biggest piece of junk.......2005-03-07

My Dell Axim is the stupidest $500 I ever spent. It locks up, won't recharge, needs constant tending and the battery life is like that of an insect. If you need this kind of useless equipment, buy another brand. Sure, they ship quickly, but using the Microsoft platform just adds to the problems.

Save your money for something else..........2005-01-09

Dell does not make a reliable PDA. I am on my third one and it is now a paperweight. Dell does not support their PDA's so if you do buy one, spend the money for the extended service. In my case, the repair cost was stated at $199 and they would send a factory reconditioned unit. You can buy there bottom end PDA, brand new for $199.

Axim X5 is the worst that could happen with you.......2004-04-19

I ll be short. I am really tired of explaining in details what i HATE about Axim X5, and how I regret that I was on a cheap side and bought this monster. I noticed that some of the happy Dell customers are happy for the first couple of months. Wait till your warranty expires!!! This axim x5 is good only for 6-7 months then its good for hammering nails. I am sure that nobody is happy about an idea of buying a new Pda from Dell every 8-10 months, except for Michael Dell.
So quality is bad, and I am really surprised as they do pretty good laptops and desk tops.
Customer service: God!! Send some mercy!!! Listen, I speak with an accent, I live in New York, I got used to dozens of accents. But I refuse to understand this ridiculous mumbling, robot's phrases,like "Or Mister Smith, I understand your frustration". Yeah right... But what kills me the most is the fact thaty they LIE to you. "Did you sent my axim 5 back???" "Yes we did!!" 3 weeks later no results!!!

I am tired of dell,

Dell doesn't care about you or your data........2004-03-12

I bought one of the Dell Handhelds and found that the SD slot did not work after buying three cards to try. I ended up calling Dell Support to help troubleshoot my problem and they told me to perform a "hard boot". They failed to tell me that this would wipe all my data on the device and I lost two days worth of information on it. When I found that this was the case and the representative didn't mention that it would wipe it all, I was very frustrated. Worst of all, it didn't fix the problem. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was informed that they didn't have one because "they've all gone home". As a result, it's been sent back and I'm very happy with my iPaq--and its support. Buy a Compaq, they know that data is important and my calls to support don't get treated as a casualty of doing business.

Pretty amazing for its price!.......2004-02-06

INTRO:
Hey, if you're reading this review, you are thinking whether to buy this or not. If I were you, I would buy it. This is because this little handheld is pretty amazing (with some attachments).

CAPABILITIES:
Well, first thing first. This is my first Pocket PC. I bought DELL because my computer is DELL and it's pretty good. With the optional SD and CF card (if you're going to get one of these, i recommend to buy a large SD card. This is because if you buy a CF card, your CF slot is full, forcing you not to put in additional attachments such as GPS, camera, ect.), you can add music, MOVIES, books, maps, and virtually anything digital memory. Without the optional SD and CF card, you can still add these, but the Dell Axim does not really have the memory. If you happen to buy the GPS from Pharos (recommended by DELL), you cannot fit the headphones because its right next to the CF slot.

PROS:
This DELL Axim is pretty slim, and pretty fast. It also features BLUETOOTH technology for wireless stuff. It has a CF slot and a SD slot. Also has a "Hard Reset" which is basically like "reformatting" except it takes less then a minute. You can watch movies, listen to songs, never get lost (GPS), take photos, and virtually anything with the optional attachments.
SIMPLIFIED:
*Slim
*Fast
*Bluetooth
*CF and SD Slot
*Hard Reset
*Play movies/music
*Never get lost (GPS) OPTIONAL
*You can do virtually anything (digital) with the optional attachments

CONS:
A cradle for fifty dollars? I don't think so. The customer support can be better, if you know what I'm talking about. I tried to call them for something simple, asking for the foldable keyboard, and they put me on hold for 30 minutes! Small memory (32 MB).
SIMPLIFIED:
*Cradle for fifty dollars?!
*Customer Support sucks
*Small Default Memory (32 MB)

BOTTOM LINE:
If this is your first handheld to buy, buy it. It is the best you can ever get in the price range. But before you go off and buy it, read the recommendation below.

ADDITION TO THIS PRODUCT:
256mb Lexar SD Card
128mb SanDisk CF Card
Screen Protector
Pharos GPS
Pharos GPS Car Kit
VEO Camera

CONCLUSION:
All the above products are optional. But I do recommend you get the first 3. Go get this product. It's well worth the money!

Panasonic's PV-D209 is the perfect choice for great home videos without a lot of fuss. A sharp color viewfinder gives a true representation of your subject, and a 26x optical zoom and 150x digital zoom provide great flexibility. Panasonic's Digital Electronic Image Stabilization compensates for shakes and jiggles, and the full-size head system produces high-quality images in an easy-to-use VHS format. The PV-D209 also features MotionSensor technology, which initiates recording when motion is detected, and Color Digital Fade for more creative transitions.

Amazon.com Review

The Panasonic PV-D209 camcorder uses VHS-C tapes, which you can play in your VCR with the included adapter. It offers a range of advanced features, including a 26x optical and 150x digital zoom, digital image stabilization, and a built-in autolight. It also offers programmed recording, so you can automatically set certain intervals of recording time, and a motion sensor mode, which starts the camera within seconds of perceiving motion and stops 30 seconds after the motion stops. The Panasonic PV-D209 can also record in time lapse mode, enabling it to act as a security device or to create time lapse effects. The Panasonic PV-D209 comes with a VHS PlayPak.

Customer Reviews:

Quite decent.......2002-07-26

Considering the fact that this is not a new model, the camcorder offers a decent variety of features, clear recordings, and, most impressively, a long-lasting battery.

AWESOME.......2000-06-08

Only two words. Buy it. I mean, it's even convenient in busy Chicago. I'm tellin' ya, if it works here, it works everywhere. It's durable, with awesome quality! It is, as we would say here in Chicago, "Da Camcorder"

Pretty Decent Camcorder.......2000-05-24

I bought one in May 2000. Its pretty good except for the fact that somehow the dubbing is not working. I can play it back fine on my TV but i cant record on a cassette. It might be a problem with my VCR but i will check it out . Overall it is really good quality and a great price.

Customer Reviews:

Super good headphones.......2001-12-12

I have had these headphones for about four months now and have never had any trouble with them. They were a little uncomfortable for the first couple days but ever since they have felt really comfortable now that I am accustomed to them. I wear them for about 5 hours every day, sometimes more. Sometimes I crank my volume really high when I'm listening to music and the headphones still deliver really clear, loud sound. But what I like best is that they do an excellent job of muffling outside sound and keeping the sound in. I can play my music or games with the volume quite loud and my roommate, four feet away, can't hear even the slightest noise escaping from the headphones.

Great Cassette Player.......2001-03-18

I have gone through three cassette players in the last year. This one has lasted 6 months and is still going strong. Philips seems to make some pretty durable products compared to others. I like the color too.
