Sexy AXIM X5

Advantages: Ease of use and functionality
Disadvantages: Not compatible with Outlook Express

...I just got my Axim about a month ago, upgrading from my Palm device and the first thing that struck me was the overall design - it?s a sexy little beast. The PDA itself is a sleek silver colour, black sides with function buttons that are etched and so won?t fade. The cradle is made from a smoky plastic, it?s got space to charge a spare battery (not included) and when switched on the Dell logo lights up. So overall it?s visually impressive. Although it did take me a few minutes to find the stylus as it fits flush in a channel in the top of the device rather than running along the side like my Palm. Specifications: OS : Windows Pocket PC 2002 (although about a week after I got mine they started shipping Pocket PC 2003 - typical!); Inbuilt Microphone and Speaker; Dell rechargeable battery with Backup Li battery; Expansion Slots...

Review of Dell Axim X5

Dell Axim x50v

Advantages: Screen Image, Screen Size, Processor and Memory, replaceable battery
Disadvantages: Battery life, bugs, button layout

...This is my third PDA and in my opinion its by 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 does the job and the video playback is good enough 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...

My criteria included straightforward compatibility with MS Outlook and other...

Review of Dell Axim X3

Axim Beach Resort

Advantages: Friendly Tropical Paradise
Disadvantages: Difficult to get to (but this could be an advantage!)

...I went to Ghana for three months in 2003 and my favourite memory is of the Axim Beach Resort. I still think of it when I feel miserable in England to perk myself up! We took the STC (State Transport Coach) from the capital Accra to Takoradi, a smaller city in the west of the country; then from Takoradi we took a tro tro from the station to Axim. The tro tro ride was a real adventure, I had my head out the window like a dog the whole way! Tro tro's are cheaper public transport vehicles, like people carriers. At best they are like the school sports bus you might take to an away fixture; at worst, they are like a big biscuit tin on wheels. When we got to Axim it was dark and there was only one taxi in the rank. We didn't really know where we were going, only to ask for the beach resort. Understandably we got ripped off, it was only...

Review of General: Ghana

PC, MP3 & Video Player, Games & more in one

Advantages: Large Screen, Fast Processor, easy to use interface and more !
Disadvantages: Battery life not as advertised but still beefy enough

...Dell Axim X51v 624mhz The Dell X51v comes in different forms, this review is based on the X51v model with the 624mhz processor, I have had my PDA now for little over a month, its primary use is as a GPS Satellite Navigation device when it is coupled with my GPS device by Bluetooth. My original idea was to buy a Sat Nav system, however after looking at the ever falling prices and raising specifications of PDA's I decided to go down this route. Whilst more expensive, the PDA provides lots more abilities than just buying a Sat Nav device. For those who are unsure of what a PDA is, PDA stands for Personal Digital Assistant and is basically a palmheld watered down PC. Ive added the full specifications to the bottom of my review to compliment the details given by Ciao and to give a greater understanding of what is available PDA's have so...
