Anyone looking for a 4GB sandisk CF? Anyone having the same issues? Anyone know if they will fix the x51v so i can use it again?

Anyone know if the x51v can be used as a projectile weapon? :throwcomp

It's a fun toy, but I have definately lost a lot of respect for the dell sales department considering they told me the x51v can do everything the x50 did and more.... LIE! LIE! LIE! they should have said "One day it MAY do more.. but for now it's buggy"..

Of course, like many of you, I didn't have a choice of OS when ordering the unit from Dell.. Which means, they sold us a beta product. They should OFFER to have the other os installed on it, just so people couldn't freak out about the fact they had no choice in the matter.

Oh well, at least the NES & SNES emulator works, so yay!

Must be a Sandisk issue JoePUNK... I've got a Kingston 4GB CF card and it works like a charm (unless, of course, you count the times it sort of disappears until I do a soft reset; but then all flash media seem to do that in the Dell units).

Which SNES emulator did you get to work with the X51v? PocketSNES and Yame don't work for me on my X51v.

JoePUNK

Indeed, you are correct.. I copied it and a bunch of roms, but just assumed it would work..

POCKET SNES does indeed NOT WORK.. grr

Anyone find an SNES emulator for mobile 5? Even if it's slow, i would like to say I carry around an NES, SNES, GBA ...etc but I've had no luck with GBA on mobile 5 either :(

The sega genesis emulator was way to slow the last time I fussed with it.

Well, that sucks anyways....

I WANT MY.. I WANT MY ... I WANT MY AXIM/MOBILE 5 UPDATE...

does morphgear works on wm5?

Morphgear works terrific on the 51v, at least it does for me. Faster than the 50v and no issues.

Cool! Thanks, now I have all my emulation systems back!

I have a X51v and it frequently looses my 4GB SanDisk CF card requiring a soft reset. Also, I have had the white screen of death. SHEESH!

I just hope a Microsoft software patch will be the answer!

Well guys I called them about a week ago. I asked for a time window asking if I could expect these updates within a week. He seemed pretty darn sure within a week would be more than enough time to get the updates out there. So lets see come monday...if there is no updates then I guess Ill call him tuesday. He seemed pretty sure, but who knows with Dell... people are still waiting for the wm5 disc for heavens sakes... If Dell was a student and the customer was a teacher all this late work done half assed would have failed dell a long time ago. But heres hopin on tomorrow. Current bets...does the patches come out on time...and do they actually fix anything{ White screen of Death, Load Time, Turning ON the Device, Bluetooth Support}.
Im hoping yes on both accounts, but it sounds so foolish to have that kindof faith.

MCMANNUS

Well everyone brace urself for this one....it may come as a surprise but Dell lets us down again!!! No updates today.

You know I just talked to Dell, and they blamed Microsoft, who they say is holding the release becasue of problems with WM4. Expect shipments in 2-3 days.

You know there is a REASON, I stay a 1/2 generation behind.

MCMANNUS

Are you talking about shipments of wm5...

or patches for wm5

Well the patches/updates Im refering to in this forum are ones handed down from Microsoft more than two weeks ago to dell. Furthermore as far as some of the bluetooth problems go...some of them are dells fault...they hacked the registry.

Honestly, I would suspect that they would have went through all the kinks before selling the product. After all, that's what companies do before putting a product out there and letting the consumers work out the kinks. When I receive mine in a few days I would hope it comes with a cd with all the kinks out.

Yukster

My guess is that its all related. Dell is going to put the fixes on the WM5 update CD, so my guess is that the update CD and the patches will be released at the same time, along with releaseing other languages versions of the X51 such as in Japanese.

MCMANNUS

Yeah im starting to get the same impression
