BargainPDA.com reported yesterday that Dell has cancelled a number of orders for Axim X3i PDAs that had been accepted previously because the price listed on Dell’s website was incorrect. According to the article, the Axim X3i was priced at $79 for a period of time.
A previous article on BargainPDA.com indicates that the $79 price was listed for 12 to 18 hours on November 24, and briefly reappeared on November 25 before disappearing entirely. It is unclear how many orders were placed for the Axim X3i at that price
Customers who think that Dell should honor these prices reportedly complained to the Federal Trade Commission, the Better Business Bureau, and the Attorneys General of several states. Discussions of the situation on Dell’s support website have been closed down, although many comments are still available.
