Full review

I bought the X3i about 2 months ago on ebay. It was basically "as new / boxed etc" and came bundled with Tom Tom Sat. Nav, Bluetooth GPS receiver, usb docking cradle, car cradle/loud speaker, car power supply lead and leather case.

To be honest I bought it more for the Sat. Nav. but having used the rest of the features (Calendar, email, microsoft word etc etc) I now wonder how on earth I managed without them before. Used in conjuction with Microsoft Activesync on my desktop computer, organising my diary and work schedules has become a doddle.

The whole package including all the Sat. Nav. stuff was retailing at about £450 - £500 but let's just say I paid considerably less on 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.
