Everytime I insert/take out an SD or CF card the Axim turns on, weird or normal?

Also anyone had an initial problem with your desktop PC not recognizing the Axim when plugged in to USB port (and your ActiveSync 3.6 doesn't pick it up)?

Oh, and I had the hardest time finding the reset button w/o reading the manual

1. Happens with mine.

2. Didn't have this problem

3. In my impatience, I skimmed the manual before it arrived.

1. I think this is normal, and I recall it occurring with my HP Jornada.
2. My Dell Latitude didn't recognize the Axim - I had to install the drivers for the USB port.
3. Manuals? We don't need no stinkin' manuals! I turned my Axim over and over until I found the reset button. I did find the Notes button :? .

you have to install AS 3.5 first. AS 3.6 from MS is missing lots of USB drivers. if you need 3.6 features, you can upgrade.

Why is Dell "loaning" you the Axim? Can they not afford to just give you one? HaHa.

Does anyone know if the Dlee does anything that other existing PPCs don't or is it just the Dlee version of the same?

Daniel
Nope , Not deliberate but the result of frozen hands. (as were the other misspellings) I live in Charlotte which just went through one of the worst ice storms in years. No power for most of the city (heck, most of the state) and 22 deg F temps. NO HEAT. But I tell you guys , in a situation such as this a POCKET PC is almost as valuable as a radio and a flashlight. Amazing how being able to access the Internet in a bad situation such as this makes the time go by.......I actually did use it as a flashlight Heck , I was going to sell my IPAQ but am now considering keeping it as a spare...... (Est ship date for my new Dell December 23)

Has anyone who has received their Axim noticed horizontal lines on the display? The unit I played with a few weeks ago had these and they were quite noticible, especially on darker backgrounds.
