Only SD cards of 4GB or less will work."Hope that helps some. The mid-level model includes everything the High-End X30 does with the exception of the cradle, and uses a 312 MHz PXA270 Processor instead. This was also the first Pocket PC to include the Intel XScale PXA270 Processors.The High-End X30 includes a 624 MHz processor making it the fastest Personal Digital Assistant or PDA at the time it was made. All X30 models include a standard SD/MMC/SDIO slot, replaceable/rechargeable battery, a 3.5" QVGA TFT 16-Bit color display, and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.SDHC Cards will not function. I found this out after I purchased the wrong one.LOL My mistake. Here is some info from Wikipedia that I thought others may find helpful about the Axim X30: "The Dell Axim X30 was the first Dell Pocket PC to include Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition on all models. Both the high-end and mid-level models had built-in 802.11b Wi-Fi Certification, Bluetooth 1.1 compliance, 64MB of Intel StrataFlash ROM, and 64MB RAM, while the entry-level model had 32MB SDRAM, 32MB of Intel StrataFlash ROM and no wireless capabilities.
i received the unit in perfect working order with a fully charged battery, it has worked great for the few short weeks i have had it, one of the best purchases i have made :D it has help me immensely
The current version of Windows Mobile is 6.1.(2) The Dell Axim has been discontinued by Dell since 2007. 3) Activesync frequently fails to sync some task and calendar items. Although there are batteries with higher capacities, these are slightly bulkier and jut out from the back of the unit.5) The power/data connector completely broke loose.The Final Straw---------------The final straw came when the data connector broke completely loose. Sure, there are many users who are satisfied with it but there are about an equal number us who have been dissatisfied with it as well. The PPC doesn't "see" the drive anymore; it's like it doesn't even exist.
There is no way to replace it unless you want to venture into cracking the case open and soldering the right kind of battery on. 4) Pathetic battery life. As a replacment, I got the HP iPAQ 111. Enough is enough - I decided that I had simply wasted too much time and effort (and money) into trying to fix the problems on my Axim and that it was more trouble than it was worth. I've had it for a few months and so far, I've been pretty happy with it.---It would seem that Dell has a quality control problem with the Dell Axim. What I've found is that the problems I have with my Axim are not isolated instances that are specific to my Axim:1) A problem commonly reported is the backup battery going bad or burning out. This version of Windows Mobile isn't supported by Microsoft anymore.
You will have trouble getting any support from Dell if you run into any problems.If you're not yet deterred from getting the Axim, read on.Over the course of nearly 5 years that I've owned the Axim X30, it has been plagued with problem after problem. 2) A lot of users, like myself, have the problem with the built-in storage spontaneously disappearing. Do you feel lucky. There are probably some good units floating out there, but taking the plunge to get the Axim is akin to playing Russian Roulette. First off, do be aware of the following:(1) The operating system on the Dell Axim X30 is Windows Mobile 2003 SE (Windows Mobile 4, Second Edition). I've been through countless hours searching through newsgroups and Googling to seek answers for troubleshooting problems on my Axim. I can squeeze about 2.5 hours from the battery it comes with - and that's with Bluetooth ans WiFi turned off and the screem dimmed down.
I like the sleek design of the product and its expansion capabilities. It seems to be still relevant in today's environment.
This is the second purchase, hoped that the 2nd time would be a charm. Just wish that it was reliable. Bought the Axim in November, by January it died. While it WAS working, I enjoyed the user friendly components of the PDA.
