I just purchased my Axim X5, set up everything "successfully" (after several hours on the phone with Dell) only to find out that browsing the internet was almost impossible with the dreadfully slow, usually hanging completely, internet connection the X5 got me...

I have a Linksys Wireless-B Router and DSL...My laptop connects perfectly wirelessly to my network and browsing speeds are very fast...My coworker, who has an HP PDA says that he's able to browse the internet at speeds that are the same as his laptop when he's at home...So, the long and short of it now is, Dell is sending me a new X5 this week...

Anyone else having this kind of trouble??? Am I expecting too much out of my X5 on the internet??? Please respond...

thanks!

Well.... pocketpc and the internet is kinda slow especially when you dont go to pocketpc friendly sites. Try going to this site on your axim it should be pretty fast if not perhaps its configuration error.

The $17.00 Targus PocketModem that I bought last week on eBay arrived today.

I'm currently typing this on my X5, via the Targus, 20' phone cord, and my local internet connection. It's *just* as fast as the 56k modem in my PC!

This is going to be great for posting updates from the hospital when our new child is born! Last time I had to lug my laptop, and that wasn't fun!
