Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Someone put this "my god is better than your god" thread out of it's misery.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

actually I don't own one, though I do know someone who does.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Again, how is 4 hours bad? Thats the same as the N800? Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Impressive. A x51v can get 16 hours with a 300mAh battery.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Didn't you just say yours lasts 4 hours?

Shifting goal posts much?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

4 Hours with the default 1000mAh battery. 3300mAh lasts about 14 to 16 hours. Depending on brightness and etc.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Unreal... Soon enough you will experience all the glory the Axim and WM5/6 has to offer. When it doesn't last for 16 hours on 300mAh (doing what?), reality will start to set in. Based on my experience (with the slightly less efficient x50v) that sounds about right for the discharge current for the sytem in standby given WM5 or 6. They aren't selling 2200mAh batteries for the Axims because people need 112 hours of *use* ! Regardless of what you think about the Nokia lineup this should be a good lesson.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Actually, its 16 Hours with full brightness and normal "usage" about 10 hours with WiFi, and 9 hours on a video (640 x 480) on a loop.

Pretty impressive. Though, I'll get a 1100. The fact that the n800 has no PIM, or Calendar, or To-Do, or anything management software kills it for me. Not to mention its horrible video support and lack of apps and games :(.

Goodbye world! I'll see if the N900 is good when it comes out probably next year. Perhaps I'll pick up another n800 when its 100$ bargin bin like the n770.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

>>What exactly is the advantage of doing "online banking" and "ebay" on a N800 versus a laptop?<<

No, no real advantage. If I can put my laptop in my pocket whereever I go, I wouldn't have wasted money on a N800.

This shall be my last chat with you, my friend. I can see that you are in a defiant mood today; nothing people say will satisfy you. Or perhaps you forgot to take your medicine today?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Do you even realize you said 300mAh rather then 3300mAh by this point? I hope you got the "input" you were looking for, but now I know it's time to to leave this thread.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Goodbye to both of you then :D

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

we enjoy the n800 and u enjoy your dell. now evry one is happy. lets stop it here

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

I had an N800 as well so, yeah.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Beni,

The previous response hit it... just be happy with your Axim. As it stands, all you come across as trying to do is incite a respose contrary to your belief.

Good luck with your Axim. Many people are happy with the N8x0 also. accept it.

Don't be a tool.

R.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

When did I say that people weren't happy with their N800's and N810's?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

The Dell X51V isn't the machine you think it is, but you keep right on thinking what you wish.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Do you have one?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Read back in the thread.. it was all stated already.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

I already responded to all of your points. So I guess you concede.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

LOL.... right.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Then prove me wrong :D.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

BTW, you're not gonna be running Opera Mini for free unless you have a JVM loaded. Then it is single task with no support for MIME types.
Opera does make a WinMo browser dude... but it ain't free. Nothing good for WinMo is free unless it is crippleware. :)

About the only plus with WinMo is that because of its large userbase and time in market, pirated software is now available...
That is if you like stuff that is 1 or 2 versions old and has a nasty habit of hanging...
Another feature that the tablets don't have though is soft reset... you will get to know that real well with a PPC because you will use it a couple of times each day. :)

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

So? The Internet Tablet isn't free... most good things are not free. If I was desperate enough, I could pirate the software, though I wouldn't do that If I had money to spend since I'm too lazy to find and keygens and whatnot;.

Why is that? a 3300mAh battery lasts 14 to 16 hours with standard use. Heck, I'm not even awake that long.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

OK people, stop feeding the troll. That unfortunately is exactly what Beni is. Why trolls enjoy being trolls is beyond me.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Do you even know what a troll is? It is impossible for me to be a troll since I am the one who created this thread. Trolls to go other threads and de-rail them. So, well, you are wrong. To put it bluntly.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

I do, I do!!

From Wikipedia:
"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the singular intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.[1] It often has a broader meaning referring to any shady trouble making Internet activity."

I'd say that's pretty much the standard definition.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

And as you can see I am not.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Bollocks! You fit the exact definition of a troll. :)

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Ah, then point me to the posts where I am "trolling". If anyone is trolling, its you guys who are claiming that I am a troll. :D

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Hey beni....... can i have your picture???
Just that the wikipedia page for a troll does'nt have a picture!!!

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

I hate to say it, but Beni isn't the one who comes across as trolling. He has read Axim specs, and he's comparing it to the reality he has in his n800. When he has the Axim, he will probably see it differently, but theoretical specs vs hard cold n800 reality, that's what he is looking at.

You guys attacking him and acting rude and dimissive doesn't make this forum look better. He's one guy acting rude, but there are several of you who have responded in kind.

If your (and my and Beni's) n800 is so much better, then you shouldn't need to be defensive or dismissive. If someone wants to *hope* that another device they don't own yet will solve their problems, why is that any skin off of your nose?

And for an n800 owner to post this thread here seems as worthwhile as if he had posted in the aximsite forums.

(full disclosure, I've had winCE and winmobile devices for the last decade, including an Axim, and I despise wince/winmobile. 7% battery drain per day in standby, ugh. That's part of why I am so impressed with the n800, and why I read these forums. But you guys could do better in keeping the fan-boy aspects down.)

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

The N800 has good battery life. Main reason I want a Axim is because it has alot of really good PIM programs. I'll buy a N800 again when its cheaper though. How long does it take for the WinCE devices to boot from complete shutdown.

I never left my N800 in standby, I always just turned it off completely, so I guess I won't have to worry about battery drain and what not. I heard WM5 has really good battery management (At least compared to WinCE 2003/02 anyways)

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Hey PLeBlanc:No offense, but you should have re-read the thread before posting. Do you honestly believe someone who stated that one could not do anything "productive" with a n800?

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Obviously people here have important uses for the N800 - like the sys admin guys.

If biz/win. apps are such a priority, then you'd still want a keyboard, I would think.

If handheld web browsing isn't such a priority, then the Tablets shouldn't be the first place one would look. People keep comparing them to PDAs and Phones. The EEEs may be quite capable, and even briefcase-able, but definitely NOT shirt-pocketable and handheld-able! :)

I have a laptop too, but I still don't like packing, lugging, unpacking, booting, and waiting on it, etc. Give me an instant-on, shirt-pocket device for instant web access (that I can also incidently make Gizmo calls and eBay bids on).

BTW, I just showed my N800 to my Apple True Believer friend (who has a G5, laptop and touch). He was impressed enough to start looking for a good price on one. The screen is what sold him, I think.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

What exactly could you do on the N800 thats productive, that you couldn't do on a PDA, or a anything with a internet browser and SIP?

Get a instant on laptop :). You can make ebay bids on anything with a internet browser btw.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Sorry, pal. I said no more chat with you. My suggestion is for you to re-read the thread.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

I already responded to your other posts. If you concede them get out :)

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Sorry, no - more - chat.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Unless I misread something...the quote you referenced indicated your position that the n800 couldn't do_anything_productive...now you're stating that it's as productive as something with a web browser and SIP. Please clarify. The IT's ARE a web browser and SIP...that's kinda the point.

To address that question (productivity outside of a web browser and SIP), you get all the functionality you want as you have an open platform for development. What you don't get is the packaged 'out-of-the-box' experience of an iPhone, Axim, or Palm PDA. If the apps you want are easily available on another platform, and you have little need for shell scripting or the like...cool.

Re: Dell Axim x51v
 

Good riddance then :D


Anyways, I wonder if my 8GB SDHC will work.. hmmm.
