My Dell Axim is the stupidest $500 I ever spent. It locks up, won't recharge, needs constant tending and the battery life is like that of an insect. If you need this kind of useless equipment, buy another brand. Sure, they ship quickly, but using the Microsoft platform just adds to the problems.
Dell does not support their PDA's so if you do buy one, spend the money for the extended service. Dell does not make a reliable PDA. I am on my third one and it is now a paperweight. In my case, the repair cost was stated at $199 and they would send a factory reconditioned unit. You can buy there bottom end PDA, brand new for $199.
I ll be short. Send some mercy. But I refuse to understand this ridiculous mumbling, robot's phrases,like "Or Mister Smith, I understand your frustration". I noticed that some of the happy Dell customers are happy for the first couple of months. But what kills me the most is the fact thaty they LIE to you. Wait till your warranty expires. I am really tired of explaining in details what i HATE about Axim X5, and how I regret that I was on a cheap side and bought this monster. Listen, I speak with an accent, I live in New York, I got used to dozens of accents.
This axim x5 is good only for 6-7 months then its good for hammering nails. I am sure that nobody is happy about an idea of buying a new Pda from Dell every 8-10 months, except for Michael Dell.So quality is bad, and I am really surprised as they do pretty good laptops and desk tops.Customer service: God. Yeah right. "Did you sent my axim 5 back." "Yes we did." 3 weeks later no results.I am tired of dell,
Worst of all, it didn't fix the problem. I ended up calling Dell Support to help troubleshoot my problem and they told me to perform a "hard boot". I bought one of the Dell Handhelds and found that the SD slot did not work after buying three cards to try. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was informed that they didn't have one because "they've all gone home". They failed to tell me that this would wipe all my data on the device and I lost two days worth of information on it. When I found that this was the case and the representative didn't mention that it would wipe it all, I was very frustrated. As a result, it's been sent back and I'm very happy with my iPaq--and its support. Buy a Compaq, they know that data is important and my calls to support don't get treated as a casualty of doing business.
But I do recommend you get the first 3. This is my first Pocket PC. Go get this product. Small memory (32 MB).SIMPLIFIED:*Cradle for fifty dollars.*Customer Support sucks*Small Default Memory (32 MB)BOTTOM LINE:If this is your first handheld to buy, buy it.
This is because this little handheld is pretty amazing (with some attachments). If I were you, I would buy it. With the optional SD and CF card (if you're going to get one of these, i recommend to buy a large SD card. It has a CF slot and a SD slot.
I don't think so. I bought DELL because my computer is DELL and it's pretty good. This is because if you buy a CF card, your CF slot is full, forcing you not to put in additional attachments such as GPS, camera, ect)., you can add music, MOVIES, books, maps, and virtually anything digital memory. Without the optional SD and CF card, you can still add these, but the Dell Axim does not really have the memory. INTRO:Hey, if you're reading this review, you are thinking whether to buy this or not.
Also has a "Hard Reset" which is basically like "reformatting" except it takes less then a minute. You can watch movies, listen to songs, never get lost (GPS), take photos, and virtually anything with the optional attachments.SIMPLIFIED:*Slim*Fast*Bluetooth*CF and SD Slot*Hard Reset *Play movies/music*Never get lost (GPS) OPTIONAL*You can do virtually anything (digital) with the optional attachmentsCONS:A cradle for fifty dollars. The customer support can be better, if you know what I'm talking about. I tried to call them for something simple, asking for the foldable keyboard, and they put me on hold for 30 minutes. PROS:This DELL Axim is pretty slim, and pretty fast. CAPABILITIES:Well, first thing first. It is the best you can ever get in the price range.
If you happen to buy the GPS from Pharos (recommended by DELL), you cannot fit the headphones because its right next to the CF slot. It also features BLUETOOTH technology for wireless stuff. But before you go off and buy it, read the recommendation below.ADDITION TO THIS PRODUCT:256mb Lexar SD Card128mb SanDisk CF CardScreen ProtectorPharos GPSPharos GPS Car KitVEO CameraCONCLUSION:All the above products are optional. It's well worth the money.
