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 put music on it. I intended to put music and 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
