Well I finally got my first PDA, the Dell AXIM Advance, after browsing around the internet and my limited hands-on with a few models at the local shops. Since this is going to be my first PDA, I decided that it should be something running on PocketPC as I am a Windows user. It's a simplistic thought but after looking around, the camp running on PalmOS didn't have both CF and SD expansion slots (which is something I wanted) with a great display at a low cost. The Axim seems to fix like a jigsaw and off I went to acquire my new toy. Now lets check out all the details and see if it lived up to my expectations.
