I second the others' recommendations. Get the x51v.

With 3rd-party software you can access a network shared volume. With WM5's Terminal Services client, you can use Windows XP Remote Desktop and control the remote host with your Axim, although the screen is much smaller.

Using OWA on the x51v is possible with Pocket IE, but it's rather cumbersome because the display is so narrow. The sidebar frame that has "Inbox, Calendar, ... etc" takes up over a major portion of the screen, so you have to practically shrink it down to nothing in order to view the Sender and Subject fields in the Messages windowpane.

If you don't mind scrolling a lot, OWA is usable. I don't think the QVGA screen of the x51 would be nearly as usable as the VGA screen on the x51v for OWA use.
