4.0 out of 5 stars Good For Business Specific Apps But Casual Users Will Find This Device Won't Meet Their Needs, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Dell Axim X51v 624MHz Personal Digital Assistant w/3.7" TouchScreen LCD (Electronics)

This now-discontinued Dell Axim has several positive features. The only negative is that there's no slot available for a SIM card (the tiny card that you get from mobile phone carriers like T-Mobile). So this device is not compatible with major cell and wireless carriers that use SIM-cards for their phones and PDAs.

The positives are a fantastically gorgeous screen, a painless set-up procedure, and an intuitive interface - the buttons are where you expect to find them, and reassigning buttons for my own business needs was a snap.

The device should work on open wi-fi networks; if your city or public library system has free wi-fi, then you should be able to use the Dell Axim if you're inside the range of a free wi-fi network. I say ** should work ** because my experience was hit and miss with this feature - my AT&T/Starbucks wi-fi account doesn't work with this device, but the same logon name and password work just fine with every other mobile device that I have ever owned.

There is no slide-out keyboard but the on-screen keyboard feature is manageable.

My own use for this device is for managing product inventory with a program that was custom-built for a specific industry. I really do recommend this product for business use - you might want to order one and see if it meets your needs before investing in a whole bunch of them. Also, since this is a long-discontinued product line, expect that you will be on your own when it comes to tech support, no matter who you buy from.
