I posted this earlier at the introduction thread but felt I should have posted it here. My apologies in advance for double posting.

EDIT: I have already deleted the double post for clarity

Hey there Folks,

Just Got My X51v from Dell :)

1. I downloaded and installed ActiveSync 4.1
2. Used the Dell CD to install Outlook 2002 on my local Machine(I uninstalled it later, nasty is an understatement. Are there any alternatives to it? I might just get Outlook 2003 if Im forced to)
3. Installed "ActiveSync Toggle" and Disabled ActiveSync.(yes I know this serves no purpose now. *grins* Just wanted to test it, Brilliant little tool)
4. Put in the battery and Hooked up the X51v to the Power Adapter for recharge.

Now I have to wait

8 hours the paper instruction sheet says, for charging.

The build quality of all the Dell Parts that came along seem solid. Only thing that bugs me a little is the interface jack that connects to the AC cable and the X51v,it seems a little flimsy(I shook it a little and I can hear a little rattling).
Im guessing its the connector pins within. The same can be said with the USB travel cable as well.(So Im guessing Im just over-reacting to something normal)

After the charge I intend to:(Will listen to feedback first)
1. Hard Reset the X51v
2. Install the A04 Rom update
3. Install all the Software from the Dell CD(EDIT: I skipped this part: I only installed the purchased software that was knowingly stable for WM5)
4. Install all purchased goodies
(PI5, WebIs Mail, PocketBreeze and SplashID)

Anything wrong so far?
Please let me know guys and gals.

Thanks a million,
Laro.
