Yeah, the bidding was so low on this one that I couldn't resist. Most of 'em were going for about $130, and some over $200. I ended up paying $81. But I had to go to work a couple of hours before bidding ended, and given the last-minute bidding frenzies on the last two 6651s I've found, I expected to come back home to find that I'd been outbid. I was bidding on the GPS at the same time and, no surprise, I was outbid on that. (The bids have been going consistently higher than Geeks.com's selling price. I finally ordered one directly through this vendor.)

Got mine today (along with my 200LX and D-Link card). Problem is, it comes with very little documentation, and no contact Web address or phone number. I'm still trying to figure out how to initialize it myself.

No,
I ment i went out side my apartment to try it but it wouldnt pick up any sattlites, perhaps a bad area?

the second unit gave me the same results so i have to assume that it is the area and not the units.....

I havent gone outside the apartment parking lot to test it is what i mean

I've been really busy the past several days and haven't had a chance to test mine - or to figure out how to initialize it. As soon as I start making progress I'll let you all know . . . .
