Author's Review
After looking at almost every PDA available for $200-$300, I went for what Dell offered, the middle of the 3 Axim X30's. This is my very first PDA, so I have alot to learn, and for the most part I'm learning it quickly. The big selling points are the Wi-Fi, Pocket Word & Excel, good processor & decent memory. The Wi-Fi is taking a little while to figure out, so hopefully in the future the process to connect will be simplified. But this may be related to Wi-Fi in general, not just Dell. Once connected it has been very fun, and you can switch to landscape mode to improve browsing. The Axim switches between programs quite effortlessly, even since I've started to load it up with medical software (for nursing school). I called Dell's customer service to help explain something and they were direct and very helpful -- another bonus. I wasn't worried about all kinds of bells & whistles, so for the price this is working out to be great deal. I did not buy this for lots of contact/scheduling/IM type stuff, and supposedly other PDA's at the same price have more packaged software. Regardless, I feel as if I have a mini-desktop at my hands, with lots of expansion capabilities. I definitely recommend this product.
