Customer Reviews

Sleek prodouct
I like the sleek design of the product and its expansion capabilities. It seems to be still relevant in today's environment.

Dissapointed
Bought the Axim in November, by January it died. This is the second purchase, hoped that the 2nd time would be a charm. While it WAS working, I enjoyed the user friendly components of the PDA. Just wish that it was reliable.

Not a dinosaur yet!
Dell put out 5 different models of the AXIM, with each of them having several different variations between 2002 to the 9th of April in 2007, before they were discontinued.
This action didn't have any thing to do with their ability to stand up as a leader and a giant in a declining market for the PDA-stand alones, but cell phone-PDA's have grown to be a more popular product in the market today.
Dell Axim was the leader, and still remains the leader in some cases, with the Intel XScale Processor. The Dell Axim is operating on a Microsoft Mobile Windows platform, which makes it more compatible to most Applications than some cell phone-PDA's today.
The Dell Axim X30 has three different variations: one is the 312mhz processor with no wireless (although optional), another has a 312mhz processor with Wi-Fi and blue-tooth, and on the high-end was the 624mhz processor with Wi-Fi and blue-tooth.
Now as much as you have the option to set the processor speed within range, to preserve battery life, I like the one with the 312mhz, because they don't run hot, and the battery lasts longer.
And by the way; PDA-stand alones will never become a dinosaur to me, and I could never be programmed into the matrix of the cell phone-PDA's, because if you are on a private call, discussing a subject on your PDA, now you got yourself a problem trying to get the information with your PDA glued to the side of your face.
For example: how many times were you on the phone with someone and asked them for a telephone number that was stored in their phone, and they answer you with "I'll have to hang up to get the number, and than I'll call you back"

The only problem that I have seen with this particular model: the X30 has a tendency to get vertical lines on the screen, while it also freezes up. In some cases you can do a soft or hard reset to fix the problem.

ipaq 1945 worse device I have ever used
In my profession I use many electronic devices from pc's to measuring devices. This unit is by far the most unreliable of anything I have used to date. I've been trying to use my ipaq for simple pda purposes and it always has some sort of problem from not syncing with my pc at work or at home to just not turing on or off at times. It has lost information more times than I can count and it just doesn't want to go on line with the wireless card that I bought. I took it to my local Best Buy and was told to buy another unit because this one is just not usable because of the reliability issue. They didn't even want to look at it. I wish I could just return it but unfortunatly I don't have the online information to do so, I guess I'm just out the price of admission...$200 plus. I wouldn't buy another ipaq if my life depended on it.

Excellent!
I've had this little bugger for almost a full week now, and I must say, I think it was the best investment I've made concerning tools for my career (freelance writing). The Pocket version of Word is the handiest thing for an English Major on the run. I can work on whatever writing projects I have going, whenever or wherever I have the chance, and it is fully compatible with my Win XP desktop at home. And with it's organizer capabilities, it certainly eliminated a TON of the clutter in my bookbag/purse. (Before, I was carrying a writing notebook, a planner, post-it-notes for the planner, etc etc--now the h1945 has replaced darn near all of it!)

I gave this unit 4 out of 5 stars, only because I've been having difficulty with getting the Bluetooth to work, and I had to soft reset it once. Of course, this could very well be due to my inexperience with setting up wireless technology.

All in all however, I have had an excellent experience with this unit so far; I was particularly pleased with the fact that my unit came with a travel and a car charger plug to complement the USB sync cable. Had to go out and buy an audio adapter jack though, but I bought a refurbished one, and it all comes out in the wash anyway.

So, there you have it. I was originally led to believe handhelds were only for organizer purposes, but I have seen the light! lol. They are nearly as flexible as the user wants them to be, which is a very nice trait to have in a handheld.

very durable, good value
i have had one of these bad boys for 3 years, i have hard reset it twice and have had no problems with the screen breaking(i dont drop stuff that cost $300[at the time] so there is no problem)

the pocket office apps are nice, although they require you to convert from pocket to regular format each time. the ActiveSync software is majorly flaky, especially with bluetooth, but i just stopped synchronising and only used it to install programs. the button layout of the PPC is very comfortable, the screen is fairly bright, and over all it is worth 200$$

i am getting rid of my iPaq and swithcing to the palm T|X(which is the same price as the iPaq was when new and has much nicer...everything!!)

hope this helped
