But I'm guessing they won't, and that the great GPU will basically just go to waste....I do use my PDAs constantly, and I use a spreadsheet multiple times a day, so maybe I should just go for the better screen...but man, it's $550 when I get it with all the extras I want, versus $460 for the mid. Wish I could wait for Windows Mobile 2005, but my Clie's screen is getting progressivly worse.

i was in exactly the same boat. my clie was not recharging reliably, so i got the x50v. i think the color saturation was slightly better on the clie, but overall i prefer the dell's screen. but i doubt the x50v will be upgradeable to wm2005. its not in dell's interest to provide a huge freebie like that -- dell would prefer you buy another new device from them

i couldn't agree more. the vga screen alone is worth the extra $$$. plus, you get a faster processor too
regarding the extended warranty, i think you have to purchase it with the device. you can try to hit dell up for the extended coverage after the sale, but i doubt they will go for it

yeah, i probably would have stuck with sony too. but they wisely decided we wouldn't pay $1000 for their new clie :rolling:
you got a good deal on the dell, and i promise you won't regret it. welcome to the x50v family :approve:
