tommEE's review - I got a new toy, Dell Axim X5 Handheld So, I bought a new Dell Axim. A Pocket PC PDA. I have to tell you that it is the sweetest gadget I have had my hands on in a long time. I bought the 300Mhz model but it kicks ass. It uses the IntelŽ XScaleŽ Processor at 300MHz. RAM: 32MB SDRAM RAM: 32MB SDRAM. 240 x 320 resolution at 65,536 colors (QVGA). I bought 128 of SD memory and put movies and pictures on my PDA. I played Sim City 2000 and Zio Golf2. I ordered a GPS unit and when that comes I will be reviewing that too. So for $200 this is a great deal, get it at

It's been a while, now here's a complaint.I was online talking to a Speakeasy customer service person. My network appeared down at the Pickle Pad. I sent traceroute and it was not my network's problem that I could not reach my servers. I sent the info and explained all of this to the person at Speakeasy. They responded with "The DSLAM is down and if you were by the computer we can do some more troubleshooting on it so we can send a ticket in to Covad." Well, if I was by the computer I would not be able to talk to her online. Secondly, if it is the DSLAM, then it's a phone company thing. Duh.
