Dell Axim X3

Advantages: Thin and lightweight.
Disadvantages: No backup battery. Can accidentally be wiped when battery runs out.

I evaluated the Dell Axim x3 for my workplace for various tasks such as a using it as a personal diary and installing work applications. I found it was extremely easy to use (I was a first time PDA user) and I was soon using all the features of the software it provided. The PDA is extremely easy to use and set up. I almost didnt need a manual for reference. I did not have an SD card and so the memory on it was very limited. I would recommend buying ...
...going to be storing large files on it. The large screen is very clear to view applications and can be adjusted for brightness and power saving options. The built in WiFi (Wireless network card) was very reliable as I used it to connect to my office network. I could then view websites with the PDA which was extremely fast. It also formated each page to view on a small screen. One disadvantage was the battery. There was no backup battery like some ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use, good battery life, reliable!
Disadvantages: Have yet to find any.

...ebay. I am not sure Dell are still producing the X3i but there are various retail sites still offering the basic PDA for around £200. Bluetooth and wifi are standard on the X3i. Have yet to use the wifi but the bluetooth works a treat. It's a bit slow but you can download your emails just about anywhere so long as you have service on your blueooth mobile phone. Battery life seems to be excellent with a relatively quick recharge time. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent performance PDA
Disadvantages: No upgarde to windows mobile 2003 SE

I bought the Axim X3 a year after i had bought the X5. Comparing the two products the X3 has improved greatly in its design, almost halfing the depth of the device. The hardware has additional buttons that you can customise in the setup. The PDA has a changable battery and a backup battery that recharges. The backup battery will last for 30 minutes and after that you will loose all data. The in-built memory is enough is you are not intenting to ...
...TomTom Navigator on it so I got a 512 MB SD Card. The X3 only allows SD memory expantion. After using this modle for about a year I have only had it crash on me about 3 times. You can communicate with otherdevices by the standard infrared port, cradle or optional wireless. As a conclusion this is one of the best PDA i have used. It is suitable for home or enterprise use. If I ever wanted to upgrade in the future I would definitly get another Axim ... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to use/navigate
Disadvantages: Can't think of any!

My husband bought me a Dell Axim for my birthday last year and I love it to pieces! It's my first PDA and for someone with limited PDA-ing experience, its great as its very easy to navigate to whatever you want. Mine has the smallest memory possible and I haven't filled it yet. I guess it all depends on what you use it for. It's that good I got my hubby to buy himself one (with bluetooth and Tom Tom sat nav), he also thinks its great although did ... Read review

Advantages: Looks great, works flawlessly, has wireless AND bluetooth
Disadvantages: Dell customer service isn't great when buying...

...I bought my Dell Axim X30 just over 3 months ago, and I absolutely love it. I did a lot of research in order to choose this particular model, and in the end I opted for it because I could get a 624MHz processor with bluetooth, wireless and a cradle for a similar sum as a lower-spec X50. It's considerably cheaper than many similar products produced by other companies. The only downside is the Dell customer service. It really isn't as good as it should be. It's impossible to speak to the same person twice, so if you have a query you can rarely resolve it. Dell uses foreign call centres, and there is a definite feeling that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. However despite that my PDA was delivered extremely quickly, perfectly packaged and with everything I ordered. Another positive feature of the X30... Read review

Advantages: 624MHz XScale processor, 64 SDRAM 128mb ROM, 3.7" VGA screen, wifi & Bluetooth, 16mb video memory
Disadvantages: Button arrangement and size

...The X50v is the latest in the Dell Axim pda range. To make things confusing Dell has 3 different X50 models, the low end X50 416MHz, the mid range X50 520MHz and the high end X50v 624MHz. The X50v differs from the other two by having a 624MHz XScale processor, 128mb ROM, 3.7" VGA screen, wifi and Bluetooth enabled and an Intel 2700G multimedia accelerator with 16mb video memory. This all adds up to one powerful little machine. The large 3.7" VGA screen has a 480x640 resolution with vibrant colors and excellent brightness. Once you see the X50v VGA screen you'll wonder why you've been using a 240x320 QVGA screen. The VGA screen allows for greater detail which can reduce the font size on screen, to compensate for this there is a font size setting. The level of brightness can also be adjusted for optimal viewing depending... Read review
