Dell's raiding the Pocket PC pantry again with the Axim X5

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Dec 03 '02
Pros: Tons of features, great price.
Cons: Size of the unit, Pocket PC OS.
Well, Dell is expanding its markets... it was just a matter of time before Dell dove into the handheld market. No surprise that it sided with the Pocket PC OS since Dell has had a strong relationship with Microsoft and Intel. Yes, many of the parts...

by suemccartin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 08 '03
Pros: CF and SD slot, 64 Ram/48 Rom, interchangeable main battery
Cons: Bulkier/heavier than other pdas, Dell accessories expensive, no usb host capabilities.

Fabulous value with some shortcomings

by consumerdude , Jan 12 '03
Pros: Value, 1yr Advance Replacement warranty, CF and SD slots
Cons: Barely any software goodies, STYLUS#!!%*, SD is not SDIO, shortage of 3rd party accessories
Dell is at it again. Their mode of operation is to take industry standard components, and slap them together and offer it for magnitudes less than their competitors. For most consumers, like myself, it's a great value proposition and makes 80% of the...

Power In Your Pocket

Poor man's Pocket PC - (update) Don't buy it!

by Ergoboy , Apr 03 '03
Pros: Outstanding price for the feature set, but you get what you pay for.

As my work and social schedule began to fill up, I realized that I could no longer keep track of my appointments via a paper calendar. After hitting up my either broke or cheap employer for a PDA-type device and being told "No, we won't buy one!", I ...
