Dell Axim X3i review

Monday 23 February 2004, 10:34 PM

Superb, easy to use, fantastic


Have run the Axim X3i for nearly two weeks. Wi-Fi access is superb, fast and efficent. I use it between my home and two Wi-Fi offices, two with NAT encryption and one with MAC encryption. After setup it logs on with no problems every time. I share my broadband connection at home and work via an ISDN connection to a remote office. Picks up my emails, picks up Outlook 2003 at the office and updates me, and surfs the Web. I also foiund two hot-spots worked first time. Put in a 128MB SD card (get it from ebuyer Viking brand only £29ish; Dixons wanted £58 for cheap n nasty) now playing Tomb Raider and just put on Pocket Streets -- got a GPS from ebay and it talks telling me where to go. Got it from Dell: only £285 inc. VAT with 1 years accidental damage, a spare long life battery, Pocket PC 2003, cradle.. its 400MHz with 64MB ROM and RAM as standard. Knocked the socks of my mate's iPaq -- no joke, and he paid £200 more. Buy it.

DELL SUPPORT IS TOSS, THEY KNOW NOWT, THEY DONT CARE, DONT BOTHER THE HELP LINE IS IN INDIA TRY THE ON LINE SUPPORT GROUP VERY GOOD GO TO GOOOGLE.. PS just got divx player and dvd to pocket pc very good.

It’s not at the top of the current Pocket PC heap, but Dell's X3 flagship offers some welcome improvements over last year's X5 models.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
