Axim x51v has largest and better VGA resolution.

Yes, correct. That is preatty easy info to get, ahaha! :p
Look, this is what I know till know (internet full inmersion, one week... I am tired!):
Axim has got bigger screen and greater resolution. But Ipaq hx 2755 and 2490p have a very good screen too.
Wifi on Axim is for someone weaker than on Ipaq hx2750 or 2490. But I understand it is strong enough.
Axim is USB 1.2, as 2755, but 2490 is 2.0. Anyway, as I will use it for travels, I will put my stuff on SD just once, then, I will not need to put things all the time, so, not a terrible problem.
And here (http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ipaq-hx2490.htm) I read that the hx2490 has more free RAM than other WM5 devices we've seen such as the Dell Axim X51v and the PPC-6700 from Sprint. The iPAQ has 64 megs of actual physical RAM, and 56.59 megs are free at boot (the Axim X51v has 49.47 in comparison). Of those free 56.6 megs, 15.8 are used by the OS (compared to nearly 20 on the Dell), leaving 40.71 megs available for running programs (the Dell has 29.76)
This worried me a bit. But it may be just because I have no idea how to interpret these numbers. Also, maybe they are not reliable, or they depends on variable factors...
That review and a similar one about 2755 made me think that maybe Ipaq where better than Axim...
I suppose I was wrong.
