Dell Axim¿ X5 Pocket PC: A good all around PPC

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 17:20:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vomithaus - The Dell AXIM X5 basic (300mhz) was the end of my search for the perfect PDA. After owning a number of palms and an IPAQ, the Dell was the best blend of both worlds. I never did like the old IPAQ screen and lighthing system: everything always looked...

Dell Axim¿ X5 Pocket PC: Dell Support Nightmare

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 02:52:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author udogaag - DON't BUY A DELL - at least not a REFURBISHED AXIM!!! DELL requires an ownership transfer process before they will grant you any kind of assistance with their system. This is outrageous! It even applies to systems still under warranty. DELL asks...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author irishpotato66 - I thought it was good. I bought mine over a year ago and still use it to this day.

Dell Axim¿ X5 Pocket PC: Great introductory PDA

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:37:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author papazano - Dell Axim 5 is a great introductory PDA. It works best as an organizer for those who use Outlook on their desktop pc. Those who categorize with sub-folders will have to look for third-party software like intellisync to sync subfolders in calendar,...

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:33:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dhauser - This is the coolest PPC that I have ever seen. For the price you can not find a PPC with a compact flash and a SD slot. It does every thing that I want it to and the battery life is great. I can even use it as a remote for my TV, DVD, and Receiver. Also...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lizard2806 - I did a lot of research before buying the Axim Basic, and found no other product that offered as much for as little, not to mention the quality typically found in Dell products.

Tue, 11 Nov 2003 20:47:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author copskiss - You get what you pay for. My experience with the Dell Axim underscores the validity of this axiom.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gregcap - My ship times slipped multiple times.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author picciani - ActiveSync has problems connecting and disconnecting requiring a soft or hard reset on several occasions.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author erick7302 - The Axim stands alone even in its field. I work in sales, and I’ve seen a whole lot of pocket PC’s… but I’ve never seen one quite like this. The obvious catcher is the price, which is significantly lower than most similar models on the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ro_bro - I think other reviewers have basically covered all the tech specs, and all the specs are at the dell site and other tech review sites out there, so I will just get to my experience in using this for about 3 months.
