THE CONTEST ENDED ON DECEMBER 12.

Steve

In honesty, I just really enjoy reading tech blogs about games, phones, computers, etc. I'm still fairly new to the site, but I hope to be regular follower!

Best moment on Mobilitysite was actually on Aximsite. I gave someone some advice on a problem and it worked, they said thanks. Great feeling!

Starting out, I was a Palm user surfing newsgroups, IRC channels, etc. for information during a time when desired technical information was often hard to come by through mainstream channels. After acquiring a Dell Axim X30, I checked out the Dell-recommended sites and found more of what I had tried to avoid during my Palm years; limited information scattered on malformed websites that never addressed the full scope of issues encountered by real users. Searching for alternatives, I found AximSite, an established yet growing resource of of users spreading news, FAQs, and tips that were unparalleled by other sites. Mostly reading from the outside, I learned much about the Axim, and WindowsMobile in general from the site, considering it to be a small community of those with similar interests and a desire to help one another.

That loyalty, to site and device, led to passionate, yet unfortunately fruitless, requests for WM5 releases for our stalwort X30s in 2005, as well as for the continuation of the Axim line in 2007. Once the most powerful and cost-effective WindowsMobile PDA line, the mighty Axim fell to the smartphone, and AximSite soon followed. MobilitySite has become one of the top sources of information for mobile devices in general, and is now suppoprted/written by many of AximSite's original members, but AximSite's comparatively small size and close-knit nature were characteristics that made it special.

Rest in peace, AximSite.

I allways come here to check on the latest news in the mobile world... And then think: "do these guys know everything??"

Nothing beats the WF:HOF crew back in the days.... Oh yeah, especially confusing newbs about our "intelligence"

With the HP getting back into the game with the iPaq Glisten, in a way you guys are going back to your roots. Too bad Dell no longer sells Axim, I remember them being popular (since there was always a few deals going on every month). Now all we need is Motorola to get back into the game.^^

I am completely new to mobility site. My phone is cracked and years old and I need a new one and I'm shopping around.

My fondest memory was when i first came to mobility site a year ago, at the 13 when i got the exciting news from my parents that i would be getting my first phone in preparation for high school! After checking all the phones that rogers had to offer i starting reading up on some of their smartphones on mobilitysite. This helped me narrow my choices between the blackjack 2 (samsung jack) and the Motorola qh9. Even after recieving he blackjack 2 as a gift i continued to read up on mobilitysite and then becan following chris leckness and mobilitysite on twitter and youtube. To this day I still read up on mobilitysite to get the latest windows mobile and cellular news. Thanks mobility site for providing the net with wonderful news and reviews!!!

I never knew the AximSite cause Im a newb but I loved the family of sites so much that I started with the sister site GotZune that is now part of the Mobility Site conglomerate. I love the content, and personality that each writer brings to the table.
Besides Im looking for a replacement to my HTC Excalibur (S621) that I have flashed at least 25 - 50 times this year already.

I got my start into the PDA world with Aximsite, buying my first Axim x51V from the classifieds and have been following the site since then, it has always been enormously helpful and I really appreciate the hard work!

I think my fondest memory is when I found out about Aximsite, I had just bought a used Dell Axim X51v and thanks to the site I found out there was a cooked Windows Mobile 6 Rom available for it. I doubt anyone can truly imagine how I felt when I saw I could have WinMo 6 on my old Dell, it was like getting a new device since the CPU was already pretty fast and it had a VGA screen. I think the dude that made the Rom was called Football or something like that (football as in soccer outside the USA).

I started reading mobilitysite before it existed, as aximsite. While I still use my Axim X5 for geocaching, I follow the site now for ipod touch related items as well as general mobile tech. Its a one stop shop for various needs, which is nice.

I have followed this site (aximsite) since my first ipaq back in 2004. It was not an axim, but the advice and help from forum users and the news often helped me solve the problem anyhow.

THIS WEBSITE IS UBER LUCKY
was downloading ong bak2 at 78%, transformers 2 83% and darker than black season 1 at 93.somthing percent
at the same time i was on utube and found a video on the unboxing of a zune HD
like a minute later my computer does a automatic rrestart, because i was downloading directly and not through some torrent i was scared of wasting my net and having to restart all over again
for some reason when i opened my computer opened up again everything but my downloads where still up
NOW THAT IS MY FONDEST MEMORY :D :D :D

My fondest memory is actually when I was getting extremely frustrated with my iPhone and was looking for help around YouTube. I then came across the youtube channel, and found some pretty cool videos. I ended up selling my iPhone and getting a new phone that mobilitysite reviewed. :)

I am new to this site but so far I think it's one of the greatest tech sites on the web. You guys have so much really talented writers and a lot of great supporters =]

My Fondest Moment actually came a long time ago when Aximsite was still it's own site. Through Aximsite I ended up meeting Patrick J. and Doug G. (justanothermobilemonday) and we've been friends ever since. Without these two guys I'm sure I would never have retained much of an internet presence. Matter of fact I've even been out to Texas and had lunch/dinner with Patrick & his family... so yea, I've met a couple really good friends through the site.

