C|net Reviews the Dell Axim X5 (400 MHz)

[PromoGuy]

I didn't see it posted elsewhere so here it is: C|net gives the Axim X5 their "Editor's Choice" award (http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-2709830-404-20702372.html?tag=byline).

yeah thanx for posting,

I remember seeing that review a while ago...

By the way does anyone know what kind of battery life you get using the extended battery of the Axim???

[Sslixtis]

The Extended Battery is Awesome. It seems to last forever. At 3400mAh it over twice the capacity of the standard battery. I read an eBook with backlight on Max, CPU set to auto for 7 hrs straight and still had 71% charge left on the Extended Battery. I'm going to have to do a better test one of these days, but that is all I've done so far. :wink:

The 3955 seems like a nice device. What made you switch to the Dell?

So say .3x = 7 hours, that would get....nearly 24 hours straight!?!?!

Granted it isn't gaming or playing multimedia, but that's still straight up amazing. I'd be happy with a good 5 hours from my Maestro. :D

Does the extended battery also make the device (Axim) bigger or is it the same size as the priginal one?

[Rirath]

Good to see someone who still uses the proper C|Net.

[Andy Whiteford]

The extended battery is thicker than the standard battery so would make the Axim bigger.

alright, thanx for the reply.
