    "see how this one works"

    by menk51 on December 22, 2005

    Pros: everything about it so far

    Cons: would like a VGA screen

    Summary: just returned the dell axim x51v
    nothing but issue with it,
    hoping not to have the issue I was having with AXIM
    still to new to give a full report
    but so far I have not had to reset unit to turn it on :)
    Updated
    Well, week and a half into using the HX2495 and I love it
    I had owed the Dell Axim x51v, I had to sent it back because of so many issue..
    One of the things I noticed right way was the internet is amazingly fast the hx2495 is and how the dell was so painfully slow, Accessing email via the wireless is very fast on the HX2495 and way too slow on the Axim
    I mean the internet access via wireless on the HX2495 is as fast as my desktop
    I have had non of the issue I had with the dell?..
    Have not had to reset the unit once, I had to reset the dell every time I needed to turn it on.. and the battery life is 150 % better than the dell I only need to charge this unit every couple of days and thats if I use it all the time, the dell would die after a few hrs?
    I have to say the screen on the dell was beautiful and I wish the 2495 had the same screen. With that said the screen on the HX2495 is very good, but its not vga like the dell.
    Buy this unit I have had no issues at all, in fact I am shocked.. I fully expected to have some of the same issues I had with the dell. But much to my surprise I haven?t had any issues..

    I've had it with Palm. My TX has been replaced 3 times for (1) spontaneous reboots, (2) screen stuck in calibration loop, and (3) screen develops "dead" spots. It is beautiful -- I even built a custom, hardened, leather-wrapped, leather-lined case for it. But I can no longer stand the hassle. After search & review, have chosen HP IPAQ 2495 over Dell Axim X51v.

    I have to reset it about every other time I turn it on. I had the same problem w/ the Axim I had and my wife's palm.
