Well - I'm on hold with Dell Canada support right now, and I've had to call back twice, while being on hold for about 10 minutes, so it's not TOO bad, nothing I'll complain about...

But I've done some more testing with the mic and with the Directional Pad on both units, and they both leave a lot to be desired. Maybe I was just spoiled by the iPaq pad, but this one just doesn't really seem to fit properly.

I don't play games all that often on the Axim, so that's not where the D-Pad is coming into being an issue, it's just general usage - and even then it can be a pain, so I want to make sure it's in 100% perfect condition.

The microphone is, even at the lowest setting and after fiddling with the gain control, still crap. I get a massive amount of static on all my recordings, and this is after two units.

But I won't give up. I still love the Axim, and think it's well worth the trouble for the price I'll have paid in the end - but just remember, everyone - If you have a problem with ANYTHING, call Dell. Get a replacement and make sure that EVERYTHING is EXACTLY like you want it, it's your right, and is one of the benefits of being a Dell customer :)
