Shipping is: 25 Canadian Dollar = 16.97 US Dollar

1 Canadian Dollar = 0.67916 US Dollar
1 US Dollar (USD) = 1.47240 Canadian Dollar (CAD)

US$340 for University Employees (e.g. myself [Smile] ). However, I think the original link was incorrect. When I went to the link from the US, it showed me a price of $118. It's now at $549.

CORRECTION NOTICE

April 7, 2003

Dell has become aware of a pricing error on our website for our Dell Axim X5 handhelds. The incorrect pricing of $89.00 for the 300MHz model and $118 for the 400MHz model resulted from a technical issue with one of our database systems. We endeavor to provide current and accurate pricing information at all times on our website. Nevertheless, such errors do occur. The actual pricing for the 300MHz and 400MHz models is $379 and $549 respectively, exclusive of shipping and applicable taxes. Accordingly, all orders for Dell Axim X5 handhelds with incorrect pricing will not be processed. If your credit card has already been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Please note that individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. Dell is not obligated to sell products based on pricing errors on our website. Dell will endeavor to contact all customers directly who have placed an order to notify them of the current situation and inform them that their orders have not been processed.

We apologize for the error and any inconvenience this may have caused. We thank you for your patronage.

Sincerely,
Home and Small Business Marketing
Dell Computer Corporation, Canada

Its history. Surprising that Dell did not honour their mistake. Once a credit card transaction goes thru, I thought it was a contract of sale. Apparently, Dell can ignore this.

They've never done that. And they already had a couple of pricing mistakes. However, they do say on their website that pricing mistakes can happen and that they will not honor this. There were other cases where pricing mistakes had to be honored after somebody sued the vendor.
