James, I'm a little shocked here. Being the astute PDA guy we all know you to be, bluetooth generally costs $100 more than the same unit without bluetooth. While you can buy some bluetooth CF cards for less than $100, the best are at $100 to $120, street price. But, built-in will use less power than a card and you won't fill up your CF slot with a card. So, $100 more is not a bad deal for someone who wants bluetooth.

My complaining was more about the lack of good bluetooth devices. I cannot imagine spending even $50 on a bluetooth CF card or built in. I have a Dell Bluetooth card, but have NEVER been able to get ActiveSync to work. What he heck is bluetooth good for. I might take back my poor attitude after Mobile 2003 is in my hands, but for now.... :p

Also, the 2200 has SDIO and is smaller/lighter than the Axim. If I was buying now, I'd take a long hard look at the 2200.
I will agree with that statement, but there really is no reason to get rid of an existing Axim because there really isn't enough difference between the two units. I would have rather seen built in WiFi than bluetooth.
