Reviews for Dell Axim X50v PDA

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Powerful and Stylish. Excellent VGA screen. Compact Flash Slot.

Weakness: Battery life could have been longer.

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 v50x

Strengths: fast, reliable, supports BT and wifi, expansion slots for SD and CF

Weakness: Although it is not a problem so far, I would suggest to add more RAM onboard for that power...

I had Sony Clie before and this is far more powerful (and useful) than palm. In fact I only could read books and store my contacts on Clie. Now I can browse internet, use my dell as tape recorder (the quality of voice recording is very good!), GPS navigation system plus all the same things I did on Clie.

I would definitely recommend this product to everybody interesting in a real tool rather than a toy.

Very Good PDA

Strengths: Excellent (and large) screen, wireless capabilities, SD and CF readers

Weakness: Not much included software, a bit bulky

Overall, this is a very good PDA. The screen looks good (remember to use your protectors), and all the programs I use have run smoothly as far. Syncing up to your PC is really easy.

Battery life has not been much of an issue for me...maybe I don't use it enough.

Excellent PDA!!!!

Strengths: Huge VGA screen; attractive looking; excellent graphics; superfast processor; Multimedia workhouse -- plays MP3s, Movies, games, etc.; Ability to add navigation system and other peripherals

Weakness: won't replace your portable DVD player or PSP/GB; memory cards (CF or SD) can be costly for more memory (1 GB or more)

I love this thing--I use it for work as a medical professional and and for play. I listen to my MP3s on it, watch movies, look at pics and play games. Only problem is you'll have to dish out more money for the extra memory and software to run some those multimedia applications. Games are not quite up to par in comparision to a PSP or even a GB Advanced but fun none the less. I've used it at the airport to get on the internet (free WiFi network) which is cool but could be a little easier to set up. Also comes with Pocket versions of Window Excel, Word and Media. Overall, a great PDA!

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: nice screen, os is great

Weakness: battery life too short, constant recharging. very little software for this unit

Mine did not work from day one and had to serviced over and over. By the time I realized that I had a lemon, DELL refused to let me upgrade to the X51v or replace it, they would just repair it.
it's sitting next to my desk, just as dead as the day I bought it. DELL SUCKS!

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Definitelly the screen, the processor, and the large amount of user-accesible built-in storage

Weakness: For some reason Dell decided to remove the up-down side button. This was really handy in other models for scrolling pages and mapping to volume up-down in Media Player.

Overall this is an outstanding machine. For the price nothing comes close. The screen is really what sets it appart, really crisp, great color.
I have had some sporadic stability issues where I've had to force a soft reset.
The directional controller is a bit small but you get used to it.

Dell Axim X50v PDA

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 the 5th PDA that I have owned. It's predecessor's include 3 Palm devices, an iPAQ 3950 with Pocket PC 2002 which was a great PDA and now this Dell AXIM X50v. It is head and shoulders over anything else I have owned. The VGA screen is bright, crisp, and has great color. I have used Pocket-DVD Studio to rip DVD's down to memory chip size and WOW it is great. This unit has it all. The Lock Switch is a must have. My iPAQ would frequently get switched on because of bumping any of the buttons. When you have this unit locked, the buttons and screen are not active.

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone desiring a powerful PDA.

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: It is the best choice to buy it if you want a powerful display and high speed CPU for 3D gaming, or stonger wireless for internet connection, or a quality playback for video.

Weakness: The 64 MB RAM is not enough, and the bettery ran out quickly while using it as a GPS navigator.

The x50v I bought from DELL was only $340 with a promotion. It comes with 1-Year of Dell's service and support and Limited Warranty, 1-Year of Next Business Day Advanced Exchange Service, and an extra bettery. I used many PDAs, and this is the best one I've had. Since it comes with many useful software and the Integrated CompactFlash Type II and Secure Digital/SDIO Now!/MMC card slots provide flexible expansion, so now I can just bring it to school or cafes instead of my old and heavy laptop.

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Light, faaaast, sleek.

Weakness: None

This is an awesome buy if you want MP3, Video, and Schedule all in one. The video quality playback is excellent, so is the MP3. The only downsize about this product is the speaker, but once you plug in the headphone. It's blasting. It is not the sound card, it is because of the poor built-in speaker. I highly recommend it.

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Light, compact, dual memory slots, inexpensive add-ons. Fast and brainless WAN connections to both my home and university networks.

Weakness: None for this price point

Wonderful device for PowerPoint presentations; I use it for my lectures with the "Presentation Pack" to connect to any VGA projector.

I also use it in my car for GPS navigation applications, and it works wonderfully with both a compact flash gps and a bluetooth unit.

The screen is quite good, and I also use it for compressed DVD/movie viewing !

Wonderful device!

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Variety of features for a competitive price. Has a button disable lock

Weakness: not top of the line in quality, no camera, 64ram, short battery life

Overall, I am pleased with teh PDA. Dell has gone a long way since its first model and overal stability of the PDA has improved. Most problems I had were gone after intallation of the latest rom upgrade. The quality of it is just short of most expensive brands. For example, the screen is not as beautiful as h4700 and no separate speakers. Aside from that, I really appreciate the button disable lock not present in most other competitive brands and an extremely useful feature. The battery life is subjective, but overall, I wished the dell just came with better batteries. The extended batteries can add alittle more bulk and jeapoardies its otherwise good aesthetic appeal.

Good PDA

Strengths: Screen, reasonable price, wi-fi & BT, fast, upgradable to Windows Mobile 5.0

Weakness: Other than buying more programs.. can't think of any

This is my first PDA and I owned it for a couple weeks before I returned. I bought it so that I can make notes, and surf the web. I found it more of a chore to surf the web. The device also could not recognize my handwriting and would mix-up letters (even though I have pretty good handwriting).

There are plenty of programs to enhance the AXIM x50v, but unfortunately the good ones are not free. You can easily spend another $50 or more on additional applications.

I think I will wait until Windows Mobile 5.0 releases before I pick up another PDA.

Dell Axim X50v PDA

Strengths: Ability to give you greater organization and ability to connect online whenever you are able to get a wireless connection

Weakness: I'm afraid I'm gonna break it since it was so expensive. The speaker is kind of weak as well but other than that it is awsome.

It took me awhile to figure out how to work it. For the most part I have gotten it figured out but it still seems as though I am discovering something else I can do with this great device. I would recommend it to anyone.

Axim 51v

Strengths: gpsbundle,ease of use

Weakness: customer support

Overall it is a great product. I recommend the cradle to keep it charged. It took some time to get the GPS loaded.
The instructions do not tell which ports to use. After about an hour on the phone with customer support we finally got it. the GPS feature is better than most

Great PocketPC. Loaded with Features.

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. It has everything and is priced well. You can put in a 2GB card and carry your movies around on this to watch anywhere. You can use it as a GPS with an optional GPS receiver. Possibilities are endless. Battery life is satisfactory though not very good. But overall its a great buy. love it.

The Axim X50v blends digital entertainment with productivity in a well-rounded package that's excellent value for money - as long as you can get on with the fiddly navigation controller and middling battery life.

Dell Axim X50v Pocket PC Review

If you're looking for an highly expandable Pocket PC with integrated wireless, the Dell Axim X50 should be on your short list. The X50 models have standard QVGA transflective color displays, both a CF slot and an SD slot supporting SDIO, speedy Intel XScale processors and run the latest Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition OS. <p> <p>
