Top Deal Review - Dell Axim X50v - Handheld - Windows Mobile 2003 SE
Having used a myriad of PDA's (in various flavors of PPC/Palm) I can honestly say that this is among the best of the bunch if not the best I have used.
Onboard audio is good; no need for an outside program (for the most part - if so, go get betaplayer [search google] as its a free program that will play pretty much any media file).
Storage is a bit on the shy side, yet with the dual capability of both SD and CF cards this really isn't a problem.
Wifi works good, I get signals all the time - even in places where I probably shouldn't. Some theaters and grocery stores really need to ramp up their wireless security.
The screen is bright and sharp, running one of the true-vga programs makes for a neat change (especially with some of the enhanced calendar programs).
The first of two downsides to this PDA is that old programs that are not compatible with the new hardware - yet you are going to run into this with any PDA eventually.
The second is the arguably slow IRDA port. It will work for browsing television but you will not want to replace your remote control with it.
Bluetooth is solid but I really don't recommend it for file transfer; there is a bug (arguable as to which end it is on) that can limit the file size or transfer capability.
