Hmm, just had a browse of the Dell Australian web site. They do look like good value. The prices from Dell Australia seem considerably more than form Dell USA:

X30 (312MHz) A$359 (US$270), Dell USA = US$199
X50 (416MHz) A$549 (US$412), Dell USA = US$269
X50 (520MHz) A$649 (US$487), Dell USA = US$359
X50v (624MHz) A$849 (US$637), Dell USA = US$449

These seem to be the only models available from Dell Australia. The last two come with WiFi. The X30 WiFi models do not seem to be available in Australia. These prices include tax and delivery, and currently including free case and headphones. Don't need the headphones since I have my Shure E3's, but they will be appreciated by Mini-NM#1.

Would you pay the extra for the X50v 624MHz? Main difference is the higher resolution screen (480x640). Due to the purchasing options mentioned in my previous post, I can afford to spend A$849, but don't want to be wasting money I don't need to spend.
