Dell Axim X51 Pocket PC

Review: I have had my X51V for 6 months now and have had no problems with it. I have installed a X150 4GB SD and am using Skype Mobile 2.2 to receive and make calls with it when connect to my wireless network. My only suggestion is when you buy one make...

The Bottom Line: With its impressive feature list you can afford to overlook the faults in the x51v. Great Value.

The Bottom Line: Powerful, but it's unnecessary extra power is it's own undoing.

Review: The Dell Axim X51v is Dells fastest, best and last PDA, running the latest (at the time, now superceeded) Windows Mobile 55, running the fastest Intel XScale Pocket CPU, running at 624 MHz, this is a powerhouse. It has 128 MB of onboard ROM for...

Review: My Dell Axim X51v PDA won't hold a charge for more than about 5 minutes. The only solution seems to be to do a reset. I replaced the battery to the tune of $40, and no change.
I called Dell Customer Service, and they transfered me to India, and...

The Bottom Line: When it works, it is a powerhouse packed with features. However, without some tweaking of software, critical functions will not consistently work. Dell Customer support is outsourced and very poor.

Review: I sent my defective X51v back to Dell for refund. There's too many problems for a $400 pocket pc:
* Programs simply disappear from Today with no way of retrieval.
* Included "Switcher" loses track of programs running, crashes. WM5 loses...

The Bottom Line: This PDA would be good for anyone. It is easy-to-use yet can easily be configured with your email, download a few games, map/gps tools...

Review: I was unsure if I should buy a Dell or go with a different brand. So far I am glad I went with the Dell.

If you have ever tried using the internet on a phone this will be a big upgrade for you. The screen doesn't look all that big but...

Review: I bought the x51v from Sam's Club in January, 2006 to replace an iPaq. I received an extra battery and a 3 year service agreement with the purchase. I love the storage capability of the unit. I use it to hold "my life" and also for audio books I...

Review: Wow, I was suckered into getting this pda. I bought this fancy new Axim X51V from my favorite computer company DELL. Too sum up the performance- it is unreliable. I run 3 companies and use a pda religiously. The Axim has a lot of bugs, low battery...

The Bottom Line: If you need to take a computer with you, take a laptop. New cell phones can do as much as pocket pcs these days.

Review: I bought one from Dell.com 2 yrs ago and it never did connect to the Internet after numerous calls to support. THEN I was told I had the wrong pocket pc, I needed the NEW one with the BUILT IN wireless card. I bit, then packed the old one to my...
