Only if you are living on a remote island would let you deaf to the noise created around the launch of the Dell X50v.

So much reviews and comments ! I followed the all drama regarding the launch of the X50 because I was interested in buying a new VGA Pocket PC. My final shortlist was the Fujitsu Loox 720 or the Dell.
Finally after reading the X50v specs and reviews, I finally choose the Loox. At first sight, the Dell is cheaper, but:
- No official delay for availability in Europe, and I wanted it now.
- The battery at 1100mA is really bad for such a power monger like the VGA screen
- If you change the battery for a better one, at the end you got very close to Loox’s price, and then the Loox has a camera (not the best, but at least one).
Amazing that not a single review critics the lack of camera on the high end model .
