It's a Dell, Dude!
Rich Hall over at Pocket PC Magazine has written a review of the Dell Axim - worth reading if you haven't yet ordered your Axim X5 (affiliate link), give it a read.
"I was quite impressed with the high-performance version of the Axim X5 that I reviewed. It's not the smallest or lightest of the Pocket PCs reviewed in this issue. But it's nice to look at, fits comfortably in your hand, and has a powerful Intel processor, two expansion slots, and replaceable batteries. It can hold its own against any of the top Pocket PCs available, and at $300, it costs about half the price of its competitors. I didn't get a chance to look at the value version of the Axim X5. But the specs seem to indicate that it's just about as good as the top-of-the-line model.
I asked Dell about their future plans. Of course, they want to see how the Axim X5 sells, but I got the feeling they are excited about the possibilities. The two current models have PC connectivity but no other built-in communications. I think they have plans for devices with built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but they were close-mouthed about dates."

while it's a nice read, I would hardly call it a review as it stays descriptive at all times. A missed opportunity!
