Pros: Bright screen, fast processor, great Wi-Fi and Bluetooth range. User replaceable battery.

Cons: Battery life. Headphone jack in poor place with large CF Cards.

The Bottom Line: Multimedia powerhouse with built-in wireless networking capabilities.

Review: Over the years I've owned several PDAs, both of the Windows mobile and Palm persuasion, as well as a few that are proprietary. My Palm Tungsten T had seen better days, and I was growing frustrated with newer tools for it (like the Wi-Fi SD Card) not ...

Pros: Too many to list

Cons: can't think of any

The Bottom Line: Easy to use for all levels!

Review: This review is for the layperson, who considers a purchase like this to be a pretty big one, as it was for me ( I bought this to replace a Palmone Zire 31). I work out of the house, and have a ten year old son, so I need to leave periodically. I needed ...

Pros: Fast, Wifi and Bluetooth capable, Great colors and portability. PRICE.

Cons: Not enough software.

Review: I bought the Axim x50 520mhz recently. I have using it daily and i like it a lot. It has made my life much easier. I am a student and i work full time. I use at school because I get free wifi. At home i have a wireless router. I did have to install quite ...

Pros: Clear screen, WIFI, Bluetooth, CF and SD slots

Cons: No protective cover

Review: Have had the 520 MHz Axim for 2 months and have not regretted it. Main uses are for agenda and using Uptodate (1GB medical encyclopedia). The Axim copes with these admirably and the search on the Uptodate is sufficiently responsive (2-5 seconds). Wifi ...

Pros: Small, fairly rugged, and versatile.

Cons: Reprogram the outside buttons or you'll have to charge frequently.

Pros: Light weight, big screen, easy to navigate, flexible to use stylus

Cons: battery life....be sure to program the outside buttons to maximize the battery usage.

Review: I converted from a PalmPilot to the Dell Axim X50 and will not go back! The pros out weigh the cons! Looking for a multifunctional PDA...this is the one. From organizing your calendar, addresses, notes, documents to fun things like games and WiFi ...

Pros: WMP Mobile 10; WiFi connectivity; Pocket IE works great

Cons: Like Docs-To-Go better than Pocket versions of Excel, Word; Microsoft OS

The Bottom Line: This meets all of my needs, although I would prefer the Palm OS; Wireless setup is not simplified; may want to wait for the X50v to drop

Review: My employer's computer I/T department exhibits great follow-through. After over a year of waiting for them to support my Palm Tungsten C that I brought over from another employer, they finally decided to let me in on a secret; Ain't gonna happen! After ...

Pros: Multimedia capabilities, wi-fi & Bluetooth, able to use Compactflash and Secure Digital cards.

Cons: Numerous resets, software bundle, no camera, side buttons are too easy to activate.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a Pocket PC with numerous abilities for a reasonable price, consider the Dell Axim x50. It's an excellent PDA to switch to after using Palm.

Review: I’ve upgraded my PDA for the second time in a year. I used to own a S ony Clie TJ37, but I decided to replace it with a Pocket PC once I realized that I would need something more powerful to help me with my ...

Pros: nice design;expandability of software;Wifi;bluetooth; infared;USB1.1

Cons: could have faster USB transfer, bluetooth could be easier!

The Bottom Line: the freedom of being able to do research or writing - on a PDA, is ACE - believe me!

Review: So what does the much talked about x50 give? The answer to that question depends on what you want it to give. The x50 has an ample processor, running at 500Mhz - to handle all the nice and neat features - like pocket word, and even the more ...

Pros: Lot's of performance for the investment...very functional...easy too use...WiFi & Bluetooth...

Cons: Not enough installed software...too many trial versions..

Review: I really like my Dell Axim X50...after looking at the Benchmark test I thought it was as good as any HP I'd looked at...I also felt the X50 wasn't that much slower than the X50v to warrant the extra money...the screen is crisp with nice color...was easy ...
