I agree, I think you'll be alright.
I ordered mine on 7/21.
It shipped on 7/26. (I heard they started shipping the ones with the "fixed" 2003 software on the 25th)
I received it via FedEx on the 31st.
I could have received it on the 30th, but I was not home to sign for the package!
I also have - ROM Version A05 (07170300EN)
Go for it Dude, you should be good to go!

I purchased my Axim X5 on 26 July, then discovered this web site. My Axim arrived on 31 July.


Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100)
Intel Processor PXA255 (400 MHz)
ROM Version A05 (07170300EN)
ActiveSync Version 3.7 (Build 3083)

System is very fast and ActiveSync works well, both on my home and work computers (one is a Dell and one is not).

I am very pleased to report that I have not encountered any problems.

YMMV

Nice to hear all the newly arriving X5s are doing great. Mine ships on the 7th, and I'm just dying to get my hands on it. I'm usually a patient guy, but I hate waiting weeks for new toys like this. :rolling:

Okay, I just received an AXIM as a gift. I have been playing with it all day and I do not think I would actually spend money on one. First off, you MUST go through Outlook if you want to do ANYTHING between your computer and the AXIM. Before you can download Active Sync (the program that links your computer and the AXIM) you have to download Microsoft Outlook 2002. I personally do not want to use Outlook as a calendar. I currently own a Sony Clie. It has it's own desktop that I can type into and then sync it to my palm. The only thing that the Dell has that I would like compared to the Sony, is the voice recording. Also, I was trying to call Dell support because I was trying to find out if there was anything I can use besides Outlook, and when I called the support line, you have to give them a credit card number and pay for a support package before they will help you on the phone. If you don't want to pay to receive support, then you have to hope it's on Dell's website. I thought I would call the Sales & Service department to see if they would sell me something to use to replace Outlook, and he basically told me no. When I suggested returning it, he then directed me to this site to see if I could find a download from another user. I guess I am just very disappointed. I opened the box yesterday, and was EXTREMELY excited because this thing looks amazing! It does have some neat features but I think my fiancé said it correctly when he said to not judge this book by its cover. I don't know, maybe someone can lead me to something other that Outlook and I could work with it, but paying for support??????? I think that is a little ridiculous.
