I had a Dell x51v and to back up other remarks, the bloated O.S. felt 'beta' I had random crashes with apps, and random OS hangs just after a reboot. The Wifi was very hit and miss, after restoring the device to it's default config the wifi would work well, after a few weeks it would again fade.

Eventually I ended up leaving the device in it's out-of-box state, and as long as in that state it was stable and did what it was advertised to do.

The browser selections were frustrating and slow ....painfully slow with minimo.

At the end of the experience I felt like I'd paid to be a bit of a beta tester. I was upgrading from a Palm and I expected the same 'instant on' snappy stable performance, that's what a PDA is all about right?

It was great for watching video when travelling (with memory cards), and it could serve as an OK browsing experience when in a pinch. I do have some good memories of that device, unfortunately I didn't have the time to invest to get it working to my satisfaction, or the patience to wait for revised firmware.

...at least the nokia tablet is still on the climbing side of the curve, and uses a more suitable OS (IMHO).
