well, my x50's (low) screen is screwed up, and it costs the same to get it fixed as it does to get a refurb x51. so i can get a newer pda for about the same price.... any input? (sufficient funds are available)

thx,
nathan

Get the X51V. Its a great unit.

Time for the 51... :approve::approve::approve::approve:

i thought there were problems with the x51, so i wasn't sure..... i had been running wm5 on my x50 for a while, so i assume those are the same problems.

ktvyeow

It's not exactly the same. I think the X51 is (way more) stable than the X50 with WM5.

ooo even betteR?!?

Get a x51v. You'll get not only a speed boost, but a nice VGA screen. If your gonna spend that kinda money, you might as well throw in a few more bones and get the next step up. Plus I was seeing some hellacious deals on the x51v's. My uncle just picked one up for $350 with an aluminum case, extra 2200 battery, and a few other addons BrandNEW. (I think he also had a 3yr warranty.)

I paid $375 on Amazon.com for a regular new x51v with default accessories. I'm sure you can find one either "Almost New" here on the forums for cheap, or a refurb from an authorized dealer like "Amazon" so you can get the 1yr warranty.

unfortunately, i am a little restricted as to price, and i think i will stick with the x51 low... i dont need any fancy things... just that is fine.... it already will be better than my x50 low.... mor memory..... os built in instead of added..... stuff liek that

Get the X51V refurb. It will probably be one that the prior person did not do "fake server" fix, and sent it back as "defective" which it wasn't. The X51V is a great unit.

I'd say get the refurb. Sounds like the situation is right for it.

nathanwj

any other input?

ironchef

Unless you only do the most basic stuff, the VGA screen is well worth the extra $. After trying it, I'll never own a PDA with anything less.

refurb $350.00 thats with shipping. with extended 3 year waranty and buncha extra goodies.
