Just ordered a compact-flash gps for dell axim from PROVANTAGE...I thought it was a good deal so I wanted to share it with y'all.
pharos cf-gps for dell axim with mobile pack (antenna, car adapter). Pharos is selling it for over $300 at its website but provantage.com has it for $236 PLUS take off $30 as mail-in rebate.

Beware of provantage's customer service though...they don't reply to emails and their phone service sucks worse than Monica Lewinsky. I wanted to confirm the contents of the order on the phone before clicking on the order button...took me 27 minutes to get to speak to a real person...he had NO idea what was in the box. great service huh!

not yet. just ordered it an hour ago but they did already ship it (they have their good and bad points I guess). Shipping was reasonable too...$8. It is 3-5 day shipping so let's see.
The guy did say that the part number for Pharos was PFD 22 which on pharos' website is the cf-gps with mobile pack and sells for $319.

WOW! got my Pharos CF-GPS around 6:00pm today! been playing with it since...gadgets are soooo cool. I ordered it yesterday, it arrived today, and I only paid standard shipping.

Package contents:
Pharos CF-GPS receiver
Ostia Mapping Software with US territory maps
Car charger for Axim
External Antenna for GPS (I used it for my test drive)
Car A/C Vent Mount for PDA

Price Paid: $240 with shipping but this is BEFORE $30 rebate.
Vendor: Provantage.com

Pros: Delivery timing great, ordering fairly easy if online only
Cons: Phone service is pathetic.
Overall, great value for money. Only $210 for a wireless GPS & car charger plus mount.
For those of you who don't end up wimming the Pharos GPS giveaway, the $30 rebate is effective if you buy before Sept. 30.

Glad it worked out for you. Let us know how the actual GPS works out for you. Does it compare to the review that is on this site?
