Scenario:
Just got my X5 about 2 months ago - ISD Purchased it.
About 3 weeks ago, it happened....

I was at the Admin office and on my way out to my TRUCK to leave to goto the Post Office, I got stopped in the street to chat at a fellow administrator. I PLACED my A5 on top of my Toolbox on top of some other Papers, becaue I was carrying it (My Belt Clip was broke, ANOTHER STORY...).
Finished talking to fellow admin.
JUMPED into my Truck, started down the road.
Made a LEFT Turn, when DOWN a HILL, made a RIGH TURN.
Made it to the Post Office.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM..... Where is my Mail. OMG!
WHERE IS MY X5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %^#%$^&(&*&^$ and some other words...
Slam into truck, speed off - retracing path...
Fly down road I came down, RAN STOP SIGN to get back to starting point of where I left it on my Tool Box..
Shiny glare catches my eye, along with papers all over the place in the MIDDLE of MY LANE going back on my Step Re-tracing..
OMG!! I had to have run over it... UGH!!!!!!!!!
It was in my Lane coming back, I HAD to have run over it...
Made a U-Turn VERY tight street, WHO CARES, Right??
(The Onwer of the house whose Yard became a Turn-Around Lane, might have, LOL)
(maybe should go tell him Sorry.. Had a very bad problem to deal with).
Anyway... (Must have Fallen/Flew 6-10 Feet!!!!!!)
Stop on the other side, as if I was on my way back to the Post Office, at the INTERSECTION of 2 streets, BUSY, too.
Run over to my POOR X5.. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am about to loose my cookies.. Got to have my X5...
Trembling...
Take it out of my Case - From Case Techworks...
Inspect outer damage.. ARGH!!!
The case has SPLIT at the Point Of IMPACT..
Lower RIGHT CORNER of Unit...
UGH!! No way it will work...
Turn On...
WHOA.. NO WAY! Can't be...
TADA!!! The DANG THING WORKS!
Not a SINGLE problem with this X5. Works like I took it out of the box, except for a few Dents/Cracks/Scrapes...

NOW, I for One, have to tell you this...
ALL YOU people out there who FREAK over dropping your PDA, this DELL Axim X5 ROX BIG TIME. Takes that saying to NEW LEVELS.. "Takes a Licking..Keeps on Ticking..." That has NOTHING on this bad boy....

My Dell Axim X5 is doing Just fine. All I have to do now, is take some CLEAR Fingernail Polish/Gloss, whatever of my Wife's and paint it on the Areas to keep it Sealed and keep the Finish from Flaking off more than it did...

NOTHING WRONG PERIOD with it..

So, for all you out there, Trust Dell. Give them a Break, and Let them do their thing, and BE patient.. They make awesome Products...

Hope all is well in the rest of Dell World...
