I am not interested in reburbished units.
The Basic model for 219 EURO + taxes seems to have Xscale processor with 300Mhz
here.
The advanced PDAs can be purchased with an Xscale processor at 400Mhz
(Dell Germany).

I am interested in a Dell Axim X5 performance with Mobile 2003 but there seems
to be only a Dell Axim X5 wireless PDA on their site.

I also can not find any informations about ROM versions. I assume Dell ships
PDAs always with the latest versions. Is this correct?
