RE: [FS] Dell Axim X5 Professional

["P Murgatroyd" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxx>]

Agreed totally... His was an orange model.. So that could have something to
do with it...

Peoples first reaction to the 6600 is "its very wide/fat" then
they hold
it... They realise why :-)

Agreed on the comparison front, and I wouldn't want to compare the two...
Its just that he had to make the same decision as yourself, he already has
an ipaq (5550 I think) so doesn't need two PDA-like devices... The P900 had
to go :-)

Ummm...nope, never had that problem, and never seen it mentioned on the
various web forums, though some of the forums are talking about a
large-scale stock recall for Orange-locked P900s (c. 30,000 units) due to a
firmware issue, maybe that has something to do with it.  Other than that,
not much to add to the comments below, other than to say comparing the 6600
to the P900 isn't a totally fair comparison, as in reality they are very
different phones, even though they share the same base O/S.

In terms of which one grabs the attention, the P900 wins every time, but
that's not always a good thing....

A friend had one but has swapped it for a 6600...

Peter, perhaps you could comment on the P900, particularly as whether it
cuts the first 5 seconds of a phone call off (he had this problem on two
P900's)

cheers

I love it, much prefer it to the Nokia 6600 I had for a while.  My only
issue is connecting it to the www; as it uses an internet gateway rather
than WAP, it tends to confuse the Vodafone customer service people.

There are some cool tools/utilities/apps available for it as well, much
more
it seems than are available for the Nokia platform.

I've ordered a screen protector as I carry it in my pocket, not in the
(supplied) belt clip/holder.  There has been some negative feedback on the
main forums in terms of build quality, but I've got no complaints;
certainly
way better than the P800.

I never thought I'd say it, but after the fairly ropey phones that Nokia
have been releasing lately (I don't include the 6600 in that list, but
things like the 7250, 6100), and Nokia's humorous interpretation of
Bluetooth, I *think* I'm a convert to S/E.  Only problem is that I've now
got to replace the 9 or 10 Nokia charges I have scattered around the house
and cars with S/E ones!
