Oops.  You might want to think twice.  A couple of points:

1) It's very unlikely that it's V.3.2 - all of the unices for the 7300 have
   been V.2 based and I don't think they rewrote it. Maybe they did - anyone
   know for sure?

2) If you are an AT&T employee the price is about $1000.  Got any friends?

It is a nice deal, by the way, but remember that this is out of date stuff.
It still beats the pants off an AT but compare it to a sun/3 and it doesn't
look as good.  Cheaper, though, much cheaper.
