Planning on Buying

[Matthews255]

Hello Axim Site, I am planning on buying the Dell Axim™ X51-520 MHz Handheld from Dell Europe for £219.

Ive been looking for a nice PDA for a while now, I was interested in the HP iPAQ rx1950 but after looking into it I thought that that was not the best use of my money.

I then stumbled on the Axim X51 while looking through Cnet.com. Which is how I was linked to here with the fix for the WSOD bug.

There seem to be a few glitches in the X51 but there seem to be a load of fixes for them, which is more that I can say for the iPAQ's.

As this is only £45 more than I was planning on spending on a PDA, I would rather spend that and get quality then not spend it and have a crap piece of hardware in my hands.

Would you recommend that I buy the Axim X51 as a good, value for money device that would give good usage?

I can see potential for expantion with the SD slot for memory and the CF for some nice things.

Anyway, any comments would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
~Matthews255

Welcome! You have come to the right place my friend. When looking for the perfect pda, look no further than the X51v. Ok, so I'm a little biased. What did you expect at AXIMsite? Welcome aboard.

Cheers, Im planning on going into town and testing out some PDA's first hand.

And mannc7 the sites you provided were a great help!

if you can run to it, you may want to consider the complete care warranty. You can't add it later and it will cover you for accidental damage.

(and add some money into the to buy a 3rd party case and a decent screen protectors - Not the Dell ones)

cheers for that, I thought you could add care onto your PDA once you bought it.

I will do that!

I'm sure that there are many who wished they could. Yeah, you need to add it at the time of purchase.
