Full review
I wanted a PDA for some time, because its like a laptop but smaller and more efficient, especially for somebody like me who has probably has the worst short term memory and is hence completely dependent on technology.

After having gone through what's on the market I finally decided on this nifty little toy, it seemed to be a perfect match. Here is what I found...


First Impression:
Opening the highly unstylish box (nothing like the iPod's superb box) I found all the tools I would ever need, from instruction manuals to cable and software and a battery and a charger. The battery was slightly charged already to my extreme joy so I was able to straight away insert the battery and test it. It really does have everything you'll ever need. Excel, Word, Calculator, Calendar, Games, Notes, e-Mail, Contacts, and best of all its not only compatible with SD cards but it has a flash slot as well. This is something that very few if any of the competition have. I have found this very good as I can get accessories for it (BlueTooth, Wireless LAN, etc.) and still be able to transfer info through the SD card (ie. to my digital camera).
Apart from the fact that the case for it received protects the PDA it is very inefficient and makes it even bigger.

Getting the hang of it all:
At first sight Microsoft introduce once again their patronizing help files and annoying suggestions. However I am most pleased to know that after about 20minutes it will stop annoying you and let you get along with your own life.
Using it first time (and friends trying to use it) it seemed to be absolutely impossible I couldn't work out where different things are and why different features popped up randomly all across the place, but after a bit of playing around I finally work out why it is all designed the way it is. With minimal tapping on the screen I can my whole life sorted in a matter of seconds it really is a beauty. Microsoft have done one great job on this one (and I'm a Linux user).

Software and Synchronization:
On the CD that comes along with the PDA you get a copy of Outlook and ActiveSync (Synchronizes your PDA with your computer). This couldn't have been easier to load and install on my Windows computer. And after scratching my head I managed to set the right settings that suited me best within minutes.
The PDA can be set to synchronize with Outlook and other Microsoft products each and every time you connect the PDA to your computer, this makes life extremely easy as once you've connected it to your USB port it’s off and away and will be done within the next 10 seconds.

It is extremely important to ensure that you synchronize it every so often as the PDA only uses its RAM for storage, the fixed memory can be used by you however it is there to store the OS and not the data you input. Hence if you were to pull out both battery and backup battery you would lose all your information.
Now this might seem a bit dumb as it did to me at first but without going into technical details it is actually beneficial, you've just got to remember to back it up every so often, and if you set ActiveSync to do it automatically then you'll most likely be backing up more often than you think you are.

Conclusion:
As with all Microsoft products, they are only compatible with themselves. So if you don't own a copy of Windows then don't even bother thinking about buying this product. I have not found any drivers for it to work on Linux however I know there are ways of doing it.
The SD and Compact Flash slots are a brilliant idea. And this product couldn't be better for people who are constantly on the move and need to have all critical information with them where ever they go without the hassle of laptops then once again this is for you.
Although I do question as to why Microsoft have included so many pointless features into this OS, such as Word. This at first glance will seem like a good idea however it is impossible to write a decent sized document as you are only able to slowly type so many characters per minute.
However keeping that in mind they have brought out an extremely efficient way of writing, this OS includes AI software (Artificial Intelligence) called Transcriber which is able to read your handwriting and adapt to it very quickly, so you're able to write in your own handwriting on the screen and then the PDA will transform it into computer graphics text.

Big, but one good organizer to keep with you where ever you go.

HP iPAQ 2210 - 4 months old
Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H2210 by  AdrianRutter

Advantages: Flexibility and expansion
Disadvantages: Side grips are a nightmare if you squeeze the unit.

...I got this little beauty primarily to use for work, which it does superbly thanks to the multitude of connection options available with it. (Bluetooth, Infra red and USB.) Originally I was trying to decide between the Dell Axim X5 and the 2210, but the flexible build on this unit, the slender lines and the fact that HP / Compaq have been making these much longer than Dell, eventually persuaded me to go iPAQ. The display is bright in most conditions and the sound is good from the built in speaker and excellent through headphones. The iPAQ 2210 comes with 64Mb RAM and 32Mb ROM, as opposed to the 64/48 configuration of the Dell Axim X5. This means that if power is lost for any length of time, files saves to RAM are lost. Howeve ROM memory remains. The iPAQ 2210 gets a 4-5Mb ROM filestore, as the rest is given over to the operating... Read review

GOOD FOR GIRLIES!
Review of Dell Axim X5 by  natgirl74

Advantages: Stylish and handy for a girlie!
Disadvantages: None, I love it.

...A Girlie Point of View! Ok, so I am a girlie writing about something electronic. But I felt my Dell Axim 5 had to be written about. My husband had told me that he had bought me a combined birthday and Christmas present and that it was going to be delivered the next day. Did I want it now or wait till xmas? Going on previous gifts, I thought it best to see it now, so that I would have time to change it. Sounds rude, but he would be the same, probably? Imagine my amazement when a sizeable box came through the post and I was handed this beautiful looking PDA. He had finally bought me something I wanted! Straight away the power button was on, the stylish stylus was out and I'm tapping away. Anyone who uses Windows would be able to pick it up very easily, with pulldown windows and program files. Unfortunately, as do many products... Read review
