Thanks for all the helpful advice, and it's really fun chatting with all of you. (And I love your Avitars!) :)

Regarding the A12 upgrade (God, I've been through it all!), I've done that before and had nothing but trouble with it. My original Axim came with ROM A06. Perhaps I should have done the hard reset after I was done installing A12, but I had NOTHING but trouble. I finally bullied Dell into giving me an Axim with A12 already loaded (this current Axim), and it seemed to work fine.

Regarding my apps, that's what puzzles me. I don't think I'm running anything that would severly tax the device's capabilities, so why so much trouble. I even went so far as to ask Dell if there was anything I could do different "procedurally" to mitigate the cumulative, erratic behavior. Aside from suggesting closing unused (running) applications, Dell wasn't much help. (Go figure.) I already practice "safe computing", e.g., clean the memory regularly with MemMaid and close all unused apps, so Dell didn't tell me anything that I already know. Perhaps, I'm just the poster-child for Axim bad luck. Nonetheless, I could have bought an HP iPAC 211, but I haven't given up on my x51v just yet. I should be receiving the new one in a few days, so I'll keep you all posted.
