I still have my X5 as well. I started with the 32 mb version when it was released in 2002 and then upgraded last year to an Ipaq 5550 because of the memory and built in BT/wifi. I returned it because I did not like the battery performance, and bought the X5 64 mb version.

I am also tempted to buy the X50v as it looks to be a great machine. Price is one thing holding me back only because I cannot justify a new PPC while my current one is still working for me. I think that if you get a good deal on an X50 model it really is not bad price because by the time you add the costs together of the BT/Wifi cards on a nonwireless model, it could be close if not the same.

I have no use for the wireless features (yet anyway) but it would be nice to already have them incorporated should you come across a hotspot, etc.

Here are my general reasons why I am not upgrading yet....
1) Wife
2) see # 1
3) X5 accessories that I have pimped it up with (tomtom car kit, extended batteries, cases, etc)
4) I am waiting for the next version of Windows mobile to come out to see features
5) I know the X5 is chunky compared to new models, but I really like the look and feel of it


Just my two cents....thanks
