What I'm wondering is what kind of packaging it comes in. I'd like to take it to Compusa and buy the warranty, but I don't know if they will allow it if the unit is obviously "refurbished". The NX70 price on Overstock is very tempting. Anyone tried this?

I was told (after waiting a couple of weeks) that the unit that I ordered was on a truck that was stolen along with all the other PDA's that people had ordered. I think that was kind of a lame excuse for overselling a product. David

The packaging was the same as factory, except no ads on it...just brown cardboard. But there was the UPC with serial number on the outside. The one I bought, then sold, was advertised as looking new...and it did look brand new. The price I paid was $199, I sold it for $225 on Amazon Marketplace. But you could get a refurbished one for $199 from sonystyle.com at that time. So you might want to check the sonystyle site, too. __________________ Elaine "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Ditto, except I got mine from uBid. Probably fed from the same source. The unit was flawless, and has been a reliable companion ever since. BTW, it is a T615.

The unit arrived one week after I purchased it. Shipping was only $4.00 and the unit came in a genuine Clie box, not a brown one like my refurb'd 415 did. BTW, I paid $179.00 for it. David

henrichd Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 3	Overstock.com units I received my NX70 from Overstock today ( paid $440 with Fed Ex second day shipping ). It did come in a brown box, apparently directly from Sony ( it had Sony tape sealing the box ). All of the accessories, manuals, etc. were included and even sealed like new. Now, does anyone know, if I goto Compusa to buy the PDA plan, does the unit have to be in the box? Or will they just check a "unit only" and make sure it is in good condition, etc. thanks!
