Update: Axim X51 first leaked photo is a fake

Alexander Turcic · 08-28-2005, 07:20 AM

Update: Well perhaps we should be grateful about the fact that this image is a fake (nobody thought the depicted device looked any better than the X50). Thanks to the guy from Aximsite who uncovered the truth. Hold your breath and check out here to see where the photo was coming from (did anyone forget his deodorant, coz' that fake stunk!)

Say what you will about form over function, but we've never failed to be impressed by the sultry curves of Dell's Axim X50 series. Now if this photo is the real deal, the Axim X51 series, which recently received Bluetooth approval, will look strikingly similar, with only a few layout changes for the buttons. Judging from the size of the screen relative to the button area, the photo was made of a QVGA model.

Thanks to mrsaint!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I always say...

Did you notice that this device doesn't even seem to run WM 5.0 as we know it? Some other things that look different from the X50:

- button assignment
- case color
- top right has two leds; X50 only has one
- speaker in the top left is missing
- Dell logo has been replaced with something that looks like out of Star Trek

Well if this one is legit, I definitely prefer the old X50 series. Of course this could just a prototype case of the X51...
