It's a regular modem and a bluetooth modem all in one. If you are travelling somewhere where wifi is unavailable or expensive, you can get unlimited access to the Internet using cheap dial-up rates. This is preferable to using your cellphone and watching your KB usage.

Looking at the contents of the box, it is a great value for about $110USD. I was up and running in minutes, without the need to install any drivers. (I never opened the intall CD nor did I crack open the quick start guide). Everything was plug-and-play, both on the Axim x50v and my desktop running XP Pro. The dimunitive size of the package and the carrying pouch make for a nice travel pack. On my 17-inch monitor, the picture in the link above is slightly smaller than the actual size.

I tested the following configurations:
- Axim using BT modem
- XP desktop using BT dongle
- XP desktop using serial cable
- I still am waiting to test using my iQue3600. I am only missing one component, a DB9-DB9 connector male at both ends.

On the Axim tests, I browsed the web, did some IM, transferred files to an FTP site, and connected to a remote desktop. The performance was acceptable, and what you would expect at 56k. I did not suffer any bluetooth drop-outs at reasonable distances.

If you are in the U.S. and you do not have a dial-up ISP, Netzero is free for 10-hours a month. Detailed information on how to setup the Pocket PC is available at Aximsite

this look spretty cool actually, but im wondering somehting. On the site it says the modem consumes very little power, does it have an option to run on batteries?

Sorry, no batteries, AC adapter only. The adapter is about the same volume and weight as the modem. They both fit comfortably, along with the dongle in the included carrying pouch.
