I was bought one of these by work and for the first couple of weeks i thought it was brilliant. however the novelty factor can soon wear off. It is virtually impossible to use pocket word or excel for anything meaningful as it will drive you insane attempting to use the onscreen keyboard. It is also worth bearing in mind that when entering passwords, if someone else is watching the screen, they will get it straight away due to the speed that you can type on the device.
Screen size and clarity is surprisingly good and though a few people have commented that the text is too small, I dont share this view.
Where these things come into their own is for the diary and online functions. With full wifi and bluetooth support most websites will load up as they do on a standard pc. (some however do have problems). Add to this, the pocket version of MSN and the X30 caters for the businessman and teenager alike.
The Axim can be hooked up to your PC via the supplied USB cradle and a copy of Microsoft activesync if your PC does not support bluetooth. The X30 comes with 64MB onboard memory but can be increased by using a standard SD card.
The X30 is designed nicely and fits comfortably into the part of your hand.
Battery life is good but can be substantially reduced when using wireless.
Personally, I prefer the x30 to the newer x50 which I have also used. Overall, not a bad device which will still compete with newer models, even 3 years after its release.
