After many hours looking at every variety of PDA on the market, I have decided to buy an Axim and join the thousands of you out there who seem happy with theirs on the whole.

However I was literally seconds from buying one from Dell direct today, when I was told that the model I would have would have the latest 2003 version operating system installed.

However as I was about to buy the standard Axim which as you know is the lower model of the two, made me think will 32MB be enough ROM in which the operating system is installed and RAM when I actually start to use it?

Does anybody know how much I will have left when I actually switch it on and start using it?

I ask because Dell has not altered the technical specs of either model even though a new operating system has been introduced and knowing Microsoft of old, new operating systems usually are more greedy in terms of what they need.

Should I be worried about this or should I continue as planned originally as per when I was expecting 2002 to be installed and buy the standard model or is the advanced model really worth the extra money?
