I just purchased this from Dell, The price seemed pretty good. I hope I made a good choice.
I really just need it to help keep my arse orginized.
Speed really isn't a factor.
Axim X30
Anyone have any input on this thing? I'm curious to know if its good,bad or otherwise.

Looks pretty nice to me!

What the heck does anyone use a pda for anyway? I've tried to rationalize buying one of these expensive little toys, but I just can't seem to find a use for them?

I got the x3 a few weeks ago. It's the older model and cheaper.

One of the pluses is the replacable battery. Some of the others in my price range didn't have that.

Schedules, info associated with people (phone numbers, addresses, birthdays), any time you need to take random notes or something you need to do, in a pinch reading a book on the go or even taking notes in class with an attachable keyboard...

I don't use one myself because I don't like it when things get that complicated, but I know people who lead busier lives than I who find them very handy.

Or people who have memory as bad as mine. Think ... floppydisk memory.

i have a PDA, given to me by CAP to use as a Pager, "CAPNet" Messenger and "CAPMail" means. it is web enabled but the firewall is sooo GD enforced i cant even browse DBB

A PDA in the field is invaluable. Being able to have the customer prattle off requirements, and you clickity-click some options, and boom, instant quote, with materials, time, etc, etc, all up front and accurate. Insurance guys love it.

I did programming for PDA's for field/yard workers. With the built-in LAN, they save so much time and effort. (Programmign the thing is a complete pain in the ass tho')

If there's one thing Dell did right (ok the only thing), it was the Axim. Can handle abuse, the screen is clear, the features are decent enough.

PDA's are electronic Day Organizers. People who tend to lots of meetings etc need them now.

In my work, most of my clients have BlackBerrys cause they double as Phones and you can get your email wirelessly anywhere in the world.

I never knew they made toy pagers.

You may have a PDA Ace, but I doubt you got it from CAP.

And your extravagant exaggerations aren't welcome either.
