I decided to take a shot and mailed in an application today for the Palm IIIe under code DW1. I still have my doubts that it will come from all I've read about Citi f/i, but when I called them, they said that the offer was valid until 7/30, and if I mailed in the application soon enough, I would receive my Palm in 60 days or less.
We had quite a long conversation about the various accounts, etc, but I was surprised to learn that they couldn't process an application over the phone--I'd still have to go to the web, print it out, and use snail-mail. Even though I'm using my AMEX to fund the account. They said it was because they needed a signature, but I think there has to be a better way.
I'm new to the handheld assistant world, so I thought this would be a good way to learn a bit before buying a more serious piece of machinery.
Would love to hear if anyone's actually gotten their's yet though.
