The Dell Axim X3i PDA pocket PC is a slimmer version than the other Axim predecessors. For you, that means a little less weight to be carrying around along with less bulk. It measures up to under seven ounces while its height, width and thickness is 4.6 inches by 3 inches by 0.6 inches. When you add a Dell Axim PDA battery with a higher charge, it adds another ounce as well as a small amount of thickness. All in all though, it is still rather sleek.

Because this device was released a few years ago, you might find a cheap Dell X3i Axim PDA.
