Dell Axim X50v

...instruction manual at least. Dell is well known around the world as the providers of desktop computers, laptop notebooks and servers. A mega conglomerate started by Michael Dell which has done some crazy things with computer technology that only hardcore techno geeks understand i.e. their recent project Dell XPS 600 Renegade with quad SLI graphics that needs a 850W power supply! Am average household computer power supply is about 450W, so imagine ...
...a typical colour scheme for Dell with their 'any colour is alright as long as it's black' method. Although not one of the smallest or lightest PDAs at 73mm by 119mm by 17mm and weighing in at 175g, it has so many features packed into it you would forgive it for this little gripe. It also feels really solidly built, unlike other PDAs that feel like the company just quickly and sloppily slapped some plastic over the electronic components. The PDA ...

Review of Dell Axim X50v

...is the latest in the Dell Axim pda range. To make things confusing Dell has 3 different X50 models, the low end X50 416MHz, the mid range X50 520MHz and the high end X50v 624MHz. The X50v differs from the other two by having a 624MHz XScale processor, 128mb ROM, 3.7" VGA screen, wifi and Bluetooth enabled and an Intel 2700G multimedia accelerator with 16mb video memory. This all adds up to one powerful little machine. The large 3.7" VGA screen ...
...Axim to prevent accidental recordings. Dell have incorporated a lock switch just above the wifi button which disables the screen and all buttons, a useful feature preventing accidental power ups. On the top of the X50v you'll find a headphone port, a SD and a CF slot and the stylus silo. Dells inclusion of both a SD and CF slot allows for many expansion possibilities, which is great if you have any older CF expansion cards you still wish to use. ...

Review of Dell Axim X50v

...far the best. The Dell Axim x50v has a fatastic VGA screen that provides a very crisp display. I am using my PDA mainly as an all in one solution to my entertainment and productivity needs. As a result I have found the SD and CF Card expansion slots very useful. I have a 1GB SD card and a 4GB CF Card installed and have a selection of movies, music and games on both. The PDA handles the lot with ease, sound quality via the standard earphone socket ...
...for the screen size. The inclusion of wi fi and bluetooth is a great help and allows you to access your email and the internet with ease. My only gripe with the unit has been with some lock ups with the unit which has forced me to reset the PDA, that said I have owned three PDA's in the past and they have all suffered with same problem. I also dont like the buttons on the side, they seem to activate the wi fi and blue tooth features to easily. The ...

Review of Dell Axim X50v

Right out of the box my axim was working perfectly. Although I had a few difficulties working out how to connect to a network, once you know how to do it it is relatively easy. The microsoft office 6.1 works well however if you are intending to use it for large scale word processing then I would advise purchasing a bluetooth keyboard as the touchscreen keyboard is very time consuming and wearing on the eyes and the letter recogniser and transcriber ...
...isn't what you'd call decent and buying a larger battery ruins the design ergonomics. Overall I think it is a very capable pocket pc. The official RRP is quite high however I was able to pick mine up for a little under £100 which I think is very decent. ...

Review of Dell Axim X50v

...can get them from the dell site! I will tell you more about the day in the life of my Axim. I use my Axim on a daily basis because it has a good contacts list (you may say I have that on my phone but this is just so much better) has email pretty much the same as a normal pc, Microsoft word, Excel, Media Player. I mainly purchased my Axim though for Navigation (GPS) I purchased Destinator PN which is fantastic, but you need to have a power source ...
...they said update very soon! Dell said update for the WM5 rom is out very soon. When Dell released the Axim X51v I looked to see what they had changed, not a lot little more memory and got rid of the backup battery. I think that when they get the rom working properly then the battery life will be a lot better. So my conclusion stop reading the reviews and go and buy an Axim you wont be disappointed!!! ...

Review of Dell Axim X50v

...for pocketpc. Bought from Dell directly, a bonus of the unit that there is no middle person if a problem were to occur (which as of yet hasn't). Cost about £350. The screen can be rotated which is a must! there are many freeware applications that will run on this unit, though remeber to use the built in storage for some of thses as otherwise it can soon run out of memory causing programs not to run. There is a nice freeware program that allows ...
...you can choose Main, Bult in or a storage card. Is a very versatile unit, currently I have it doing: DVD playing MP3 GPS Organiser Soft IP phone for work and much more A good price for a good unit. A HP equiv usually costs a bit more. ...
