Power In Your Pocket

byEutek Nov 12, 2003
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, expandability, design
Cons Weak IR beam, D-pad is not precise
Recommended it? Yes

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, but limited do to its lack of... Read full review »

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

byErgoboy Apr 3, 2003
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
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.
Recommended it? No

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 decided to strike out and buy one on my own... Read full review »

Great entry in the PocketPC market!

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Price, capacity
Cons ActiveSync still has some problems; Manufacturing and distribution delays
Recommended it? Yes

I don't have a lot to compare this with, because I moved from a Handspring Visor Edge to a full-color PocketPC2002 unit. So, the difference is extraordinary.

Ordering and Customer Service: Apparently, when I ordered this, Dell wasn't able to handle the amount of orders they were... Read full review »

Its is a big PDA with a short life span.

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice screen, good buttons, big screen.
Cons Too big and will break in two years and its a Dell!!!
Recommended it? No

I bought one of these in 2003. I have been using it moderately over the course of the last two years. Currently, the interface between the stylus and the screen is starting to go. I predict the PDA will give up in about six more monthes.

When I purchased this PDA, I was only interested in... Read full review »

Don't buy it!

Pros cheap
Cons navigation button doesn't work on all Dell Axim
Recommended it? No

I don't know how could anybody rate the Axim buyable? Do you actually own one when you write it? I believed it and bought it. I've received it a few weeks ago. I regret buying it. The right button of the navigation button just won't work.

Bad thing is that you have to buy it directly from... Read full review »

Not very useful unless you're a real traveler

byAtreides93 May 10, 2003
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good battery life, compact design.
Cons Terrible browsing performance, mediocre screen.
Recommended it? No

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 this thing is painfully slow. Never mind the... Read full review »

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great Service, excellent value, CF and SD slots, great sound, the dell switcher bar.
Cons None yet!
Recommended it? Yes

I cannot say enough about my Dell. I've had it for 3 weeks now and have found nothing wrong with it. From the start I was pleased, Dell told me that it would be 10 days for delivery so you can imagine my surprise when it showed up in 4 days. I guess the problem everyone else was having was because... Read full review »

Dell Axim PDA worth a look

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great Price
Cons Thicker unit then others
Recommended it? Yes

I just sold my old HP iPAQ and got a Dell Axim as the replacement. What a great deal, for the price of my older, and slower HP PDA, I was able to get the latest from DELL. It includes Pocket PC 2003 so anyone upgrading be sure to check your software for compatibility. I expected the speed to be... Read full review »

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!!!
Recommended it? Yes

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... but don't expect too much of the unit, or any... Read full review »

A world-beater Pocket PC. From a former Palm user

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros great price, PocketPC 2003, value, excellent display, Dell quality/warranty, right size
Cons case lacks belt loop. hard to transfer Palm OS data to Pocket PC
Recommended it? Yes

First of all I made the leap from Palm OS machines to the Pocket PC world. I had gone from a Palm M125 to the new Zire 71 for $299 -- the one with the builtin camera. I had nothing but problems with the Zire, would not run many old apps, would hang or lock up for no reason. Back to Circuit City it... Read full review »
