I am going to hold off on shipping my 51 back.
It has most of the issues if not all.
Power button, white screen lock up, etc, etc, etc.
What I don’t understand is why some are comparing the 50 and 51 as different units.
The only difference between the two is the model number on the case.
This is definitely a OS problem.
I’m not buying into the thought of these problems being the fault of installed second party applications either.
My first computer was a desktop 286 with a 20 megabyte HD with 6 megabytes of Ram.
And I still have some old programs from that era, and they work in my 3ghz Dell.

What I am getting at here is from my experience I have found most of my old software “has always worked” for me with new or upgraded operating systems.
You never see crashes and issues like what is happening with the Axim.
There is nothing at all wrong with the 51v models because they are the tried and true 50 model under a different name.
5.0 OS is the problem, and we are the guinea pigs for Microsoft and Dell.
Let’s see;
Dell is the biggest player as to which vender will be using 5.0.
I see kickbacks from Microsoft to Dell because of all the needless returns of their 51.
Why do you think Microsoft or Dell is not releasing the CD for 5.0 to its 50 owners yet?
We are the testers and victims for Microsoft and Dell – AND I WANT A CUT!!!
So why send your 51 back and take the chance of getting someone else’s refurb that went tumbling down the stairs.
Has anyone tried to install the older operating system in their 51?
No need to!!!!! Dell already has with the 50 model!!
My two cents.
