Now I don't know whether to stay with the Axim or not

[Wired Pig]

I would. The Axim is a good product. If your willing to wait that is.

[littlekevbo]

it is worth waiting for....... what have you got to lose?

At least they caught the problem before they sent yours out, so i think you should wait and know that yours is problem-free.

[ravager]

I got the same response, and all I did was order a couple of cradles. Looks like they are taking the sledgehammer approach.

I have to admit, it's kind of weird to read people so quick to jump ship over one significant glitch. WM2003 is definitely a 'must have', but it's not exactly life changing. Dell definitely screwedup, but as someone already noted: you already *have* the PDA. Why throw it away because you couldn't get it right away and had to wait a little longer than other PPC owners.

It's like running out of gas on a long trip and deciding it's better to just abandon the car, set fire to it and go home. It just seems like overkill - major overreaction, to me.

i just placed my order on july 24th and should be recieving mine in mid aug. (grumble...) does this mean that mine will be "supposedly" glitch-free as far as the whole wm2k3 thing goes?
