Travel to England & Italy

[Quixote]

I will visting Europe in a few weeks and was wondering what I need to bring with me to ensure I can use my Axim x50v. I own a Belkin 3-in-1 kit. Does anyone know if I can use the AC plug with the appropriate European adapters? Or must I bring the Dell cradle to ensure my Axim doesn't get burnt out?

The dell charging unit is dual voltage and will work quite well in Europe. All you need is a plug adapter to accept the US plug and connect to the wall socket for the countries you visit. You can get those adapters at any Radio Shack, or travel shop. You might not even need them if the hotels you stay in have the "shaving" outlets that accept the US plugs, but depending on that may be a bit more risky. You don't need the cradle, but you will need to take the little fan shaped adapter that plugs into the bottom of the X50 and accepts the power connector from the wall power unit.

In UK they use the big 3-flat-pin plugs, while in Italy they have the 2-round-pin ones. In UK, most hotels have special sockets installed and you probably don't need an adapter. In Italy, most smaller hotels do not have "shaver" outlets.
