X3AXIMX3

Hi, I have had my axim X3i for quite a while now and a plastic peice fell off it 4 months ago, i didnt think much about it until tiny metal pins were falling out, now i cant sync nor charge, my warranty has run dry so i was wondering... Is this a design defect???

I heard that they can be fixed or replaced. My X30 had the same problem, but it was still under warranty so Dell replaced it.

In my opinion - YES - not that my opinion makes a difference, Dell still won't fix it, even under warranty.

Having said that, I haven't broken mine. When I unpacked my Axim, I took one look at the connector and knew, from experience with similar connectors on PCMCIA network adapter dongles, that the little metal locking tabs on the cable connector would break the connector on the Axim, so I bought a cradle, which doesn't use the lock tabs.

On the other hand, I suspect if enough unhappy users got together to create a class action suit, you might get somewhere with it.
