Please bow your head with me. I just burried my good friend X5 today. He was three years old which probably makes him about 150 in PDA years. He will be missed.

I've been lurking for a while now and just couldn't decide on which Axim to go with. So, I ordered both the X50 mid (new off Ebay for $225) and the X51v from Dell ($375 plus shipping). Both obviously returnable for any reason. Well, that screen on the X51v was a thing of beauty, but not worth the extra $150 for me (your opinions might be totally different and I completely respect that). I didn't notice any real difference in speed at all. I use my Axim purely for business so for me speed and compatibility are the two most important items in a PDA. I didn't have time to really explore 2003 SE vs. WM 2005, but to be honest I didn't have a real preferrence for one over the other. You gotta understand I've been living in 2002 for three years now so either OS is a real treat for me. I've read the horror stories of WM 2005 but can't validate that myself.

So, I sent the X51v back to Dell and am happy as a clam with the X50. Wow, the Axim has come a long way in three short years!

Thanks for all of your very good information on this site.
