFlex]

I saw the hockey mice for $30.00 at SDM.

Makes for a good Stocking Stuffer..

[a&w]

those who are looking for 2007 WFP or FWP (too confusing to remember)
Check the monitors link. I saw it this morning @ $399...$50 off. Keep in mind this was the same price it was Dec. 1-7 (check the e-flyer).

Hopefully it will drop when its officially part of a Day of Deals (only 3 left >:( )

[ttt]

Man...this Dell deal has been a load of crap so far. SO dissappointed.

how can you say that?!?! the maple leaf mouse is an awesome deal :!:

[warthunder2k]

The Skype phone would be good especially with the rebate, except the battery life is horrible. It averaged 6 hours when not even connected to a Wifi network!

I think you are misreading, it's 6 hours of talking and 56hrs+ when not in use. I just read a review about this phone.

[warthunder2k]

Well I just checked on skype.com and the 30$ rebate is for the netgear or smc phone, they have a much worse battery and less features too. So it seems the 30$ rebate can't be applied. Too bad, I would have bought it if it were 139$. Can anyone recommend me a skype phone?

[raulortega1]

I agree. with a coupon i had, i got the thing for $129!! and it's a V PLUS. AWESOME.

[blam]

Zen is a killer price! picked one up for a gift. almost got one for myself as well!

[Kamloops]

Bought the Zen 4g v plus today at FS.

Printed the webpage from Dell walked into FS and they PM'ed. Came to 142.98 plus tax.

[raulortega1]

i would grab 2 if i had the cash - the zen i mean. and sell it on ebay.

[CHINAdeals]

this has got to 'undercompensate' for tomorrow's amazing dell deals?

[Shinjieva01]

Todays deals are so crap :(

[Shinjieva01]

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10072196&catid=10233&logon=&langid=EN

any printer that costs less than the toner is a good price... but seeing as its refurbished... i doubt it will last very long...

[Formula1]

any printer that costs less than the toner is a good price... but seeing as its refurbished... i doubt it will last very long...

It says there are 86 quantities of that printer. Where the hell do they get 86 refurbished printers of the same kind? Are these printers from the factory that didn't pass inspection or whatever that just got fixed or something.

[triggerhorse]

:cry: I agree that these deals today really STINK when you consider that this 12 day thing is suppose to be a really special sale for Xmas.

[EJF777]

wait wait...coupon??

Maybe you can use those one time only 20% coupons? If anyone has an extra and wants to PM me I would be greatful!! I would like to pick up the Zen V Plus player.

[eyey123]

no good deals yet for handheld pda? :mad:

[zabuza]

Great deal on the Zen V Plus.

[sambahill]

Thanks dell! :cheesygri

Went to BBYCA and showed them. The lady said "oh didnt you just pm this?" to another worker. Then they PMed wrong....as expected and had to correct them....

To top it off got a $10 bonfire music card for I dont know what!!:cheesygri

[sannin]

where are all the good laptop deals....>.>

[Aske001]

The Skype phone would be good especially with the rebate, except the battery life is horrible. It averaged 6 hours when not even connected to a Wifi network!

The Belkin phone was just reviewed by the guy who's been reviewing all of them for The Register, and he said that the battery life was very good compared to the competing models. He got about 5 hours of talk time and a couple of days on standby.

He also said that the feature worked fine, unlike some of the previous models from the same source released under different brand names.

Biggest remaining problems: doesn't support text chat, no way to do a browser logon to secure public WiFi network access points (although apparently Belkin has just announced a deal with one provider).

[raulortega1]

:cry: I agree that these deals today really STINK when you consider that this 12 day thing is suppose to be a really special sale for Xmas.


try to find that zen player for a lower price. look at the reviews on head-fi.org, cnet and dapreviews.net for that little beast. if you missed out on this player, kick yourself.

we're not just talking about price here... we're talking about the products they're offering... and not everybody is looking for a zen/zune/zim/zoom... or wutever the hell kids call it these days :D

[malaca]

Oh no, it's all your fault. ;) I bought one!
Couldn't resist.

Hope it's better than the previous models I had:
iRiver button broke
Sandisk crash with certain files
...
so far I went back to FutureShop and was able to return them (way past the first 30 days).
I never owned a Creative MP3 player, (but I don't like creative's soundblaster audio drivers.)
Hopefully it's better than the previous MP3's I've tested.
I don't mean the features, I mean the longevity and firmware support (for bug fix updates)

[Formula1]

Apparently I just got the Zen V Plus for free. I was browsing the accessories hot deals on the side beside the Dell Day's deal and the price of the Zen V Plus was crossed out and beside it it said +save $400 instantly. So i put it in the cart and low and behold it came out to $0 plus free S&H. Got confirmation email too. Details of the savings in the cart says it expires at the end of today.
