CNet have their review of the Dell Axim X50v up, and they are not as nice to Dell as some of the other reviewers.

Cnet's review can be found at http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Axim_X50v/4505-3127_7-31138229.html?tag=cnetfd.sd.

CNet only gave the X50v 7.6 out of 10 (higher than the 7.0 they gave the Asus A730, but lower than 7.9 for the hx4700, 7.7 for the e800, or the 8+ they regularly give Sony's failed Clies), do CNet dislike all Pocket PCs or is it just Dell?

Here are their comments:

"The good: Large VGA screen; great graphics; included gaming bundle; Windows Media Player 10.0 Mobile; fast processor and ample memory; integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; sleek design; user-replaceable battery.

The bad: Heavy; small navigation toggle; lackluster software bundle; so-so battery life and video performance."
