*POLL*X30 or X50 you pick

[Gagabiji]

OK, this poll is between this X50 and this X30. I know the X30 has a faster core, but the X50 is so darn cool looking. 😉 Anyway, which would you get and why? Price isn't an issue, as they both would come to around $300 with discounts. 😀 Please post if you voted.

I'd go with the faster one, form should follow function.

I just got the x30 and it does everything its supposed to do. Dont really notice a difference from my old 206mhz ipaq tho.

I was thinking because the X50 is newer it might have better/more reliable wireless hardware, which is a big deal for me. Am I right?

You should spend just a bit more and get the X50v, which has the 624 mhz processor (same as the x30 you linked to), 640x480 VGA resolution, slightly larger 3.7" display. There was a dell coupon on it a few days ago, dont think its valid any more, though.

I agree, that's why I would choose the X50. It has more function overall than the X30's even if it's technically a little slower.

Yeah, I wanted that one but it's $70 more with coupon and I'm a bit cash strapped as it is. 🙁

BTW, what other good handheld makers are there? I know there is HP, but never really liked them that much in the desktop computer industry...

I'd drop by a store that lets you play with PDAs and make sure you can live with a QVGA screen instead of a VGA one. VGA was flat out the best feature upgrade I've gotten in a long line of PDAs. If it means a PDA that lasts years instead of one that has to be replaced soon because it just doesn't compete, then it's worth saving a little longer or waiting for prices to come down.

Got a question...what's a QVGA screen, and how is it different then a VGA screen?

Hmmmmm, sunase I think I found more money in my wallet. 😀 No, but I wish I knew what the different screen types mean...googling it right now. Ok did a "little" work and the big difference (not %100 sure on this please correct me if I'm wrong) is that the VGA screen has twice as many pixles on the screen then a QVGA screen?

Anyone else have an opinion?

I've looking at the same decision now. Can't decide on an X30 or X50. Does the X30 include Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile?

Shouldn't be an issue. I have an X3i which is the predecessor to the X30 and wifi is outstanding.