i hope i win =D

My only venture into handheld gadgetry was inspired by a Google search that brought me to a little site known as Aximsite.com. At the time, the X51v had not yet been released. I surfed and read and surfed some more... for almost a year! I kept reading posts from great forum posters (shout out to Kulnet, Ikehiker, Gigi, psionandy and so many more here!) until I finally sucked up enough courage to make my purchase. If it had not been for continued support from the Aximsite community, my X51v would have been little more than a paperweight... Time after time, I found ways to go the way of the bluescreenofdeath, mess up my wifi and just generally render the poor thing unusable... and time after time, I was able to find a post that would help me bring the little bugger back to life. I still use my X51v (it is the bridge between my home and work schedules to this day) and I still come back to the new incarnation of the best little site that I had ever had the privilege of posting on.
This is not the first time I pay tribute to Chris' brain child - this has always been such a great community.
Cheers all... and a very Happy 7th Chris!

Axim Site and Mobilitysite are two of the earlier WM related site I've visited since I convert from Symbian to WM phone 3-4 years ago. I'm still reading news from Mobilitysite each day, now over Google Reader.

rock on chris love you reviews bud...hope i win..

I have visited MobilitySite many times, I enjoy watching Chris on youtube witch is where i first heard of mobility site. Love the tech updates and reviews.

Keep at it Chris!!!

I found mobility site through Twitter. I just cant get enough info on mobiles and gadgets. I have a standard series of sites that I visit every morning for the tech update. Glad to make mobilitysite part of my daily rounds. Keep up the great site Chris.

I am new to the site but like the clean format and great writing. I am an early adopter of windows mobile phones and i have the HTC Wizzard and Tilt in my collection. currently have the Motorola q9h for the great battery life. I love gadgets and would love to try the snap!

I read Mobilitysite I suppose the same reasons everyone else does. Between my husband and myself, we're a multi gadget family. Being in Finland, Nokias are a-plenty, but so are classics like the SE p900 (Yes, it's a classic), iPod Touches, and the Windows Mobile classic that is the iPaq hx4700 (STILL not obsolete with a cooked WM 6.1 ROM). And of course stuff like a Samsung Blackjack, HTC Touch Pro, the list goes on, but that's the stuff I would say is notable. That's plenty of reason to read Mobilitysite right there.

Of course I pull a blank on notable moments, but the slow realization that Dell wasn't continuing with the Axim was rather bittersweet.... or maybe just bitter. Speaking of the hx4700, talk about classic devices. I always meant to get one, but by the time I was ready, Dell Finland quit selling to consumers. The site picked itself up, dusted itself, and found its way. :-)

I could really use an HTC Snap for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I prefer qwerty goodness and seem to be in a minority. No carrier has it on offer here either. My husband is a Windows Mobile skinner, and he could use my HTC Touch Pro to see what VGA icons look like on a tiny screen. You can make the icons, but they always display a little bit differently.

I'm using his Samsung Blackjack right now, but it's got this horrible goo on the screen that won't come off with any of those common household remedies. Why am I using it? Because I prefer the keyboard in that qwerty style, and I actually prefer WM Standard. Using WM Standard, I can use those homescreen themes of his, and they are just so great. He knows how to make a theme I'd use like no one else. That part wasn't in the vows, but I won't complain.

I think WM Pro has lost its way a bit with all this pretend-iPhone nonsense, but WM Standard with its XML homescreens makes it possible for developers and skinners to really offer a lot in terms of customization and ease-of-use. In other words, a highly customizable device that functions very well as a PHONE. I've been ranting about such on twitter earlier this evening, so sorry if this is a rerun. It doesn't mean I'm not right.

So if you see fit to give me the Snap, it'll be well appreciated as one of the few, the proud, the unsung hero that is the qwerty-keyboard WM Standard phone. :) .... If you're not EU-friendly in the contest, my parents are in the US!

I probably won't win, I never win these things, but that's why they're contests. Whoever does win, take care of that phone, the qwerty WM Standard phone is becoming more and more rare these days.

My favorite moment of mobilitysite, was back when we had aximsite. I was one of the many who had the Dell axim x50v, and when it was announced that the x51v was coming, I was able to use the helpful instructions on this site to upgrade from dell with no cost! Thanks so much Mobilitysite/Aximsite!

My fondest memory of the conglomeration of Chris Leckness associated web sites isn't even of the site itself. I had won a book light, I think, about 3-4 years ago and Chris had sent me an email informing me that I was the winner and asking for my address information to send the item. We went back and forth with emails about 1/2 a dozen times discussing web site operators. It was that personal touch from Chris that I really remember the most.

I like reading sites like Mobilitysite because you can get relative and important information about devices and tips that keep us up to speed in the mobile world. It's always nice to find a site like this where you know you are getting information from people networked in the industry.

hey. recognize you from the days of Axim 50v.
bought 1 the day it came out, and still have one at home to browse, and run some reference/e-reader/legacy software apps... handy little device.
them were the days, when we pushed those devices to the limits, tweaking and defining (in a way) the way software was developed for the units.
thanks.
