The first Dell Pocket PC with built-in Wi-Fi (X3i) reviewed; price comparison of all Pocket PCs with built-in Wi-Fi
October 15, 2003 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By anonymous 1.

The time has arrived, when it makes no sense to buy a PDA without a built-in Wi-Fi! Fortunately on time also Dell provides such a model of Pocket PC, that features built-in Wi-Fi, and Dellīs offering is the cheapest PDA on the market with built-in Wi-Fi. Here is the current list of Pocket PC PDAs with built-in Wi-Fi (prices from United States):
  • Dell Axim X3 Advanced w/ WiFi : $379.00
  • Hewlett Packard h4150 : $459.00
  • Hewlett Packard h5455 : $699.95
  • Hewlett Packard h5550 : $699.99
  • Hewlett Packard h5555 : $649.99
  • Toshiba e750 : $599.95
  • Toshiba e740 : $459.95
Author of the review was very satisfied with the performance of the built-in Wi-Fi in this Dell Axim X3i:

Like I mentioned earlier, I had great success getting the WiFi to see my WAP. I was online in less than 5 minutes. I live in a 2200 square foot brick house. I have surfed Aximsite and PocketPCthoughts.com from all reaches of my house. I invited a friend over last Saturday and he was amazed. I had strong signal levels all throughout my backyard too. Tonight I enabled the WiFi and walked 4 houses down the street before I lost my signal for good. In the car I made a post from more than a tenth of a mile from my house. In my outside testing, I did not find any other wireless access points on my entire street.

Alghtough Dell Axim X3i doesnīt have built-in Bluetooth, it looks like a very interesting proposition as it is the cheapest PDA (not just the cheapest Pocket PC) on the market, that features built-in Wi-Fi. However if you need both built-in Wi-Fi and built-in Bluetooth in one device, then Hewlett Packard h4150 may be better and more cost effective offer for you.
