There's a thread over on Aximsite.com where a poster apparently got concrete details about the cost and release date of the rumored X50.

Who cares about the mid, the high is where it really stands out...499 for all that.. compared to at least 599, and 649 of the HP 4700! Great deal, expecially with all of the coupons dell gives out...

Don't mind him :roll:
VGA screen, 627MHz, Bluetooth/WiFi, CF & SD, and a sleek shaped reminiscent of the 4150 instead of a brick for under $500 + the usual coupons and discounts????
My 4150 is packing its bags as we speak.

Yup, it's a bargain and it LOOKS more like an iPAQ than the HPs do! $499 for the unit + $200 for 2GB SD card, you got a much better Pocket PC that what HP offers!

oh...and now with the new sandisk cards announced, you can have 10 gb of storage on your PPC (8gb CF + 2gb SD) 
thats alot of memory, and with dell's bluetooth keyboard and the vga screen, you can actually really think about leaving the laptop home...wow. now if it only had a gsm/gprs chip in it...sigh. in time i'm sure...

Price After Dell Discounts
Let's see, if Dell's usual discounts hold the final price will be:
$499
- $74.85 (automatic 15% off)
- $40 ($40 off of $400 coupon code; act fast because it's limited to 1500 uses :wink
+ $0 shipping (we're already waiting for the deal, what's another couple of weeks?)
+ $19.21 tax (depends on location, I assumed 5%)
= $403.36 (...with an estimated ship date of January 3).
Granted, this is hypothetical, but $403 for a VGA PPC with CF, SDIO, Bluetooth 1.2 and 802.11b? Heck, even at $499 it smokes the hx4700... and could be on your doorstep by November. Please excuse me while I wipe the drool off of my keyboard.
