Dell Axim X50

Windows Media Player 10.0 Mobile ; fast processor and ample memory ; integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ; sleek design ; user-replaceable battery

Heavy ; small navigation toggle ; lackluster software bundle

Solid performance and advanced multimedia capabilities make the Dell Axim X50 a suitable PDA for both serious and more casual users.

A check under the Dell Axim X50's hood shows a well-equipped handheld. From a performance point of view, the Dell Axim X50 fell short of the high-end X30, but keep in mind that it sports a 520MHz processor compared to the X30's 624MHz chip. As...

Dell Axim X50v

Large VGA screen ; great graphics ; included gaming bundle ; Windows Media Player 10.0 Mobile ; fast processor and ample memory ; integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ; sleek design ; user-replaceable battery

Heavy ; small navigation toggle ; lackluster software bundle ; so-so battery life and video performance

The Dell Axim X50v is filled to the brim with PIM and entertainment features; unfortunately, it suffers from subpar performance.

And now, Dell has unleashed its newest talent: the Axim X50v. With the Axim X50v, Dell introduces a kinder and gentler design to its PDAs. A check under the Dell Axim X50v's hood shows a well-equipped and powerful handheld. From a performance...

Dell Axim X50 (entry-level)

By Bonnie Cha

The entry-level X50 is ideal for beginner PDA users.

Quick Take: Dell's Axim X50 family is one entertaining group. The youngest member of the trio, the entry-level X50, is great for users who crave simplicity and fun yet don't need all the connectivity, flash, or speed of the midlevel X50 and the...

Product Reviews: Dell Axim X50

By Jason Saundalkar

buttons and its touch screen is effective. Its sound quality is good too, whether you're simply making or receiving a call or kicking back with some of your MP3s.

If you're a mobile buff, hardcore road warrior or entertainment fan who craves top-notch video support, the Axim X50 should have your name on it.

Though the Dell Axim X50 is by no means the least expensive PDA in this test, thanks to its stylish good looks and solid build quality, it certainly made us take a double take when we learnt of its price. On the flipside, we were somewhat...

Dell Axim X50v Pocket PC Review

By John Chow

The Dell Axim X50v Pocket PC features a large 3.7" VGA display for brilliant, clear images at 640x480. This was previously unheard of in a handheld device. It also features the fastest CPU ever put into a Pocket PC.

Fantastic 3.7" VGA screen, Fast 624MHz CPU, Dual card expansion slots, Good price

Short battery life

Dell Axim X50 Pocket PC, PDA Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

By Lisa Gade

Award: Editor's Choice!

If you're looking for an highly expandable Pocket PC with integrated wireless, the Dell Axim X50 should be on your short list. The X50 models have standard QVGA transflective color displays, both a CF slot and an SD slot supporting SDIO, speedy Intel ...

Great value for the price. Good performance in CPU and graphics, lots of flash ROM for storage. Dell uses Intel StrataFlash ROM which is the fastest flash ROM memory used in a PDA. VPN support included, Bluetooth 1.2 and very good WiFi management ...

Screen will suit most users but isn't quite nice as several of the HP iPAQ models. 1,100 mA battery is just adequate for the 520MHz dual wireless model and fine for the 416 MHz model. While not a large Pocket PC, those looking for a small unit ...

line. The X50 is attractive, has excellent Bluetooth software and Bluetooth 1.2 (backward compatible with 1.1) and performs well in all tasks from business to video playback and gaming.

If you're looking for an highly expandable Pocket PC with integrated wireless, the Dell Axim X50 should be on your short list. The Axim X50v is the VGA cousin to the X50 models covered here, and the v and non-v models share many features in...

Dell Axim X50v

By SaschaSegan

Bluetooth: Yes, Screen Size (diagonal): 3.7 inches, Operating System: Windows Mobile 2003 SE, Type: Pocket PC, Flas...

Media Player 10 performance is amazing. New accelerated graphics architecture promises high-res gaming and video. Excellent value.

Few programs support new graphics architecture. Benchmark test show slower performance than other 624-MHz Pocket PCs. So-so battery life.

The Dell Axim X50v is an attractively priced VGA Pocket PC that has excellent multimedia features and promises a great gaming experience. Developers: start writing those games!

Testing with the SPB Benchmark suite, the X50v finished at the bottom of our pack of 624-MHz PDAs, scoring about 8 percent slower than the HP iPAQ h4705 or Dell Axim X30 on CPU tests and even slower than its midrange X50 sibling on application...

Review: Axim X50v: Dell Sets the Value Standard … Again

By Troy Dreier

The X50's design improvements don't end with its shape. The X50 has two thumb-buttons on the side that look like volume controls, but actually turn on Wi-Fi and the voice recorder

Driving the Axim X50v's high-quality screen is an Intel 2700G multimedia accelerator with 16MB video memory, which insures that your videos will be smooth and flicker free. The easiest way to show off the video horsepower, however, is to launch one of ...
