  Strengths: nice screen, os is great

  Weaknesses: battery life too short, constant recharging. very little software for this unit

  Overall: Mine did not work from day one and had to serviced over and over. By the time I realized that I had a lemon, DELL refused to let me upgrade to the X51v or replace it, they would just repair it.it's sitting next to my desk, just as dead as the day I bought it. DELL SUCKS!

  Strengths: gpsbundle,ease of use

  Weaknesses: customer support

  Overall: Overall it is a great product. I recommend the cradle to keep it charged. It took some time to get the GPS loaded. The instructions do not tell which ports to use. After about an hour on the phone with customer support we finally got it. the GPS feature is better than most

  Strengths: Huge VGA screen; attractive looking; excellent graphics; superfast processor; Multimedia workhouse -- plays MP3s, Movies, games, etc.; Ability to add navigation system and other peripherals

  Weaknesses: won't replace your portable DVD player or PSP/GB; memory cards (CF or SD) can be costly for more memory (1 GB or more)

  Overall: I love this thing--I use it for work as a medical professional and and for play. I listen to my MP3s on it, watch movies, look at pics and play games. Only problem is you'll have to dish out more money for the extra memory and software to run some those multimedia applications. Games are not quite up to par in comparision to a PSP or even a GB Advanced but fun none the less. I've used it at the airport to get on the internet (free WiFi network) which is cool but could be a little easier to set up. Also comes with Pocket versions of Window Excel, Word and Media. Overall, a great PDA!

  Strengths: Awesome Screen. Great Features. Good price.

  Weaknesses: None.

  Overall: This is one great PocketPC from Dell that has an amazing screen, one of the fastest processors, loaded with features like SD & CF slots, Bluetooth & WiFi & IR, smooth design, and is good looking. It has everything and is priced well. You can put in a 2GB card and carry your movies around on this to watch anywhere. You can use it as a GPS with an optional GPS receiver. Possibilities are endless. Battery life is satisfactory though not very good. But overall its a great buy. love it.

  Strengths: fast, reliable, supports BT and wifi, expansion slots for SD and CF

  Weaknesses: Although it is not a problem so far, I would suggest to add more RAM onboard for that power...

  Overall: I had Sony Clie before and this is far more powerful (and useful) than palm. In fact I only could read books and store my contacts on Clie. Now I can browse internet, use my dell as tape recorder (the quality of voice recording is very good!), GPS navigation system plus all the same things I did on Clie. I would definitely recommend this product to everybody interesting in a real tool rather than a toy.
