X50v Metal or Plastic?

Is the new Dell Axim metal or plastic? After reading the reviews, you can't really tell.

Let's hope its not metal, because then you'll need a trolly to bring it around :lol:

I think it's the same high quality plastic as used on the 2215.

Hey.... They have light metal alloys nowadays.

That would make the Pocket PC that much more appealing.

The weight of it has been given. And in terms of size, it's smaller than my X5, so if I can handle that....

Anyway, I *think* the 4700 is the only current Pocket PC with a metal casing, but I could be wrong.

The Jornada 54x series was metal and some found it pretty heavy (alhough I always found the weight re-assuring!), but the Toshiba e750 is metal and certainly no heavyweight. So I think agree that a device the size of the X50 in a nice lightweight alloy would be very appealing.
