I too have owned many PPC (1910, Maestro, 4150, 4355, E70, X5, X3) as well as many palms, (original, 5000, m100, v, vx, m500, m505, t2, t3, zire 71, zire 72).
Currently own an x50v for about 1 month. IMO: Screen is beautiful, however response is incredibly slow. Movies look great but standard battery barely last to finish one. Streams video (avis compressed w/ pocketdivixencoder) over the wifi well enough but again battery drains twice as fast so can only get about 45 mins.
The battery really needs help, I have 2 regular batteries and it is still a pain. Fortunately the cradle allows on to be charged separate from the unit.
Processor is really fast when max is enabled, really sluggish when on auto.
Wifi interface is much smoother however range is much less than the 4350 I had, often when switching to another network (different location) it requires a soft reset to connect.
Ergonomically the unit is great except for every time I lift it out of the cradle I press the record button. Button lock is a great feature however. Although when the unit wakes for an alarm it stays on until I attend to it. Many times I have had the battery drain because an alarm went off in my briefcase and wifi was on from a previous session, so the unit just sat there w/ wifi enabled and the screen on (even after the alarm had cycled). Need a way to have the unit go back to sleep after an alarm (I have the screen set to turn off in 1 min when on batt power)
Overall,
Pros:
Screen
Form factor
Dual slots
Appearance
Button lock
Cons
BATTERY - warning purchase the extended battery
WiFi range
Alarm quirks - this could be an OS issue not specific to axim?
Sluggish response - Most programs can't use the graphics horsepower - yet.
