Here's the basic story...the 8 hours isn't so much for the main battery, which actually charges very quickly, it's for the back-up battery. I found out this summer, when my battery somehow slipped in the X50v and lost contact, and the back-up battery drained completely, that it takes a LONG time for that battery to charge when fully drained. It was over 4 hours, but I'm not sure how long exactly, because I left the X50v in the hotel room as there were places to see.
And since we're on batteries, and you're new, a couple of other bits of information:
1) You will NOT hurt the Axim by leaving it in its cradle whenever you can.
2) Get the program called Sprite Backup. When you lose everything in RAM memory (and it will probably happen eventually), this program will save your hide. Granted, WM 5.0 may eliminate this scenario...but as it stands, we're all still operating with WM 2003 SE. (or just 2003 for you X5 and X3 owners).
