There are always rumors. Though few ever pan out. The rumor that Dell is going to put out a smart phone has been going around for about a year now, yet nothing to show for it.

I was going to buy the x50v but the relatively small amount of RAM put me off... that and the dismal battery life.
If the next batch of new PDAs (Dell or wherever) deliever 128 MB of RAM and 640x480 with a graphics card included, I'm sold. But then I'd be crying about Windows 2005 not being on it, and so on, as these things go.

The amount of RAM in the X50v is better then some out there. Besides, if you store your programs on a memory card you have plenty of RAM left to run several apps at one time. The X50v does come with a video accelerator with 16MB of RAM and a 640X480.
So, it sounds like the only thing it doesn't have it 64 more MB of RAM which realy isn't neaded.
No, the battery life is not outstanding, but if you are wanting better graphics than what the X50v has to offer you will just end up sacrificing more battery life in order to meet the power requirements of those new goodies.
