|  Dell's Axim X3i Pocket PC was originally to have shipped with both leading wireless technologies, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. However, during testing the Bluetooth portion was dropped, with only the Bluetooth logo on the stubby antenna remaining to indicate that it was ever present.
The Dell Axim x3i is very lightweighted and small, its easy to even carry it in the pocket of my shirt. It comes with a bright display, a little smaller than that of most competitors (same size as the MDA/2 display). Even in bright light the contrast is very good. I placed a WriteShield protector onto the display, even this didn't reduce the readability.
Besides the 4 standard buttons the Axim X3i comes with two separate buttons: one to record voice-notes and a second to activate the wireless functionality. As I never use the voice recording I re-programmed the button to activate the bluetooth manager. This allows me to only switch on bluetooth, as the bluetooth manager by default turns on bluetooth. Using the bluetooth manager is easy, ist very easy to bond other devices. I notice much improvement since the beginning of bluetooth days. Using and connecting to wireless LAN is also easy, just a single click and youre in. Using the X3i even I could connect to the internet using "Work" settings without much trouble (as it usually tends to be).
