Dell Axim Popularity Good - Unless You Are Waiting For It

The popularity and success of the Axim is great for the Pocket PC, but if you are waiting for delivery, it is not so good. When you order from Dell, you generally expect items to ship in a few days at the most, especially items that they don't have to build. "The typical wait time for Dell gear is three to five days, though Axim orders are taking around two weeks to fill, Pinkston said. He added that waits could be even longer in some cases if customers order accessories, such as a wireless card or folding keyboard, at the same time."
Well, it could be worse. Some of us remember waiting months for our first Pocket PC as we placed orders for the iPAQ at about 50 online merchants trying to increase our odds of getting one. :lol:
