I got great use out of my Axim X5, but I bought it thinking that linux would get ported to it in no time (I knew folks running linux on the Audrey and figured the Axim would follow the same arc). I ran the accursed Windoze OS on it from 2002 until the day my N800 arrived. While I miss the Axim's PIM, never again will I buy hardware in the anticipation that it will have an acceptable OS ported to it. Either it runs the OS I can get along with, or I don't buy it. I never bought anything from Dell ever again, and I'd bought quite a bit from them before that. (OK I take it back, one monitor at work is a Dell). As much as the Axim held my worklife together, it was always a love-hate relationship, more promise than delivery.
