I'm with Chrissss on this one. To many negatives on the X50 series given the price. I don't understand why so many want a HARD DRIVE on a PDA,though. Good grief, if you thought you had sickening battery life before, just what do you think you'd have with a built-in hard drive? Yikes. Hard drives are OT (old tech). There shouldn't be a single moving part these days. Give me mondo hyper-fast flash memory....now THAT'S what should be in a PDA. Anyway, the X5 Advance is still a worthy machine and actually has much more capability than Dell is willing to support. It has completely negated any need in my job for a notebook computer. With CF WiFi, CF Modem, keyboard, scads of memory, and a nice set of uber-portable speakers, I have everything I need. The new WM5 machines coming out might be enough to entice me to switch....probably not to another Dell, though.
