Windows Phone Thoughts: The Dell Axim X50v Wins a Product Design Award

"Dell's Axim X50v handheld, Photo Printer 540 and new Dell USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard were recognized here today with Red Dot Product Design Excellence Awards. The Red Dot design awards are announced annually by Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany. The competition is divided into three sections - product design, communication design and concept design and receives more than 4,000 entries from 40 countries... Dell consulted M3 Design to help develop a handheld with the latest PDA technology in a slim, dual-slot design. The Axim X50v features a 3.7-inch VGA screen with up to four times the resolution of a standard QVGA handheld and delivers excellent productivity, web surfing, gaming, photo viewing and video playback."



I'm not the least bit surprised that Dell's Axim X50v won a product design award. In my opinion, it's one of the best all-rounders out there - and all at a suitable price too. The Red Dot Product Design Award recognises the X50v for its great design, media capabilities and wireless functionality. If you're a happy X50v user, then let it be known in this thread. :P

Dell USA is currently having a sale on the X50 handheld range. For a limited time, there's 20% off on all X50s (or 30% off the X50v Deal of the Week), free shipping, plus the free Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade CD when it is released.
