Newbie with a 51v 624 needs advice
I need some stuff for my 51v and either i can't find it, i can't figure it out or I am overwhelmed with choices. I hope you experienced owners can help a girl out!

1. I need a silicone case. I can find scads of x50 but none for x51v. Are they the same size? does anyone know a source? (dell is backordered)

2. Screen protectors--worth it? CHeap source?

3. Do I have to use Odyssey for my Wi-Fi? I am still struggling making the stupid Wi-Fi thing work easily. Is there a better choice?

4. Is there a Firefox or equivalent for pocket pc? I LOATHE IE.

I do have a 4 gig card in the thing, so space isn't a huge issue right now.

Thanks....

Yes, all the 50/50v/51/51v's are the same size. And yes, SCREEN PROTECTORS ARE DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE!!!!!!! (I already have a few scratches and have only had my x51v about a month!) I have heard a lot of great comments about Boxwave's screen protectors and ordered one a few days ago, but haven't got it yet. It's about $15 for one with shipping. As far as I know, a Firefox equivalent doesn't exist. However, Opera Mobile does. I haven't really got a chance to try it out much yet, but at least for the web sites I visited, it seemed to cut off the right of the page that the scrollbar covers. As far as the Dell WLAN utility, I still can't figure out how I got it set up! One of those times you can't remember just what you did... oh, well. My best guess is that I hit the "Setting" button on the "Main" tab while WiFi was on. It only seems to work part of the time. Also, it may crash the PDA and not allow you to close it. If it does, tap Start, Settings, System tab, Memory, go to the Running Programs tab, tap the last "settings" item in the list, and tap "stop". Then, tap "end process" or whatever in the window that comes up. Don't know if this is just a problem on mine, but it helps to know what may happen ahead of time. If you can't get the Dell utility set up, use Odyssey, but take it out of your startup folder (/Windows/Startup) and make sure to exit by tapping Settings, Exit in Odyssey before you shut your axim off. It makes it start up veeerrrrryyyy, veeeerrrrryyyy slow if you don't exit.
