I've held and used an Axim X51v and XDA Exec - they both felt slow - even sluggish - compared to my fully loaded Loox 720. I can also go by the many posts on Aximsite where people complain that upgraded X50v PPCs are slower to a frustrating level. I don't doubt your experience - just that it is the norm.
It isn't an 'anti-Axim' thing - it's a 'I'm not sure if I'm ready to abandon the advantages of WM2003 SE yet - even for one of the next generation Looxes or any other PPC

Don't mourn CF slots yet. They were saying the same thing three years ago when I bought my first Axim. "They included a CF slot? Why? CF is dead."

I'm one of the great defenders of dual slot machines with CF slots - and I agree - the death of CF slots has been predicted for a while without it happening. This is the reality though - gradually CF slots have become a high-end device only feature - and now a number of high end devices have become announced/released without CF slots. People want a) compact devices; and b) full features - the first thing to go, to enable either of these, is always going to be the CF slot.
Do I like this? No. But you and I are in a minority now - and swiming against the tide.
Will their be any more high end PPCs with CF slots? Maybe (though I would not be prepared to put money on it) - but they will be vanilla devices like the current HP, Dell and FSC cream of the crop and those who want the vanilla devices are fewer and fewer.
