I've seen the list of essential software & tweaks.
What hardware add-ons are essential?

At a bare minimum I'm thinking case, USB cable, and a memory card or two.

Is there any reason to prefer 2 smaller memory cards vs 1 big one?

My X50v arrived at home today. I can't wait to get home this evening!

1)Case
2)screen protector
3)flash memory - i'd go for a large one over 2 smaller ones

Good list Jukov. Didn't go overboard and I think you everything that is necessary.

Screen protector (Boxwave, JavoEdge, or Brando), memory card, and a case. But I am still using my slip case.

Hi darus,

Check our our product line for the Axim X50: http://www.boxwave.com/products/easy...im-x50_462.htm

We offer 3 unique cases along with 2 different ClearTouch screen protectors -each offering its own list of characteristics and benefits.

I personally started out with a ClearTouch and Armor Case but soon realized that it's kind of fun spoiling my handheld :)

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about any of these products.

Cheers,
Cho

A good case is a definate "must have". Before that, I would go for a screen protector - don't want to damage that beautiful display.

As for additional memory, I personally prefer a larger card to two or more smaller cards. I hate swapping out cards.

Things that are nice to have but not vital - for me anyway:

A replacement stylus. PDA Panache has some great ones, not for the X50V yet, but I am hoping.

A retractable sync cable so I don't have to keep my cradle out.

A car charger so I don't have to worry about killing my battery.

Extended battery :)

Must haves for me -

(1) Real stylus with a pen and stylus tip like an Avery Double Click. PPC makers try to save too much space with that little straw-like stick. Give it up and get something usefull.

(2) Hard case - aluminum Rhinoskin. Dell's default case suks.

(3) Car charger - bought the charging tip from Dell and use a Playstaion portable car charger. I also use it with a 120AC to 12VDC adapter from radio shack for inside charging as well.

(4) Good backup program - Sprite Backup

(5) SD of CF - for programs, files, etc.

(6) Sync cable - have not been in the mood to spend megabucks on this, but it would be nice. Found one on e-pray ($8), didn't work, sent it back, got another but have not tried it yet. First one gave an error that I was pulling to much power from my laptop usb port. :rolling:

(7) AximSite :approve:

#7 should be #1
I found AximSite useful even before I got my Axim!
