User Submitted Dell Axim X50 Handheld Pocket PC 416MHz ReviewsDate: 2009-10-19 Mini computer I actually bought the Dell Axim x50 at a yard sale for $10! I'd say I got a bargain at ten times that price. The unit was new in 2003-4 I guess. Good: Fully Wi-Fi compatible. Bad: WEP or nothing. I had to disable the encryption on my home router. It was just easier Good: Screen can be used vertically or horizontally. Screen is bright and easy to read even for a vision impaired person such as myself Bad: Nothing bad related to screen Good: Plenty of software still available Bad: It's hit or miss whether programs will work or not. No Java or Flash applications work. Windows 2003, Windows CE and Pocket PC? I'd like to "flash" it with a XP or something newer Good: Battery life about 4 hours Recharges almost fully (97%) in about thirty minutes Bad: Make a backup of your settings because if the back-up battery dies you start over Good: SD card slot. Bad: There is a 32 gig SD card available but it probably won't work. I wouldn't pay $80 to find out! Bad: I found 1 Flash II hard drive but only 5 gig. Good for a PDA I guess. Bad: I tried to sync with the recommended and built in software but the PDA has an old version and the new version for the PC didn't work. If you want to sync your data put it on the SD card and use a card reader or do it manually with bluetooth. Good: Bluetooth Bad: Really choppy when wearing the ear piece. Use headphones. Bad: This is not a phone! Good: Maybe there is a 3rd party application that would make it a wi-fi phone. Skype doesn't work with it and I haven't checked others. Anyone know? If you know more about this item and have more input don't be afraid to add it here! All in all I still love it! Date: 2009-06-13 Unhappy What I wanted was a PDA that would enable me to access the internet and download the needed software. Unfortuately, I can not do either as the internet card does not work that accommpanied the PDA and I can not download anything unto to drive as its error message is stating that it does not have enough space. Therefore, the two basic reason for purchasing the PDA is not being fulfilled. Date: 2009-01-19 As described I was very pleased in the time that the product arrived. It was in the exact shape that the seller had listed. I would use this seller again. Date: 2006-01-13 Dell Axim X50 416mh I have purchased this product and had the idea that it offered 802.1 wifi compatibility. It didnt so i had to go out and buy a socket wifi CF card. Other than this problem i have been fine. Works smoothly but its battery could be a little longer. Lasts about 2 days when in fair use. Excellent for non-wifi users. Holds SD CF type memory cards, contacts,appointments, tasks, any media file (not on all DMA files), and if u have the right tools the memory card could hold a couple full length movies. Overall Excellent Product high 4 stars Date: 2006-01-10 Seamless functions After having my Palm go completely un-synchable, I was determined to find an easy to use, up to date PDA. Though my needs are generally for addresses and appointments, the Axim was so easy to set up and use that I will explore its other uses. The software offers continuous synching while it is attached to my computer, and simple drag-and-drop for moving files from the computer. In short, the Axim suits my needs perfectly and promises easy exploration of other, more entertaining functions.
