But they could be smile.gif

The Axim is basically a nice device, but I wouldn't consider carrying a separate phone and pda. Surely they must be losing sales - or are there lots of people who for some reason explicitly don't want phone capabilities.

Dell don't make any PDA's. Their current AXIM range is manufactured by Wistron.

Now, if you were to ask why Dell don't resell PDA phones, I'd guess that it doesn't really fit with their business model.
