Dell Axim X51

i have been buying dells for years - i have five - all broken - i kept buyiong for compatibility - they last for two years then pack up - get slower and slower = error messages - battery latch falls off - rubber feet fall off - refuse to connect to internet - instructions useless - wont sync properly - they have stopped them now - their repair service was rubbish any way - i will never ever buy dell again.

Totally disappointed that the backup battery packed up after 13 months.

Means that periodically I have to reload everything.

I see various other people have same problem and wonder if there is a design fault.

Having had several PDA's I have found the Dell Axim 51v to be the best all round. The Palm T5 was second but its is several years ago since I tested any other but the Dell Axim and so there may be better PDAs available now.

Really enjoy using the Dell Axim. Very easy to use, with some great features. Battery life is rubbish with the standard battery (1100maH). Bluetooth is the only available wireless service on the 416mHz model which it doesn't tell you on the dell website. You can get some great programs for it and it also has a cf and sd expansion slots which is great for storing music, pictures, movies, etc.
