Finally got the x50v in the mail...

Doesn't look as small as some people have been saying, looks very very nice. Charging for 8 hours unfortunately, but I'm sure it will go quicker than my waiting on the shipping from Dell. Thought I had a dead pixel at first but it was nothing. Guess I'll be staring at that amber light for a bit.

Oh, and does it usually come with activesync, I didn't see the cd, only the mobile cd. Had to download 3.7.1 from dell's site.

You can grab 3.8 from Microsoft....

I think 3.7 is on one of the CDs though

You should have received a cd from Dell that had Activesync 3.7 and Outlook on it. If you didn't, you should definitely contact Dell and get one. However, you can download Activesync 3.8 for free from Microsoft. Hope this helps.

The 8 hours is long but definitely worth the wait.

Congrats on the long wait being over -- well, 8 hours from being over. I hope you come to enjoy your x50v as the rest of us! :approve:

Now I need to track down a reasonably priced 2200 battery and figure out how to run this thing.

Ok, couldn't wait the 8 hours, so messing around with it in the cradle. Popped in a CF card with the Spiderman movie...wow...this will be fun on trips. Some pixelization noticed but nothing major considering the size (370m).

Guess I'll be ordering from aximcases, good deal. thanks for the info.

If you haven't done so, I recommend you getteing a screen protector. Feels much more safe. ;p

08-15-05, 04:44 PM

I would second that on the screen protector. It is definitely worth it if you wish to prolong the life of your device. Well, the screen anyway.

krighton · 08-15-05, 04:52 PM

I ordered a couple Brando protectors a week ago, hopefully they'll be here this week sometime. Until then I'll use the stylus 'gently'. Oh, and does the green light when charging mean a full charge, I have a green light after 2.5 hours of initial charging.

Usotsuki · 08-15-05, 05:27 PM

Well, yeah, I assume since Red means charging, Green meansh charged.

And, for note, it is a total pain in the ass installing screen protectors, since even a stupid little dust particle will leave air bubble under the protector... and then you have to take it off and reapply it, and it repeats. >:/

kilthro · 08-15-05, 05:34 PM

It only took mine a few hours to charge the first time. Hope you enjoy your new device. I know I enjoy mine. :)
