Tungsten T2 on sale at CompUSA next week...what do you thi..

I've been looking for a new Palm; have been "eyeing" the announced
specs on the new Tungsten E2.

Now this coming week's flyer for CompUSA shows the T2 on sale at $229
(including a wireless keyboard...not particularly useful to me). This
looks like the opportunity to buy a pretty high-spec'd model, before
new models come out.

Any reason I should delay?
