Hi, I have a Dell x51v and i was wondering what software I should install, or any hardware upgrades i can preform to get the most out of this device. I'm quite new to this whole pocket PC and PDA thing, so I apologize if I don't know what I'm talking about, or that what I've said is a bit broad. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Most advanced graphical editing: Pocket Artist (not sure if you can buy it)
Best media player: Core Player (not sure if you can buy it) but TCPMP 0.72 works well enough.
Best archiver: 7zip (has same UI as desktop Windows).
Best file explorer: Total Commander.

Some IR control program would be nice.

Bluetooth GPS receiver is a way to make it function like a map device.
I do not remember if it has SDHC support out of the box but IIRC one of the firmware upgrades offered SDHC compatibility.

There must be some extended batteries for it. I remember it's battery life is not superb.

Also get a matte screen protector.

Mine has Windows Mobile Handheld 6.5, but I can't say whether it's better or worse than earlier versions of Windows Mobile - but of course that's because I'd rather have the core Windows CE interface instead.

Totallly advise against getting 6.5. If you have 5, just stay on it - APIs are basically same, UI is cleaner on 5, 5 consumes less memory.
