...models I felt that the Dell range offered better value for money. My criteria included straightforward compatibility with MS Outlook and other MS Office applications, a large bright screen and the option to include a sat nav package. After reading some very positive reviews in the computer press I decided on the Axim. The Dell website were offering the 520 for the same price as the 416 so I went for this option. I also purchased the Dell Navigator ...

Review of Dell Axim X51

...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 ...
...receiving both PDA's I contacted Dell and was advised that I could keep both because of the the inconvenience. However after 2 days I was called about 3 times a day asking when they could come and collect the 2nd PDA they shipped by mistake. By this time I had already purchassed accesories for it and was not going to give it back. After forwarding e-mails back and forth about 5 times they seem to have eventually sorted everything out and my wife ...

Review of Dell Axim X51

...im glad i chose the Dell one. There was some confusion at the start (but that was due to the wrong model being sent out, so the actual PDA was not to blame). The processing speed is just right, software supplied is top stuff, and despite some comments i found the internet very easy to set-up. I simple turned on the wireless and selected my connection. I also use mine as a satnav unit, and again its more than up to the job. I have TOMTOM Navigator ...
...the job. The processor is more than capable of keeping up with the pace of the car. However, the only downside with this unit is the lack of memory. It has 64 MB onboard memory. Obviously this can be easily upgraded using an SD card, as they are reletively cheap these days. Although if you use it as a satnav unit aswell, like myself, then you need to have the TOMTOM card inserted, which replaces the SD card, and so you have to continue to swap and ...

Review of Dell Axim X51

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 is very easy to use and has 2 card slots one for SD cards and one for compact flash. I use both at the same time. The speed of the system is good and as long as you use memory cards you can store whatever you want. It comes with a charging cradel which you can link with your pc and use ...

Review of Dell Axim X51

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 ...
...those on the computer, and the internet access capabilities are good, but quite hard to set-up. My only real qualm with the Axim X51v is the bundled software that comes on the installation CD, many of which don't inform you of their status as a trial product, and this can be annoying in the long run. All in all, the product is well worth the money you will spend on it! ...
