The fact that it isn't here yet :P

Well, here's a few:

1 - (and number 1 in my book) the case it comes with is AWEFUL! It literally almost doubles the size of the unit. Useless...

2 - Screen is a little small in comparison to the iPaq (since most are coming from an iPaq I would assume)

3 - I wish the JogDial and SD Slot switched places. The Jog dial is lower which makes it difficult.

4 - Flat stylus takes a little getting used to...

That's all I can think of right now, pretty minor issues all and all (the Case really bothers me being there aren't any after-markets available yet)

Seconded. Though, my "disappointment" is in the sells rep that messed up my order, charged me for an order I didn't make, and canceled the order that was placed on the 18th! It's because of him I'm still waiting.

Erm... isn't this thread a bit obvious? "It's a little heavy", "The stylus is odd shaped", "the reset button is a little too far in", "I'm confused with what to do with my left over money.", "the screen is could be bigger", "The stylus doesn't have a built in grip warmer to warm my fingers.", "It's an Xscale", "It's not an Ipaq, and I'm not sure how I feel about that."

Play nice now, young man :P

I really didn't like the cheap plastic stylus, I just couldn't get used to it.

If I'm not careful, I tend to activate the scrollstick button just by holding the unit. It's where the base of my thumb naturally goes. But I have small hands, so maybe it's different for others.

Now if it was where the *tip* of my thumb goes, that would be useful!

I thought I wasn't going to like the rubber side grips but I do.

I kinda wish that the CF slot had a door instead of a "slug". When I put in my memory card the top isn't as smooth and pretty as it was. Not a big deal though.

I don't see why they can't put at least one button on the right side. I know that seems to be PPC convention, but it just seems a bit weird to me that one side is completely lacking in ports/buttons. Probably makes cases work better though.

And speaking of cases, yes the one that comes with it bites. For some reason they chose a cheap case that makes it more than twice as thick as the Axim itself.

My problem is that I need to upgrade to a new Windows OS on my
notebook. My Win95 just does not cut it as I can't synch with the Axim
via USB
