| Review - Dell Axim X3 Pocket PC PDA |
| |
The X3 is a small to mid-sized Pocket PC and all models in the series have Intel XScale PXA263 processors and Intel StrataFlash ROM (both faster and more expensive than the NAND Flash ROM found in recent low priced Pocket PCs).
Though it lacks the pronounced curves and styling of some iPAQs and resides in the rectangular Pocket PC camp, the X3 is a handsome device that fits comfortably in the hand thanks to its rounded edges. The casing is made of plastic, and both the front and back faces have a silver finish, while the sides are black plastic. It won't weigh you down terribly at 6 ounces and is reasonably pocketable. |

The X3 has the usual four application buttons surrounding the center directional pad. The 5-way directional pad is a small oval, which doesn't make it the best for gaming. Rather than placing the voice recorder button on the upper side of the unit, Dell has placed it on the lower front face where it's less prone to accidental activation when you pull the unit out of a case or pocket.
The headphone jack is located on the upper left side just above the scroll wheel, while the speaker is located on the back. The blue LED that flashes when WiFi is activated is not to be confused with the blue LED used on other brand PDAs that indicates Bluetooth activity: the X3 models do not have Bluetooth.
