I **HAD** one for a little more than a week. It was a good little PDA, but the wireless card's range (about 10m) and IR's range (about 1.5m) was not what I had expected, and I really didn't feel that I *needed* it, so I returned it.

I have an Axim X5 Advanced (400MHz, 64MB RAM). It's held up for the 16 months I've had it, and has a few problems with the power button and touchscreen (but I like it so much that I won't replace it yet :)) ... also because i don't have the budget to :heh:

I hope you like it! Also, post back with your wireless observations... I might get a CF 802.11b card if you think it's worth it!
