VGA. Which is better? X51v or HP4700?
I couldn't pass up the $324 sale on t X51v, so I ordered one last night with a 1gSD. I'm only dissapointed I couldn't get my hands on one before I bought it, but I did check out the local CUSA to see what the W5 was like. While I was there I noticed the 4700, and that beautiful VGA screen. Spectacular!!
My question is, does the X51v look as good as the 4700?



Palm IIIxe, HP2210, and soon, but not soon enough - X51v

Thanks

No, the now discontinued 4700 had what many agree is the best VGA display ever offered on a pda. OTH, the Dell display is darn good!

I'm suprised Darkdestroyer hasn't jumped all over this yet :)

Read a review 'bout the 4700's display was rated, in the author's opinion, clearer, better color retention, etc.

The Ax's display is pretty darn good too!

yes, ditto , 4700 better but HP support worst. I went from hp (ipaq 5455) to Dell (X51v) and overall it was a good move.
most of the bugs have been fixed by axim users in these forums.

The build quality and screen color of hp4700 are better. Its touchpad is crap. It is more expensive and runs on wm2k3 - we need wm5.
