Dell Axim X51v 624MHz Personal Digital Assistant w/3.7" TouchScreen LCD

it is a nice little device, but I cannot get it to connect to my home wireless router since it seems to only have older security settings.I was expecting to be able to download some aps and add some other things to this, but so far it has been disappointment due to having connection issues at home. I have not tried in free wifi environment.I was able to purchase a wired LAN card that plugs into the device slot, but I do not yet have it operating since I need to get software drivers for the card [from the web].

A working and useful pen computer is still the holy grail we've been seeking ever since Vannevar Bush's AS WE MAY THINK. And this device doesn't get it quite right, either. The stylus is nice and there is near-zero pen lag, and you can tap on things and click on things and write on things. But can an architect sketch a quick plan for a house, can an artist draw a sketch of a happy dog? Hell no. This device can barely let you write words using capital block letters. Not sure why the Pen Tablet has been so hard to get right, but this Windows CE Pocket PC device doesn't get it right, either. Doesn't even come with a default sketching program, so what's the point of making a pen computer if you can't draw with it? Nevertheless, coming from the Palm-Pilot "PDA" family of products, this device is adequate as an electronic Franklin Day Planner, for people with so many appointments with so many different people on so many different days that there's no hope to keep track of them all without a computer.

PDA defective.

This is an aid in transferring data to our automated actuators. It is so far performing as expected.

not worth the money I paid for this item

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.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Do it come with a pen?
