I ordered my original Axim on 1/23/03 and received it on 2/6/03. It was Rev A04. I experienced the well documented d-pad problem with this unit.

According the the box that it shipped in, this unit was manufactured on 1/23/03. After a call to Dell Tech Support they overnighted me a new Axim which I received on 2/11/03. This new unit's manufactured date is 2/5/03.

This new unit it is still version A04. I can still "feel" a difference in the d-pad when pressing the right side compared to the other directions, but the performance of the d-pad is much better than my original Axim.

Don't know if this is true of all shipments, or if the manufactured date is truly the date it was built, but if you look just above the UPC code on the smaller internal box that the Axim ships in there is a Manufactured Date as well as the Rev. of the unit. It will look something like: MFG DATE M030205 REV. A04 (i.e. 2/5/03 Rev. A04)

Am interested in finding out when Rev A05 first began being manufactured.
