Good day Everybody, I thought i'd create a short blog post concerning the newer Ceramic films currently offered through 3M as well as other Window Film Suppliers to simplify a couple of details. Though traditional window films may be dyed or metallized, ceramic window films are actually produced in completely different manner. They are made of a nano-ceramic material which results in one of the most significant developments in Window Films in many years. Although higher in price compared to other dyed or metalized films, ceramic films perform significantly better in terms of infrared and heat rejection. They also prevent approximately 99% of Ultra violet rays, considerably reducing fading associated with furnishings, draperies, automobile interiors and so on. Yet Ceramic Series films actually allow 30% to 50% of the natural light through your windows. You will find there's wealth of information and facts on the web, just run a google search on for "Ceramic films" or visit the Residential Window Tinting page at Sunrayfilms.com website.

I’ve seen the X5 screen in the sun and as I have said it is very difficult to see. The Axims are very readable in the sun. Very bright backlight. If the X70 use the same screen technology as the S5 then it will not work out. Thanks for the feed back.

Go for a S5 since the s5′s screen is the same quality as a ex70. Should be fine considering that you guy’s are using dell axim’s.

I work at a university and I am looking for a device to replace our Dell Axims (windows mobile) which we use extensively the field. The advantage of a device such as the X70 is that in running a full-blown version of windows it allows us to load the all of the programs we need to communicate with our various field instruments. Sometimes it is quite a hike to get to them. Size and weight are important considerations. We also will take advantage of the built in GPS as we use ArcPad to do mapping. One of my collogues purchased an S5 to try out. The S5 fits the bill except for one of the most important features. Which is the screen brightness in full sun. You really have to strain to see the S5 in full sunlight. Also in our application flash memory has it all over a hard drive. If the X70 can be seen in full sun, and the price is reasonable, we are likely to purchase up to sixteen! Also I’ve read that it isn’t pocketable. How about in a cargo pants pocket? So can you please tell me what the visibility of the screen is like in full sun? Problem is our fiscal year ends in June so I have to spend out my account by June 12th! Ahhh!

I am so lucky about the X70. I´ll buy it, but some informations about the performance of the 1,2 GHz would be good. Is the CPU soldered? Are there possibilities to change sth. (SSD,RAM,CPU)?

Sorry for all of the questions, but inquiring minds want to know

1. How would you compare the “softness” of the touchscreens on the X70 and S5? jkOnTheRun indicates the S5 is quite soft, X70 middle of the road. But of course this necessarily is subjective. What do you think?

2. Does the S5 have the same 3G modem (Huawei Mobile Connect) as the X70?

Chippy, understood about the entry level X70. But the higher-priced Premium versions with the Z520 @ 1.3GHZ, isn’t that the same chipset and bus as on the S5?
