I have a dark blue background, and I don't have any lines. I've been putting my Axim through its paces, and I'm very pleased . A minor gripe is that you have to put it in the docking cradle just right :? .

Lines?!?! 8O I played with the Dell Axim at in Las Vegas the first day of the event, before I had to fly home and I did not notice anything. I know that the Dell folks in the booth had just gotten their units 4-5 days before the event. They may have been messing around or had low batteries, but as soon as I get mine I will let everyone know. Later!!

The unit that I played with was at a Dell Kiosk in SE Pennsylvania. Perhaps it was a bad unit, but there were definately noticible horizontal lines in the display.

Would one of you lucky owners/testers be willing to take some pictures of your new Dell? I have some product manufacturers requesting some pictures to help them in developing accessories for the Axim. If you would like to help, they requested the following:

"A 100% zoom scan of the front and back of the Dell Axim X5. Please place a ruler with inches and centimeters on one side when you do the scan, this will ensure us to make the correct scan calibration."

Thanks in advance!!

Ah, at last someone who saw what I appeared to be the only one to see!
At Comdex I noticed something wa "off" in the display of the 4 units I tried. Hard to pinpoint, but going into excel and moving the scroll bar made it really visible. There were lines/strips on that bar, typical sign of a low refresh rate. I tried the 3955 that was sitting next to the Dell and it didn't do that.
Can someone who's received theirs check possibly check that?

I dunno if this has been mentioned in the thread, but I find the corners of the screen harder to tap (needs more touch to register). Might just be my unit. And on the whole the screen's not as sensitive as my iPAQs...
