Need to replace X5

I lost my X5 in one of the hospitals that I do business with last week. No one has been kind enough to return it.

So, I'm shopping for a replacement. I haven't kept up with the new PDA's since I bought the X5 the first day they became available. I'm considerring a new x30 or X50. I don't really care about watching movies on it and the MP3 would be seldom used. What Is important is keeping up with hundreds of contacts, scheduling, writing notes, and viewing spreadsheets. I would like something smaller (thinner and lighter) than the X5, but still have a large screen.

Would you recommend the x30 or the x50, or another brand?

What about the Dell refurbs? ARe they in good condition? Worth the savings?

I upgraded from an X5 to the X50V and I have been completly happy with it. Thinner and lighter than the X5 and the screen sizae is wonderful. If your budet can haddle it I recomed the X50. As for refurb I have no experience but I belive they have the same warrenty as the new ones,

I agree with wmrawls. I also upgraded from my X5 to an X50v. Go for the X50v. I promise that you won't regret it.

I would say go with a BRAND NEW x50v. At this point the x50vs are so cheap, it isn't even worth getting a refurb. You can get an x50v with an extra battery, and a 2 year warranty, and the WM5.0 upgrade cd, for under $400 with coupons.
