This book does not offer what I was looking for, namely some in-depth information on the Axim PDA. There is a lengthy chapter devoted to the stupid games you can play on this device. But I was hoping to learn how (if at all possible) you can create a shortcut to rotate the display. Or how to always have Word and Excel start up at a predefined zoom level. Instead the book tells you how to play BallBreaker.

This book was very informative and helpful and I would recommend it to others who have handhelds and don't know its full potential. I am not very "follow the directions" literate but the book was easy to follow and step by step for the dummies in all of us!

Not a bad book but the Axim is pretty self explanatory without it. It may come in handy if you want to use yours for a GPS or want to add something cool to the CF slot like a camera. Other than that, I probably could have learned just as much surfing the Web for other users.

Seeing as how I am not a "tech" type person this book would have served me better if it had a "dictionary" of terms. Now that would make this a much better resource (for me).
OVerall, it is a good resource!

written in 2005 this book is seriously out of date. needs an update. but since Dell quit making the Axim a few years ago it's not likely this book will ever be revised.

This book has a wealth of information, but I really would not bother. The new smart phones have surpassed anything this device will do.

Seems well written but it's as thick as the Bible. Came to the conclusion this PDA wasn't for me! book was in great condition as described,packaged very well,fast shipping.

xim Handheld Second Edition. I thought it was a hardcopy of the Axim X51V manual that dell no longer offers so I ordered it form amazon. Well, this Second Edition was not really a manual but a hard copy of what the Axim X51V can do. It is a very nice book but since the Axim is very new to me I needed a manual of everything I could do with the axim including on how to accurately work the wireless capability. I enjoyed reading this handheld second edition and it did help me a lot in understanding the axim. But, of course it was not a true manual that is very murch needed but not offered anymore by dell because people would loose their manuals and want replacement manuals that are probably expensive to reproduce since the manual would be so large. In closing I do believe as the Dell Axim Handheld Second Edition book goes it is very nice but still it does not in detail train a person in "How to Do Everything" like a Axim X51v manual would do it you could still buy one. Sincerely Yours, Robert J Miguez

Without more detailed information about the operating system and its methods, this book is a useless waste of time. I threw it in the trash after 15 minutes.
