My rx3115 refurb.

It was 239 plus shipping. But I never tried the MP3 feature since battery time is only hours and I use it for wifi, not mp3.

Cheers,

Bob

To be what im looking for, anyone else find a similar one any cheaper?

Yes...

But it would likely involve a stick and a dark alleyway.

While that's probably the best deal you'll be able to find (how much does a 2x4 cost now-a-days? Devil), you may also want to check out Ebay. For a new unit from Palm, Hp, Dell, etc, expect to pay at least $300, plus extra for any/all accessories. With online auctions you can usually find pretty good deals on used PDAs. For instance, there is currently a ''like new'' Dell Axim X30 High going for $186 on Ebay. Just remember that you're dealing with other individuals, not well-known businesses...buyer beware!

Hope this helps,
John
