Think that my old Vx is doing a splendid job

... but I don't regret that I'm 'forced' to use my Axim on the job

hell my last palm was a m500, which kicked ass at the time. a few years later i got a toshiba e335, which was WAY better than the palm was. what sucks is that i paid the same price for that m500 as i did for my x50v

I see lots of "constructive crticism" of the X50 on the forum, but having come from the Palm platform, I have to say of I love the Axim X50 and WM5. So much easier to be productive and connected to the desktop than Palm. Just look at the archaic Palm Desktop. How does the X50 compare to other Pocket PCs?

In my particular case I'd say my Axim is the best featured PPC I've owned and close to being the best from a physical quality standpoint. I first had a Palm Pilot about 8 years ago (is that right ... 8 years?) I was pretty impressed with it at that time.

Since then I've owned 5 PPC's now (starting with that old Casio E-10 I bought second-hand awhile back when PPC's were just appearing). Then, when PPC went color I moved to a Casio E-100 which I used for about 3 years. That was a solidly built box and I got a LOT of use out of it. Then I bought a Toshiba one (which I didn't like much because of the passive screen; my wife has it now). From there I got an HP 1910 which I used for a couple years then the Ax. The screen on the Ax is about the same as the 1910 was but the Ax is a more powerful machine. So ... I guess I can say that the Ax is the best of the bunch to this point. Considering how well it is built and how stable it runs (WM2003/A02) I expect it to last 3 or more years. I hope it does because, frankly, I'm tired of upgrading and buying new ones!
