After reviewing about 20 different models I finally settled on a Dell because of the brand name and other user reviews. Choosing the 520Mhz was quite easy because of the promotional price they were offering at the time, it was the same price as the 420Mhz model. Before I get to the actuall PDA a word of advice, don't order telephonically as it is very easy for the consultant on the other end to get the wrong information. Do it online so that they have everything in Black and White. My PDA was sent to the wrong address 3 times before I eventually went to collect it from UPS myself. This also ... more

This is the first PDA i've purchased, or ever needed to purchase. I spent a good 2 months looking at various reviews to ensure i bought the best model available. It was a decision between this and a HP model of a similar spec. All in all im glad i chose the Dell one.

I have been the proud owner of my Axim x51 for just over a year now. I use it to keep my work diary, surf the net and i use it for sat nav using tomtom software.

It comes with a charging cradel which you can link with your pc and use active sync to sync your pda with your pc or just share files. The only problem that i have had is that sometimes it wont switch on. Then you have ... more

Dell has unfortunately recently stopped producing the Axim X51v, however for those sites stil stocking the product, it is definately worth getting your hands on! I have had no problems with my handheld, and it deals with all of my needs. I have been able to easily purchess additional memory and freeware software off the net, and this has enhanced the Axim. The programs that already come installed on the axim aren't the best however. All of the Microsoft programmes are great, and can be combined easily with those on the computer, and the internet access capabilities are good, but quite hard to ... more
