Advantages: good price and a quick processor

Disadvantages: low battery life

Right out of the box my axim was working perfectly. Although I had a few difficulties working out how to connect to a network, once you know how to do it it is relatively easy.

The microsoft office 6.1 works well however if you are intending to use it for large scale word processing then I would advise purchasing a bluetooth keyboard as the touchscreen keyboard is very time consuming and wearing on the eyes and the letter recogniser and transcriber are as usual very temperamental.
The battery life isn't what you'd call decent and buying a larger battery ruins the design ergonomics.

Overall I think it is a very capable pocket pc. The official RRP is quite high however I was able to pick mine up for a little under £100 which I think is very decent. I have to disagree with previous reviews as I think this PDA is excellent for what it needs to be used for and a larger battery is cheap and easy to get hold of

Summary: a good quality budget PDA
