Waaaaaay ahead of you on this one, put my order in this morning.

now to see how long it takes for them to deliver it.

I sent Dell customer support an email asking if there was an upgrade path planned for the X50v to enable Windows Mobile 5.0. No answer as yet.

Nor shall I be purchasing until I get a definite answer, also.

According to Dell @ aximsite.com

The Upgrade will be out in September. Dell USA is also offering free upgrade with X50v now.

where did you get that Info from? I just had a look on the Dell Australia site and it doesn't seem to be there

Ambush · 19th July 2005, 1:34 PM

Another interesting issue is the alleged release of the Axim X51 in October.

Another discussion here.

Headkicker · 19th July 2005, 5:44 PM

i think i will get one too

anyone know where i can some nice screen protectors for the axim?

dell is offering some for $15 i think for 12. are they any good?

Digitone · 19th July 2005, 6:22 PM

Dell rang me today and was told that at this stage There would not be a free update for the wm2005, So far Microsoft had issued the USA with the licences for it tobe given out free when released but the Aus one they still don't know.

No, they are totally cripes. I'd suggest buying from elsewhere, but I do not know what brands would be good.

Headkicker · 19th July 2005, 8:42 PM

thanks Gobi,

i just placed my order for a x50v with a spare battery and a set of stylus.

$600 total

i have done a bit of research, and apparently the brando screen protectors are regarded as the best. i managed to get one from ebay for $20
