{Purple 6:17:39 PM} Thank you for contacting Dell Pre-Sales Chat. My name is Purple, how may I assist you today?
{ 6:18:02 PM} I have a question regarding the release date of Windows Mobile 2005
{Purple 6:18:24 PM} Ok.Whats that?
{ 6:18:29 PM} Exactly when is this product going to be available?
{Purple 6:18:40 PM} Ill check it out.Hold on.
{Purple 6:21:30 PM} According to our records, itll be within the next 2-3 weeks.
{ 6:21:50 PM} There is no definant release date?
{Purple 6:22:51 PM} Theres no definite release date yet Steven.
{ 6:23:08 PM} According to your dell website, It states:
By placing your X50/X50v PDA order now, you will be placed on a list to be one of the first to receive a FREE copy of the Windows Mobile 5.0 software Upgrade when they are available to ship in October. Your PDA order will ship based on your order confirmation.
{ 6:23:31 PM} If they are going to be available in the next 2-3 weeks, why the early release?
{Purple 6:24:40 PM} Yes.That's right,if youre gonna be placin an order for the axim, youll be on the priority release to receive that software but thatll be within 2-3 weeks coz we have to check the order info first.
{ 6:25:50 PM} So I should be expecting that software in the mail within the next 2-3 weeks?
{Purple 6:26:16 PM} Yes.Thatll be within that time frame.Have you ordered it already?
{ 6:27:40 PM} I placed my order when this promotion occured, so yes i believe i have already ordered it.
{ 6:27:48 PM} Would i need to pay for the shipping/handling?
{Purple 6:28:39 PM} For the software, AFAIK, you don't have to pay for that since the software is free.
{ 6:29:24 PM} Thank you very much. Would you by any chance have information on the upcoming X51/X51v Series of your Axim PDA's?
{Purple 6:30:15 PM} Ill check it out.Hold on.
{ 6:31:34 PM} My friend wishes to purchase an X50v, but if the new model (X51v) has significant changes in hardware, then he will wait for that to come out. As of now, speculations and rumors point that Dell is releasing this PDA as an X50v with Windows Mobile 2005 pre installed, hence it will be called X51v to signify the pre installed operating system.
{Purple 6:31:36 PM} According to dell.com, we havent brought it up yet.But itll be sooner.
{ 6:32:41 PM} There is no information about major hardware changes with your next model (x51/x51v)?
{Purple 6:33:55 PM} AFAIK, that axim has that software installed already.But of course theirll be changes as well but we havent oriented yet regarding those changes on the x51.
