Another Aussie with an Axim - great. Welcome to the family.
I haven't purchased any accessories from Dell as yet. What I have purchased is as follows:

Screen Protector (a must have item) from Brando in Hong Kong (http://shop.brando.com.hk/). The freight charge was minimal. I also purchased a compact Sync and Charge cable from the same source.

Case from Vaja (www.vaja.com). Rather expensive but very good. Freight added quite a bit to the price but I couldn't find a suitable case in Australia.

SD Card - 128Mb Panasonic. Purchased from Dick Smith Electronics.

SD Cards are cheaper in the States, but usually only because of mail-in rebates and to get those you generally have to have a USA address. In any case, you get a cheque in US dollars and by the time you pay the bank charges in Australia you don't have much of the rebate left. And then there are those freight charges again.

Any SD card SHOULD work with the Axim, but if look on this site you will see that some people have problems usually, but not always, with SanDisk cards.

Also, I understand that any CF card should also work with the Axim.

Hope that this helps,

Glenn
