Dell Axim X5 > Reviews

Advantages: Cheap, powerful, versatile
Disadvantages: A bit bulky. Not as "cool" as an IPaq

...endlessly, I settled on the Dell Axim. Why? If you compare raw power/memory, like for like, you'll see that the Dell Axim X5 Advanced is on a par with the top of the range Pocket pcs, such as the Ipaq. but it's less than half the price!! In fact, it's the same price as most machines with 1/3 or less of the memory/power capacity. That was the main draw. It also has support for Compact Flash/mmc and SD memory, so I could swap cards from ... Read review

Advantages: great screen, fabulous software, accessible customer service, usually kind
Disadvantages: a little bigger than normal

you won't be unhappy with this pda.

I use it most for writing reports, fiction, journalistic, all kinds as I am a writer. Anyone who needs the unit for extreme writing needs is really going to love it. I haven't had much of a problem on transfer. I think ... Read review
