After last weekend's disappointing Axim X51 fake which was originally from a Gillete deodorant ad (*gasp*), we must alert our readers to use the following information with care. Apparently an Aximsite user had a chat with a Dell tech rep who told him that the X51 series will hit markets sometime in October. Even better, he sent him some specs.

Assuming the specs are legit, the X51 series will also consist of three devices: X51 416MHz, X51 520MHz, X51v 624MHz. That's new: Consumer IrDA, scroll dial (!), 256MB ROM (only the X51v) and Windows Mobile 2005 (which will be also offered as an upgrade to existing X50 customers). Overall X50 owners can breathe a sigh of relief because there is no reason yet for them to upgrade the hardware (fine, I wouldn't mind the 256MB BIS).
