HAving just purchased an x51v recently (<3 months ago) I have to say that I don't understand those who say "wait for an updated ROM".

I have A06, loaded it as an update from Dell website, and have had few issues at all, much less anything that would have kept me from buying it. Based upon the naysayers, I might have believed differently if I was in the market, but having bought one somewhat uninformed, I can now say that there isn't anything that would have kept me from buying it!

If you need one, get it, and don't buy it thinking that you're going to experience problem after problem with it. Yeah there are some that have problems, but every platform is going to have a smallpercentage of issues that infuriate a small percentage of buyers.

My question to them might be 'how far are you pushing the boundaries in terms of fringe software that isn't written well enough to operate on it?'.

I have downloaded probably 50 - 60 different freeware programs (too cheap to buy the really good stuff) and have not experienced more than a couple of programs that have caused serious malfunctions, and those I wonder if I was downloading a wrong version or they were just not that good a program anyways.

DO IT!!! The thing rocks, as an mp3 player, a movie player, plus all the normal "outlook" type stuff.
