"Anyone have any info on what are the major benefits of the upgrade to WM6"?

WM6 and 6.1 are faster, you'll probably have more free memory, it seems to connect more quickly via Wifi, you have the emotional advantage of using the most up-to-date OS (that's an emotional advantage for me, anyway)..

Besides, doing a clean install of any OS tends to clean things up, though if you're managing your current installation properly it should theoretically be just as good as a new install plus whatever else you install directly thereafter, though practically this usually isn't so, so there's usually an increase in speed and reliability after reinstalling.

I have a bunch of software installed, and I still have 33MB of RAM free when I soft reset.
