WOW is this wrong.

I do OWN both an Axim x50v and a N800. I have used the Axim for years with WM2003se, WM5 and WM6. It will be gone after my ebay auction this weekend.

A) The Axim's wifi is NOT as good as the Nokia period. Broadcom driver or not. You start Wifi on the Axim (regardless of "powersave" mode) and you literally start the battery self destruct timer. "powersave" or "auto" also comes at the cost of transfer rate and signal strength on the Axim. You can leave the Nokia on for DAYS with wifi active and accessable.

B) Bluetooth headsets work fine in OS2008, I've been using one all week.

C) Battery life is probably the BIGGEST difference between the two. Put an Axim on with Wifi/BT and max brightness and you might as well start walking toward the wall socket, trust me. That's why they make monster 3rd party batteries with new doors for the Axims. God forbid you play some high end video that gets the CPU smoking, it better be a 90 minute comedy.

D) Other then ruggidness, SDHC is superior to CF in every way.

E) You will be purchasing a broswer replacement and Coreplayer within the first week.

F) You can have as much SWAP as you want in Maemo if you have any linux knowledge. Of course if you have that knowledge you also know that there is a practical limit to how useful it is to jack it up to 1GB.

F) I'm off to the bar for happy hour, but the list could go on and on. The Axim is not a horrible piece of tech, or I wouldn't have bought it! But now that you've made your (IMO poor) choice then you might as well move on to Aximsite where there are tons WM Sheeple that want to hear this stuff. Honestly when you pick "faults" of the n800 like wifi, battery life, bt headset, etc you're not going to convince anyone here.
