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...
Pros: Good price, good features, high quality screen. Cons: A little bulky
Dell is in a unique position. Their marketing muscle allows them penetration into companies that vary in size from the corner store to the top of the Fortune 100. Their lean manufacturing techniques combined with the volume of business they do allow...
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.
First of all let me note that epinions has their graphic reversed for the basic and advanced axim models. The basic axim doesn't come with a cradle unless it's ordered separately. Basic vs. Advanced: The axim basic has a slower cpu, less memory main ...
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...
Pros: Price, expandability, 1 year advance exchange Cons: Size

This is not going to be an in-depth, technical review of the Dell Axim X5, but rather my impressions as a user of this interesting device. I migrated to the Axim by way of a Palm IIIxe and then a Compaq Ipaq. I found the Palm to be extremely useful, b ...
Pros: Outstanding price for the feature set, but you get what you pay for. Cons: Some may find it too thick. Unit fails just after warranty expires.
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 ...
Pros: High performance at a fraction of the competition's price. Simply put: A beautiful PDA. Cons: Dell exclusive. Lack of retailers. No 3rd party accessories as of yet.

Dell Axim Advanced Series is the second PDA that I have owned. The previous was a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500, the shortcomings of which I described in another review of mine. After having received a great deal on new Dell PDA and having used it for about 2...
Pros: Memory, speed, Rubber side grips, general physical features and design are awesome. Cons: Speaker could be much better quality and offer more volume. Unit died within 14 months!!!
The review below was written prior to the unit completely failing after only 14 months. Just outside of the warranty, and just as I began to depend on it daily for my business and personal scheduling. Result? I still stand by all that I wrote below... ...
I bought this pocket pc hoping that I could use it remotely check my email and browse simple web pages. After all it says it comes with Pocket Explorer and has a 400 mhz processor. That should be plenty! Well unfortunately it isn't. Browsing the web on...
Pros: Price Cons: Untested, Poor customer support and unavailable Serial Port.
I got my AXIM last week and it works fine. Most of the earlier reviews talked about the features of this AXIM. I would like to share some of the problems that I am facing with AXIM. I have a Dell Dimension PC bought in 1999 through which it syncs...
