D800SG is the same device at Best Buy and Car Toys.

Best Buy planned for a Limited Edition but it never materialized. Apparently some of their web correspondence has not been changed yet. |

Just received the "Shipped" email from Car Toys. Placed the order on 2/27 and was able to take advantage of Amazon discount and no tax.
Thanks to Paulie for the pointer. BTW, BestBuy has 800's back in stock. |

The dictionary is more curious. I still think this is something that they intended to have, but either wasn't ready or had problems. Last edited by Shaggy; 03-02-2010 at 02:44 AM. |

The Amazon checkout option/discount may be gone, but since it's a) in stock, b) no tax for me, and c) free UPS ground shipping, I pulled the trigger. I've been waiting for a larger screen for my reading pleasure and I don't need frills (dictionary look-up? I've never had to look up a word on my Kindle2, ever). So this iRex looks like it'll suit me well.
Thanks for the tip on the Car Toys retailer. |

Mine came today. No problem crossing the border. In fact I was surprised to find that there was no duty on electronics so my total was $393 delivered including Washington sales tax and $44 sales tax for Canada at the border. I'm charging right now but can see already that I am in the market for a better cover, hope there is something other than the white one on the Irex site to be had.

Good to see more users joining the ranks of DR800S/SG owners.

Covers were discussed a bit in another thread, but there aren't any good 3rd party options that I know of right now. I'd keep an eye out for M-Edge to create one though, they've done covers in the past for both of iRex's other devices.
