Can't find it on the Dell UK website now, only the snap on one. And my delivery date is STILL the 24th! Hey, are we cooking........

You should find it here for £62.28 (plus delivery) External foldable keyboard (66 keys).

As for the 24th....I think it means on the 24th rescheduled anticipated delivery date they might think about delivery..

Thanks, Bernie, for the link, might get one.
And I think you are being nasty about Dell and its delivery forcasts, I mean, my delivery date date has stayed static (or is that e-static) for almost 24 hours!!
Not yet taking the day off to meet the man from Walsh Western but getting a little bit excited............ That's the kiss of death.

i have asked dell if they will ship mine with 2002 on it as some of the apps i have only work with 2002 at the moment. Mine you i doubt dell will do that either.

stu

guys.. dont get too enthusiastic on 2003.. imho it's not worth the money, the only visual difference i can see is some stupid new game, and some wizards for the networking and net access and a change in media player 9 :/

I think we could lose interest rapidly, I mean where else would you order a software upgrade and then wait for a month or more and still have a delivery date that changes each time you look at it. This subject has generated so much interest, world wide.
My date is still the 25th, has been for a day and a half, so tomorrow it will change to the other side of the weekend. I see a pattern emerging here, me thinks.
Perhaps it will include the patch and also work with its own branded peripherals. It would be nice though if Dell would issue a statement voluntarily on what's happening, rather than having to listen to speculation or reading what Dell employees have emailed to other Axim owners.
There will be some light at the end of the tunnel, as they say. Then we start the battle of trying to get the shipping refunded....... But that's another story - or will be...
Have a nice day.

Whilst we wait (and wait and wait) for WM2003 (either for it to be delivered or it to drop down the start menu...) I thought as Bernie had gone off on a tangent regarding keyboards, heres mine:



No comments about me not cleaning the screen! And yes, that is the Axim that's tested 100 SD cards - thats 101 more than Dell has...

:p

stu

Yo,

yeah i ordered that keyboard also dont know why, hardly use it :S too big to carry around really :S

What are them icons on the bottom?

dougproctor

Really should have kept my mouth shut..... yeh, they've put my estimated shipping date to the other side of the weekend as I thought they would yesterday. Dell must read these threads, we'll have to send PM's to each other instead!!!!
I don't like those keyboards, had one when I was a Palm M130 person. Much too fiddly, always hitting the wrong button. The best keyboard I have had is the Pocketop although it was sometimes a bit hit and miss to get the infrared beam aligned properly. Could sometimes get up to 2 words a minute (after training!).
And Happy, get that screen cleaned, no way to treat an Axim. Questions ought to be asked. Do you really deserve the upgrade? I think as punishment, you ought to be the first to receive it!
Be good to each other.

Well since Happy has suggested I went off at an angle, then showed us his pic's;) ....I thought I'd show my own hypotenuse

An idea of size closed up....


Opening the case is simple and cool...


All connected up - really easy and you can charge your ax at the same time...


Only problem so far is the space bar is a bit choosey...which seems to be a hardware issue - others have reported the same....but when you get used to it, it's OK.

happycheesecake

That keyboard is too fussy... Lucky for me that Transcriber can read most of my rather childlike handwriting.. Well, apart from x's and c's...

Anyway I can type with my little (free of charge) thumb keyboard...

Cesio

I have that keyboard and it's fantastic. You need to give yourself time to get a little used to it and after that there's no beating it for speed.

stu

free of charge? how u get it free of charge?! lol

I think Dell have forgot about my AXim, it's been a week now since i received my replacement and no word, and no instructions in the box or phone calls! wicked!

Anyone know how to fix an axim screen or get a replacement screen? :D

tarkanuk

Hi all

Has any one been charged for the order.

Just check my account and looks like they have taken out the money.
Does this mean that they are going to ship PPC2003
