Dell Axim X3

Advantages: Thin, nice looking, fast
Disadvantages: None really!

I purchased the Dell X3i during the latter half of 2004 with the intention of using it for an in-car sat-nav system. Although the PDA is pretty cheap brand new from Dell, I decided on purchasing one from ebay at a bargain price as it included the docking station. I'm very very impressed with it indeed. I've got a 512meg SD card installed, with Tom Tom maps of the whole UK. I also have a few hundred megs of digital music on there. Battery life is ...
...for well over £200 from Dell - especially with the WLAN module included. Dell still sell this particular model, but that part of the website is down at the moment unfortunately so can't provide a more up-to-date price! I'll update the review shortly. Link this in with a £60 Tom Tom GPS adapter, and you have sat-nav in your car for a bargain price. Buy one! ... Read review

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

...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

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
