I just bought a Tungsten E at overstock.com for $100.  It's better than 
my previous Tungsten and cost 1/3 as much.  It was a refurb unit that 
was supposedly blemished (still can't find the blemish, except for the 
big gooey sticker on the back).  It came with the power supply, USB 
cable (no stooopid proprietary power/data cable), cover, stylus (1) , 
and CD.
