Ranron,
Did you have these problems before or after you installed 3rd party utilities/apps? I'm definately not new to Pocket PC as I've had three toshiba's and one Compaq IPaq before my DELL Axim X51V, but I can assure you that adding programs to the Pocket PC in general, will tend to eat away at battery life/slowing down the OS.
This was a HUGE difference for me coming from a PALM world five years ago, and don't get me started on the 64mb limit between storing apps and running them... Yeesh!!!
Long story short, it sounds like your Axim is not stable, constantly crashed, slow, etc... Well, since it's not working that well, perform HARD reset on the unit, format the unit back to DEFAULT factory settings and then SYNC up your X51V back to your primary (Contacts/Calendar/Notes/To-do list(s), back onto your Axim.
Then perform the Server trick method prevent Active Sync from draining your battery.
Now for the icing on the cake, RUN the Axim like this for 1 or 2 weeks straight with NO 3rd party APP(s) installed... You'll see how stable your Axim really is.
Provisos:
1. Your Axim must be flashed with A06
2. You MUST remember to perform the Active Sync "tweak"
3. Make sure the battery is fully charged
You might ARGUE that without the 3rd party app(s) installed, it makes the Axim useless, I'll disagree with you in advance and let you know that it's importact to verify you have a HARDWARE issue and not SOFTWARE issue.
For the record I have my X51V for over one month now and with WM5.0 and A06 installed and I've found this unit to be the MOST stable and usable Pocket PC.
Good Luck with Dell Tech Support...
