Great PDA/GPS Combo!

Strengths: Big and bright screen, dual PDA/GPS capability, syncs well with Outlook

Weakness: A bit slow booting up when turned on

I have owned two other PDAs and I have been very happy with the Axim X51v's performance Not only does it excel in the normal PDA functions, but for a fraction of the cost of a stand alone GPS device, it can be inexpensively upgraded to be an excellent GPS device, too! To purchase a new PDA and a separate GPS device, I would easily spend over $1,100.00! But for significantly less, I get a GPS and...

The Perfect PDA

Strengths: Long battery life, lighthning speed

Weakness: None

This is the bet PDA I have ever owned and believe me I went through a lot of PDA's in the last 2 years. This is the first PDA, that is able to keep all my medical software at the same time and still have enough space for other programs. It has a super fast CPU, I can run multiple programs at the same time. It has a super long battery life, so I do not have worry about charging it. I love the...

Axim X51v PDA

Strengths: Excellent resolution

Weakness: Windows Mobile not compatible with other applications

The PDA works well except for locking up several times a day. In addition, one application (Microsoft Reader) needs to be rebooted during use. In addition, imbedded images could not be viewed within Pocket Word.

Great Axim

Strengths: Small, battery life, wi-fi, dock, case, screen quality, GPS, games, cool functions.

Weakness: occasionally doesnt turn on, then you just have to do a soft reset. sometimes i see a little glitch which causes horizontal lines on the screen

Good item overall, I like the writing functions because it makes it easier to write. I use this axim in class to take notes. I also use the phonebook quite frequently. It also comes with a few demo games like scrabble, bejeweled 2, and pool which helps me pass time. Wi-Fi capability is also a strength.

Strengths: Awesome Screen. Great Features. Good price.

Weakness: None.

This is one great PocketPC from Dell that has an amazing screen, one of the fastest processors, loaded with features like SD & CF slots, Bluetooth & WiFi & IR, smooth design, and is good looking.

Possibilities are endless....

Strengths: VGA screen, reasonable price, lots of features--624mhz, 256 mb memory. Takes sd and cf cards.

Weakness: many

This PDA will nice in a year or so when bugs are worked out of the operating system . WM5 is horrible. NOT true VGA support w/o hacks. Syncing is trouble to get going. And the x51v trys to sync every five minutes or so without cause. I am still having problems with the CF disappearing and occasional COMPLETE & UNEXPLAINED battery drain. Bluetooth support leave much to be desired. Once they get...

Testing and Testing this PDA as Laptop Replacement...

Strengths: Strong graphics, amazing speed, even the standard battery has a long life, I got the addittional battery larger size but haven't used it yet. Wifi is superb, Amazing and great GPS worth it.

Weakness: Not yet found any, 2gb SD card has lots of space still. Every website, crystal clear, SmartTV is amazing, Full features, Outlook, only wish Powerpoint could be interactive

I came as a great skeptic, not thinking I could ever think of replacing my laptop and as a frequent flier I am finding that this powerful PDA is really a strong contender for any cell phone PDA out there. HUGE Bonus, You NEVER have to pay monthly fees for subscriptions or by the KB. My take, is that the cellphone industry is trying to corner the PDA market and charge you for every ala carte item...

Strengths: VGA, Memory

Weakness: Looses the Memory cards after about an hour and requires a soft re-set all the time. Very annoying.

This PDA has it all, except it looses the storage cards all the time. i have to soft reset the device anytime that I want to access data off either memory card due to the fact that it cannot find it.

Dell x51v

Strengths: Unbelievable VGA Screen, Fast 624 MHz processor, SD & CF Memory Slots, Reasonable Size, Replaceable Battery, Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and Lock Switch.

Weakness: Size is not the most compact, but I didn't expect smaller for all these features and functionality

This is my first PDA ever. It looks stylish, although a bit bulky. I really love it. Equipped with Wifi and Bluetooth, it is convenient to connected to the internet. The VGA screen looks beautiful and must be good for game playing. Highly recommended.

Dell Axim X51v

Dell has managed to create a PDA that, like a high-performance sports car, appeals to the raw power lust in all of us. The X51v would feel right at home in the office, but it’s really aimed at users that want to watch videos, play games, and listen to music on their PDA. Dell couples a 624-MHz processor with a dedicated Intel 2700G graphics chip and a stunning 16MB of video memory. The screen,...

Dell Axim X51v Review

The X51v is in the top tier of current Pocket PCs thanks to its 624MHz "Bulverde" Intel XScale PXA270 processor. Currently, only the high end Dell Axim X30 model (QVGA) and HP iPAQ hx4700 run the same 624MHz processor. As you'd expect, the unit is fast, though you may see the slightest delay opening menus and windows since the device is running at VGA resolution and uses ROM rather than RAM for...
